Is your workforce able to identify, deliberate on and resolve tensions and trade-offs in ethical grey areas? Do you have an environment where people can raise concerns?  Is ethical behaviour incentivized?

We build ethical acumen as a core professional skill, equipping leaders to set expectations and enable their people to deliver consistent outcomes. We will define and strengthen the systems and policies needed to reinforce and encourage ethical conduct and decisions, as well as the attitudes and mindsets that bring ethics to life.

Only 43% of leaders believe that companies in their industry are equipped to address ethical issues [Ethics Study 2023].

This is how we approach ethical acumen:

• Empowering people in the day-to-day – equip your people to do the right thing in the right way, aligning with your purpose and values in their day-to-day work.
• Navigating the grey – support your people to engage with grey area issues and make decisions that cannot be determined by black-and-white rules.
• Governance and policies – embed ethical commitments in your key policies and cultural artefacts to incentivize and reinforce ethical behaviours and decisions.
• Ethics beyond compliance – integrate ethics across the employee lifecycle, building the understanding that ethics lives in team dynamics and the broader environment.
