Ethics Resource Center Online Benchmark Portal
Lock Media has built for the Ethics Resource Center (ERC) the ability to provide clients with access to ethics related benchmarks and benchmarking tools for organizations to better understand their own data on ethics and compliance program effectiveness.
Specifically, ERC Online allows organizations to:
- Benchmark survey data against industry peers and national averages
- Analyze data by demographics such as division, business unit, management level, country, age, tenure and union/non-union, and benchmark these cross-tabs against industry peers and national averages
- Generate tables, bar graphs and PowerPoint slides for presentations
- View updated benchmarks for industry and national averages as ERC accumulates more data
- Share lessons learned and discuss emerging issues with industry peers and within your own company on discussion boards
- Review ERC research papers to provide context for organizational survey findings
Access resources from organizations dedicated to ethics, compliance and anti-corruption from countries around the world
What is the Analysis Tool?
ERC's surveys measure several interrelated components of an ethics and compliance program, including: expected program outcomes, ethical culture and formal program elements. Your subscription to ERC Online allows you to use the benchmarking query tool to sort selected data by those components (primary metric groups) and generate cross-tabs by management level.
You have limited access to ERC's ethics benchmarks through the analysis tool. Clients who conduct surveys with ERC can use the tool to compare their own survey data to ERC's benchmarks. Organizations who donate their data to ERC can also purchase a subscription to obtain more comprehensive access to our benchmarks.
The data in the query tool are subsets of ERC's 2005 National Business Ethics Survey® (NBES), a household telephone survey of a random sample of employees across the United States. In 2005, ERC sampled 3,015 employees over the age of 18 who worked more than 20 hours per week in the 48 contiguous United States.
