Harned, appointed President of the ERC in 2004, likes ethics and numbers. Under Harned’s direction, ERC has evolved to become the go-to place for statistics on workforce ethical culture, through the bi-annual National Business Ethics Survey (NBES). In other words, what are employees really thinking, and if employees witness misconduct will they tell anyone? The 2007 numbers don’t lie: while there was an uptick in ethical behavior observed in the workplace in the year right after Enron, the trend is headed back down.
