Our regular research activity has three core components which run on a regular rolling programme.

Ethics at Work: Survey of Employees

The survey, first introduced in 2005, asks employees how they experience ethical dilemmas in their day-to-day working lives. It looks at whether they have witnessed misconduct; whether they have reported it; and what stops them. 

The survey spans 16 countries over five continents and provides real insight into employees’ views on ethics across all sectors and job roles.
