OCEG Descriptor
How many Americans workers employed full-time would you estimate are distracted on the job due to an ethical lapse? Further, how much time do you think they report losing over such incidents? How pervasive do you believe the problem to be in the American workplace? Do you think employees and the companies they work for know what to do about ethical lapses when they occur? These are just some of the issues to be discussed by a panel of ethics and compliance, human resources and worker productivity practitioners and experts in this upcoming Webinar. The panel will reveal details of a new study from LRN that assesses the impact of productivity loss in the workplace and discuss their implications for businesses.

Background
Organizations are increasing assessing the impact that their corporate culture is having on (or distracting from) business success. The impacts can take a variety of forms and include impacts on revenues, customer loyalty, employee retention and productivity.
Productivity impacts resulting from ethical behavior in the American workplace has remained largely unstudied. Yet the severity of distraction is critical information for companies to consider, and the cost and scope of distraction is significant.
Many companies have begun the journey to implement compliance programs, but far more needs to be done to foster truly ethical cultures of high performance and worker satisfaction. The LRN Ethics Study on Productivity serves as a reminder that, despite the increased attention, extraordinarily large numbers of employees are still seeing ethical lapses as they try to do their jobs. The distractions impact morale, well-being and productivity, thus affecting the company’s ultimate success and profitability.
