Fairness & ethics

Ethics and speak-up culture survey

A speak-up culture survey asks how safe it feels to raise an ethical concern: whether leaders set the example, whether people know and trust the reporting channel, and whether they fear retaliation or feel pressure to cut corners.

17 questions in 6 areas, about 4 minutes. Compliance and HR teams use the results to see whether the whistleblowing system is known and trusted, and where integrity needs more visible support from leadership.

When to use it

How safe it feels to raise an ethical concern; it is not a reporting channel and points people to your official one.

Important

This survey is not a reporting channel. It measures the climate, never individual cases: its intro and its open question tell respondents to report a concrete case through your official internal reporting channel instead.

Anonymity

Answers are anonymous. Nobody, including the company, sees an individual response: results appear only for groups, and only once at least 5 people have answered. A breakdown (for example by department or site) appears only for groups that reach 5 answers on their own.

Run it with your team

Your Assessor sends the survey as an anonymous campaign: invitation links by e-mail, a live results dashboard with breakdowns, CSV export. Ready-made questionnaires come with a company account; tell us your headcount and we send access and a quote.
