Have you ever felt like you are exactly where you are supposed to be? That’s how I feel about Ethisphere. I admired the brand and the mission long before I joined the company and it’s the people and the culture that keep me here. It’s an environment where you are encouraged and challenged to be your best self and bring those attributes to the great Ethics and Compliance community that we work with. The culture encourages participation and provides the psychological safety that allows it. We celebrate our colleagues who lead by example, and support and mentor new colleagues who join the team. What I value the most about being part of this organization is its authenticity – we don’t just talk about ethics and integrity we put it into practice every day.

The first thing that jumped to mind was how Ethisphere has encouraged me to grow and develop as a professional. Ethisphere has never been shy about expressing their confidence in me, and with their guidance over the last two years we have organically grown my role to include aspects of data analysis, departmental management, technical writing, and product ownership. To receive that sort of trust and backing from a company seems so rare nowadays, and it continues to be why I look forward to each new challenge as a part of the Ethisphere team.

I’ve been with the company for two years and have always felt supported, especially when I welcomed a new addition to my family. The generous leave policy, flexibility, and understanding from my teammates made this life change much more enjoyable. I appreciate that I can operate autonomously, and the culture encourages learning and collaboration, where making mistakes is seen as part of growth.

None of the organizations with whom Ethisphere partners are here to “check a box”; they’re all genuinely interested in and committed to improving business ethics and culture. Getting to support them in that shared mission is super inspiring. And being able to see “inside” so many programs and companies has enabled me to grow in my expertise and ability to add value as an advisor, which is gratifying on a personal and professional level. Cherry on top? My colleagues are *chef’s kiss*.

One can easily be inspired by the mission of the company. Who doesn’t want to see companies doing the right thing and be a force for good, right? But what initially drew me in was the people behind the work. People that cared deeply about how we can best support E&C leaders and their companies, but also people that cared deeply about any employee’s role at Ethisphere. The people at Ethisphere empowered you to immediately contribute, giving you permission to make decisions, take some risks, and help the company grow.
