Ethics Survey
 

 

WELCOME TO THE KLAUS & ASSOCIATES ETHICS SURVEY

In the business world, ethical conduct is characterized by such behaviors as honesty, trustworthiness, and treating others fairly.

The current financial crisis has left us wondering this: If ethical behavior was taught to employees and truly valued as a must-have soft skill in the business world, could we have prevented the economic meltdown? In other words, if we placed more importance on ethics and less on self-interest and greed, what would the world look like right now? We’d love to hear your thoughts.

If you would like to be entered in our drawing for an hour of free coaching with Peggy Klaus, please fill in your name and email address below. We promise not to share this information with anyone. Of course, you are welcome to complete the survey anonymously—but then you won’t be entered in the drawing!
