Smart business leaders know that\u00a0\u201cTone at the Top\u201d\u00a0is a critical factor in an organisation’s culture. The behaviour and attitudes exhibited by those at the top of the chainset an example for the rest of the staff to follow.\u00a0This couldn\u2019t be more true when it comes to ethical standards. If a company is lax and tolerant toward unethical behaviour, it creates a confusing message for employees and actually encourages damaging habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When a company creates a\u00a0zero-tolerance environment for fraud and corruption, the opposite is true: employees understand that ethical behaviour is the norm. Anything outside of those bounds will be punished \u2013 perhaps with the loss of their job or even prosecution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Creating a zero-tolerance approach to fraud doesn\u2019t happen overnight. When your organisation enrols in\u00a0ISO 37001 ABMS training and certification, the program involves your entire team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The training helps establish an ethical culture by educating your employees on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employees shouldn\u2019t be expected to follow a code of conduct that they aren\u2019t aware exists. That\u2019s why\u00a0ISO 37001 ABMS creates a communication plan through which organisation leaders regularly communicate their ethical behaviour expectations to staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The anti-fraud and anti-corruption controls established by\u00a0ISO 37001 ABMS\u00a0also apply to personnel at all levels of the organisation. When employees see that higher-level executives are subject to the same ethical standards as the individual at the lowest level of the flow chart, they understand that the organisation is serious about its commitment to having an ethical workplace free of fraud, corruption and bribery. That\u2019s\u00a0Tone at the Top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
