Ethos International assists senior executives and Boards of Directors of public and private corporations and other business entities to prevent misconduct by developing more principled organizational cultures.
Ethos helps to cultivate the commitment of employees to better serve the needs of customers and the interests of the communities where they do business.
Ethos International professionals work with an organization’s leaders to:
- State clearly the values on which they expect employees to serve their customers, communities and each other
- Integrate those values into business processes from strategic planning to performance management, compensation systems, and the assessment of individual and group contributions
- Improve employee orientation, training and development programs, so that as responsibilities grow and roles change, decision making and conduct continue to be informed by the organization’s values and ethical principles
- Foster an environment where open, honest discussion of ethical issues builds mutual trust, confidence and integrity
Officers and directors of organizations must rely on honest, accurate information about the organization’s performance and the challenges that it faces.
Underpinning that information must be properly designed and functioning management systems and processes, including those that encourage employees to raise questions about proper conduct in an environment that is safe, secure and responsive.
The professionals of Ethos International are among the most experienced in the design and assessment of such systems and processes in the areas of business conduct, ethics and compliance, privacy and secure communications.
