With whistleblower suits on the rise, increased CEO firings over ethical lapses, and National Whistleblower Appreciation Day falling on July 30, it’s an important time for companies to think about their corporate governance structures, whistleblower systems, and whistleblower investigation processes. Instead of looking at whistleblowing as harmful, companies should consider whistleblowing a safety valve and a sign of an engaged, ethical culture.

Your Diversity Tactics [Probably] Aren't Working

Commentary
July 19, 2016
Jenn Callaway
Topic: 
Corporate Affairs, Corporate Social Responsibility, Leadership, Human Resources, Employee Relations, Employee Engagement, Risk & Compliance, Ethics & Compliance

MAPI’s research has found that the problem lies in how companies implement their diversity and inclusion strategies. Many businesses make the mistake of tackling D&I across too many fronts too quickly. This leaves many manufacturers stuck in a programmatic mode in which efforts are led by human resources but no cohesive strategy exists and programs are deployed ad hoc. As a result, diversity and inclusion are often seen as just another HR initiative and too few leaders and employees understand the link to business results.
