Ethics at Work: Survey of Employees 2018, New Zealand

Seminars

LT3, Rutherford House, Bunny Street, Pipitea Campus, Wellington


We are pleased to welcome Philippa Foster Back CBE, Director of the Institute of Business Ethics, from the UK, who will set the scene and share the key findings of the global survey which includes Asia-Pacific countries.

The Institute of Business Ethics survey included the following questions which were put to employees, across the private and public sector, in February 2018.

  • What are employees’ attitudes to and perceptions of ethics in their place of work?
  • Do they feel able to speak up if they have been aware of misconduct?
  • Are formal ethics programmes and ethical leadership effective in embedding ethical values into organisational culture and influencing behaviour?
  • What are the challenges for organisations and what should be the focus going forward?

The Brian Picot Chair in Ethical Leadership is the national partner for this survey. Professor Karin Lasthuizen will provide a commentary on the New Zealand data.

Join us as we unveil the results of this initial survey and analyse the challenges for organisations. A copy will be available to take away.
