NEW LRN REPORT: Gen Z Employees Consult Codes of Conduct More Often, Even While Saying They Are More Likely to Bend the Rules

NEW YORK, Sept 11 (Bernama) -- A new report released today by LRN Corporation, the leader in ethics and compliance solutions that enable organizations to inspire principled performance, reveals striking generational differences in how employees engage with their organization’s code of conduct and approach ethical decision-making in the workplace.

More specifically, Gen Z employees say that they are more likely to consult their employer’s code of conduct than older generations (63% versus 49% of Boomers, for example), but are paradoxically 2.5 times more likely to agree that bending the rules is acceptable to “get the job done.” This generational divide poses unique, and significant, challenges for ethics and compliance (E&C) professionals aiming to build a consistent ethical culture across their multi-generational workforces.
