Ethical culture starts with tone at the top but doesn’t end there. Employees, investors, vendors, and customers take their cues from what they observe, not just what they are told. MDO Partners can assist clients in assessing their culture based on a review of key policies, reporting mechanisms, and interviews. 

The culture assessment will help our clients pinpoint gaps or disconnects between the messaging coming from the executive suite and what employees and others believe is appropriate. This assessment can serve as an early warning sign that the employees believe that management condones or ignores the unethical or illegal behavior. Armed with this information, MDO Partners can assist the client in refining its communication plan, policies and procedures.
