Ethical Culture Survey

inTEgro’s Ethical Culture Survey is a 41 question adaptation of its Organizational Integrity Survey that specifically examines dimensions contributing to an ethical culture.  An ethical culture, or “inside-out” approach, is the strongest foundation for assuring ethical practices throughout an organization.  It goes beyond merely trying to legislate ethical practices, and is the best long-term assurance of organizational integrity.

Here are sample questions from the Ethical Culture Survey.  Contact inTEgro to receive samples of the complete survey and results, or to discuss survey administration, applications and cost.
