According to prominent surveys, three-fourths of employees witness serious misconduct at work each year, but nearly one-half of them refuse to tell anyone in management or on the board or to utilize ethics and compliance hotlines and other programs for confidential or anonymous reporting. Such silence can aggravate legal, regulatory and reputational risks for an organization. This breakfast conversation will invite directors and executives to compare and contrast such findings with their experiences and to discuss how best to strengthen a culture of trust that promotes ethical conduct.
