Not all workplace cultures are created equal. Some are more ethical than others. The first step to improving your culture is to assess its current state. Ethical cultures are measured by looking at three factors: ethical content, how well ethics are put into practice in the organization’s everyday operations and how well each individual adheres to ethical behaviors. When we say that one organization’s culture is “more ethical” than another, we refer to how well the organization’s values, systems and policies address the complex realities of its everyday operations.
