2024 Code of Conduct Report

Key findings from this year’s report include:

• Gen Z employees are 2.5x more likely to bend the rules despite consulting codes of conduct more frequently than older generations.
• A gap exists in how senior leaders, middle managers, and front-line employees perceive code adherence, with 90% of senior leaders believing the code is followed compared to 81% of middle managers and a drop-off to 69% of front-line workers.
• Employees are 1.7x more likely to prefer viewing the code in a traditional (PDF) format, suggesting that organizations need to communicate the benefits of digital tools more effectively to encourage adoption.
• Employees in hybrid work arrangements engage with codes of conduct more effectively than fully remote or in-office workers
