Employee willingness to report misconduct is essential
A new study released in September by the Ethics Resource Center finds when it comes to employees reporting misconduct on the job – an important measure of an ethical workplace culture – women and nonunion workers tend to get the gold star and that an immediate supervisor, not a hotline, is likely to be the go-to point of contact.
The study – “Reporting: Who's Telling You What You Need to Know, Who Isn't, and What You Can Do About It” – found that in ERC's most recent national survey, 63 percent of those who said they saw misconduct at work went on to report it to higher-ups.
