Does awareness of a comprehensive ethics programme result in a stronger ethical culture? Does awareness of an organisation’s code of ethics, speak up mechanisms, training on ethical standards and advice or ethics helpline mean that employees are more likely to say that they feel their organisations are taking ethics seriously? In the 2024 Ethics at Work survey report, we interrogated the data to find out how far employees saying they were aware of their organisations offering all four building blocks of a comprehensive ethics programme compared to those who were aware of none of the four.

The Institute of Directors (IoD)’s new policy paper ‘The Post Office Scandal: a failure of governance’ identifies lessons that can be learned from "one of the worst miscarriages of justice in UK legal history", according to the IOD press release.   The IOD paper identifies root causes of the scandal lying in decision making, organisational culture and business ethics, finding that the Post Office board of directors were unable to address the issues effectively. The policy paper suggests a new approach to professionalising boards including requiring members to undertake professional development training, to commit to ethical standards and to strengthen whistleblowing protections to include the self-employed.   Dr. Roger Barker – Director of Policy and Corporate Governance at the IOD – notes ‘The roots of the scandal are not to be found in the lines of code in the Horizon software but in the performance of the board, management and ownership function of the Post Office, who should have delivered better supervision and oversight.’ Read the policy paper here https://lnkd.in/e8vD2J7Z   💡 The IBE’s ‘Guidance for board members on developing an ethical business culture’ provides practical recommendations for boards as they seek to promote an ethical business culture within their organisations.

🎉👏Congratulations to Wellcome Trust and Fraser Simpson for winning the ECEC award for their project ‘What would Connie do?’. A creative, innovative and impactful campaign, Connie – a bright pink puppet – was developed to help make the Wellcome Trust’s refreshed codes of ethics, bringing life to something that could have been seen as ‘restrictive and dry’. Designed to be non-threatening and inclusive, they represent employees’ conscience, encouraging them to pause, think and ask ‘What would Connie do’ in the moments that matter. #businessethics #codesofethics #creativeethics

The theme for this World Values Day is ‘Bringing values to life’ – values create a sense of belonging, of being part of something wider, which translates into the culture and behaviours of the organisation. ‘The way things are done around here’ – whether an organisation’s values are implicit or explicit – provides the framework for decision-making and informs an organisation’s ethics policy.
