As the debate over executive compensation reform rages on, a recent survey shows most organizations aren’t linking pay to ethical behavior. Companies aren’t doing much to give incentives for ethical behavior through compensation, according to the findings of a survey of 358 compliance and ethics professionals by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics and Health Care Compliance Association.
“The survey found that only a minority of companies have made ethics and compliance a process for determining how employees are compensated, and only about one company in six ties employee bonuses and incentives to ethical performance,” SCCE Chief Executive Roy Snell says.
