Congratulations to Lauren Burkhalter for being the first to submit the correct answer to Got Ethics? Hidden Trivia Challenge #4.

The following are all benefits of an Ethical Culture:

  Companies that work to build and maintain ethical workplace cultures are more financially successful and have more motivated and productive employees.

  Organizations with stronger cultures find far fewer employees (4%) feel pressure to commit misconduct than in weaker cultures (15%). Likewise, the rate at which employees observe misconduct by co-workers is nearly twice as high in weaker cultures (76%) than stronger cultures (39%).

  Organizations that build an ethical culture outperform organizations that do not.

  When companies value ethical performance, misconduct is substantially lower: In 2013, only 20% of workers reported seeing misconduct in companies where ethical cultures are “strong” compared with 88% who witnessed wrongdoing in companies with the weakest cultures.
