The 2025 E&C Program Trends & Employee Perceptions Report offers a dual-lens view into today’s ethics and compliance landscape, combining a deep dive into program practices with rare insights into how employees experience them on the ground.

It reveals where programs and perceptions align, where gaps persist, and what leading companies are doing to bridge the divide. 

For ethics and compliance leaders navigating shifting regulatory expectations, reputational pressures, and evolving workplace dynamics, this report delivers actionable insights to elevate program effectiveness, strengthen ethical culture, build employee trust, drive leadership alignment, and position the program as a strategic business asset.
