S6E7 | Yes, you can measure ethical culture

Abstract:

How do you measure ethical culture? And how do those measurements influence business outcomes? In this episode of the Principled Podcast, Ethics & Compliance Advisor Arieana Thompson talks with her colleague Emily Miner, Senior Ethics & Compliance Advisor, about the 2021 LRN Benchmark of Ethical Culture—a new study from LRN that will be released in the coming weeks. In this global benchmark survey of 8,000+ employees at corporations around the world, LRN examines the underpinnings of corporate culture and its influence on employee perceptions and performance. Listen in as Arieana and Emily explore how ethical culture doesn’t just protect business assets and reputation; but also propels the bottom line.
