Organizational Culture Assessment
Ethical Culture Indicator
Unethical behavior by employees of an organization comes with tremendous costs. Fines, legal expenses, lost employee morale, failed projects and lost production are just some of those costs. How would an organization measure its current ethical environment to ensure these issues do not occur in their organization?
Developed through the truist Center for Ethical Leadership, the Ethical Culture Indicator (ECI) is an automated survey and organizational culture assessment that provides employee engagement and ethical feedback to identify strengths and areas of opportunity for an organizations culture. The ECI can be administered to either all employees or specific teams within an organization.
The ECI can also serve as a benchmark to measure organizational changes made to improve employee engagement and ethical activity.

The Process
Following an exploratory meeting with the client, the truist Center for Ethical leadership staff will administer the automated survey to either all or a selected group of employees.
Data is collected from all employees within 18 index categories including ethical standards, leadership confidence and ethical reporting among others. All responses are anonymous so employees may provide true feedback.
Once the survey is complete, the results are compared to the company's organizational values. A final comprehensive report and review are then presented to senior leadership on strengths, areas for growth and recommendations for improvement and implementation.
