CONVERGE19 is in its 4th year of bringing together the world’s leading companies for 2 days of dynamic speakers, thought-provoking breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. You will leave the conference with new resources and best practices allowing you to continue the hard work of driving ethics to the center of your business. In today’s episode I visit with Jane Arnott, Associate and New Zealand representative of the Institute of Business Ethics and visit about her talk, Risk Mitigation through Encouraging a Speak up Culture.

Tt takes leadership along with a culture of trust and fairness to sustain employee loyalty and motivation. When misconduct occurs, that same culture must encourage speaking up or whistleblowing to both enable early intervention and prevent loss. Jane will draw on country-based surveys that explain why employees don’t speak up, the steps companies can take to improve this and how technology such as a Speak Up App can work to overcome employee fears and guide an effective speak up process.
