Good Culture. Good Conduct.
Leading better behaviours in the workplace
The topic of culture and conduct has never been higher on the agenda. News headlines have been dominated by stark examples – from business, media, politics, and beyond – of reputational and financial damage inflicted by toxic cultures. 85% of CEOs and CFOs believe a toxic corporate culture could lead to unethical or illegal behaviour and low corporate integrity is associated with lower financial value.
However, policies alone cannot safeguard against poor conduct: you can have all the standards in the world, but if the culture is toxic people will still struggle to speak up about poor conduct.
The ability of employees to voice their concerns, ideas, and opinions without fear of retribution is not merely a nicety; it is a necessity.
This paper is an asset for CEOs, Leaders, Board Members, Chairs, or employees to address culture and conduct, to drive business outcomes unpick where poor conduct risks may be in your own organisation, and activate solutions that speak to the best in your culture and people.
