Understanding risk and context
Cultural Survey for Employees
Understand how your organization’s ethical culture is actually experienced.
Ethical culture is shaped by what people think, do, decide and experience in everyday work. Employees are the first ones to notice, if there is a gap between stated values and the reality in the organization. They experience the grey areas, and the unspoken norms that shape behavior. Without understanding their perspective, decisions are often based on assumptions rather than insight.
Our Cultural Survey for Employees reveals how ethical conduct and organizational culture are experienced across roles, countries and functions. It provides a safe way for people to share what supports ethical behavior at work and what may make it more difficult. Beyond the data, it sends a powerful message: that ethics is not dictated from the top, it’s shaped together.
Ready to dive deeper into employees’ experiences on ethical culture?
Here’s how we do it
Our employee surveys give you a clearer view of how people experience ethical expectations, leadership behaviour, decision-making, fairness, pressure and the ability to raise concerns. They reveal gaps between intention and experience, highlight areas of concern, and uncover opportunities to strengthen trust within the organization.
We support you in identifying practical next steps: what to communicate, what to discuss, what to strengthen and where deeper work may be needed.
Define the focus and collect employee insight
We clarify what you want to understand whether it is overall ethical culture, speak-up culture, leadership behavior, values in action, psychological safety, or specific ethics and compliance topics. Depending on the project, we use a combination of interviews, questionnaires, facilitated discussions and (participant) observation in gathering employee perspectives.
Analyze patterns and interpret findings
We identify strengths, gaps and differences across the organization from the perspective of ethical culture. We help connect the results to your culture building efforts and leadership practices.
Turn insight into action
You receive a structured understanding of how ethical culture is experienced in your organization, what should be strengthened next, and where the organization needs to listen, clarify expectations or act.
This service is for you, if…
- you want to understand the current state of your ethical culture.
- you suspect a gap between values and everyday experience.
- you want to support speak-up culture and psychological safety.
- you want employees to be heard in a safe and structured way.
- you want to identify what supports and what hinders ethical behavior.
