What is the E2B Integrity Measurement Program?

The E2B Integrity Measurement Program tools are designed to measure the ethical environment of the organization through the eyes of one of the key business stakeholders...the employee.

The E2B Integrity Survey™ is a 28-question stand-alone employee survey tool used to obtain an in-depth assessment of an organization's ethical environment.

The E2B Integrity QuickCheck™ a subset of the E2B Integrity Survey, this is an instrument which can be used as a standalone assessment or added to an existing employee survey. It provides a high-level overview of an organizations’s ethical landscape.

Foundations of the E2B Integrity Measurement Program

The E2B Integrity Measurement Program measures five elements of an organization’s culture that E2B has determined to be the building blocks of an ethical work environment based on its value based philosophy.

• Trust, Integrity and Honesty: The cornerstones of an organization’s success and the bases of ethical cultures are trust, integrity and honesty.

• Mission, Vision and Values: Both organizations and individuals need to function with a sense of purpose and a vision for their final destination within a behavioral context. A business' mission, vision and values provide this clarity.

• Leadership: Leadership is a key factor in creating and sustaining an ethical culture. When senior management exhibits good ethical behavior, employees notice — and follow.

• Stakeholder Commitment: Business leaders need to envision their organization within a network of relationships that includes employees, customers, suppliers, owners/investors, the community and competitors. When a company balances the interests of all its stakeholders, it enhances its reputation for integrity as well as its bottom line.

• Process Integrity: Process integrity means that a company's values, mission and vision are embedded within its culture and all of its organizational processes. People feel free — even obligated — to do the right thing, even in light of short-term loss. An ethical culture is built and sustained by aligning organizational values and internal organizational processes, including the way a company recruits, hires, trains, educates, compensates, recognizes, rewards, sanctions, promotes and communicates with its employees.
