# Ethical Communication in The Workplace

## Protecting Your Organization And All Its Employees

## Poor Ethical Communication Isn’t Worth The Risk

Communicating ethics in the workplace can be challenging. The topic is vast, and the implications of misconduct are serious.

**42% of employees believe their company has a weak ethical culture – and 35% observed misconduct but didn’t report it. **  
(Source: AccountingWeb)

Common topics include harassment, bribery, fraud, inappropriate gifting (and receiving) and conflicts of interest. The challenge for internal communicators is how to effect behavioral-change, and awaken employees’ understanding of this serious area.

That's why embedding positive ethical behavior takes more than a one-off ethics training session. Something this important demands a comprehensive, integrated communications plan.

 Use highly visual channels to promote ethical behavior and survey staff on related topics

### SnapComms Ticks All The Boxes For Workplace Ethics

Today’s diverse workforce requires a range of tools for effective ethics communication. That’s where SnapComms excels. High-impact channels inform and raise awareness, while passive visual channels reinforce correct behavior.

![Opinion Survey](https://www.snapcomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Pages/Ethics%20in%20the%20Workplace/ethics-opinion-survey-variation.png?width=405&height=233&name=ethics-opinion-survey-variation.png)

[Employee surveys](https://www.snapcomms.com/products/employee-survey) can capture key indicators across the workforce, allowing compliance managers to drill into specific areas and shed light on attitudes and engagement levels that may require attention

![Workplace Screensaver](https://www.snapcomms.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/Pages/Ethics%20in%20the%20Workplace/screensaver-workplace-ethics-variation.jpg?width=405&height=233&name=screensaver-workplace-ethics-variation.jpg)

[Screensavers](https://www.snapcomms.com/products/corporate-screensaver) are perfect for reinforcing messages on ethical behavior. For example, harassment in a corporate office, or ethical dilemmas around patient care for healthcare workers.

Scrolling [desktop tickers](https://www.snapcomms.com/products/desktop-ticker) send short, impactful messages that can remain on screen until the required action has been taken by users (eg. clicking on a link).

### Features To Enable An Ethical Workplace Culture

 The SnapComms platform provides even more tools to your communication toolkit - helping improve your workplace ethics activities.

- Recurrence allows you to repeat display of unread ethics notifications until staff have acknowledged them. Frequent, repeated messages pushed out over time is key for behavioral-change learning, while variations in content and format help avoid information overload.

- Targeting options deliver notifications to defined recipients only, increasing relevance and readership rates. An application of this could be communicating around bribery to only staff in the purchasing department.

- Customizable formats can distinguish different ethics messages and emphasize high-priority messages. An example of this is color-coding message templates differently for harassment, professional conduct, fraud and so on.

- Schedule messages to specify a target delivery time, for example to coincide with a particular event or reiterate earlier messages after a suitable gap. Many organizations run Ethics Awareness Weeks or similar events; preparing and scheduling messages in advance can ensure communications around launch and reinforcement activities are delivered at optimum times.

- Reporting features provide simple tracking of message delivery and click-through rates. Insights from this can help fine tune wording and improve response rate.

- For sustained progress and improvement, track the impact of ethics communication in the workplace using dashboard reports.
