Know Your Culture: How to Conduct and Ethics Culture Assessment
We know that culture is a key driver of ethical conduct in organizations, but the fact is that if you can’t define and measure it, you can’t change it! Consider how one of the nation’s largest electric utility companies assesses the strength of its ethics culture and uses results to both inform their E&C program and support business strategy and outcomes.

Engaging Your Stakeholders in Building and Sustaining Your High-Quality E&C Program
Your E&C program is more than your E&C team. How are you capturing their input and perspectives? There’s a framework for that . . . and it’s called HQP! In 2015, ECI convened a blue ribbon commission to define what it takes to be a high-quality ethics & compliance program. The result was ECI’s widely acclaimed Blue Ribbon Panel Report on High Quality Ethics & Compliance Programs (HQP). In this interactive session you’ll hear from the ECI HQP project team and an E&C practitioner about the five HQP principles and how they can be applied and measure the views of multiple stakeholder groups in ways that take you and your organization to the leading edge of our practice.
