There are a number of ways in which companies can reinvigorate the push for integrity. The leadership of the organization must:
- Make ethical behavior a priority for the business and demonstrate its commitment to achieving this objective
- Conduct a fraud, bribery and corruption risk assessment and identify any gaps in current policies and procedures
- Where necessary, modify and develop policies and procedures
- Implement changes paying particular attention to training:
- Be sure that training is truly tailored and relevant, reflecting the issues and day-to-day problems that their employees are likely to encounter and how to address them
- Take a risk-focused approach to who should be trained, on what, in which manner and how often
- Ensure that integrity is reflected in the appraisal systems of the business
- Be sure that training is truly tailored and relevant, reflecting the issues and day-to-day problems that their employees are likely to encounter and how to address them
These are largely commonsense measures that give employees a reason to care more about integrity by linking it to their work and their career advancement within the organization.
