A study by ethics and compliance advisory firm LRN revealed that Singapore’s middle managers lag in responding to compliance risks and challenges, compared to their global counterparts. Surveying 112 Singapore-based professionals, it found only a third of middle managers made decisions aligned with company values, below the global middle manager average of 39%. Senior and executive managers in Singapore, however, reported high adherence to ethical decision-making. The study also highlighted Singapore organisations’ proactive stance in modifying or abandoning initiatives for ethics and compliance reasons, surpassing the global average. Singapore leads in rewarding ethical behavior, with a significant adoption of ethical considerations in performance evaluations and disciplinary actions against unethical behaviour among executives, outpacing global figures.
