Codes of ethics/conduct can be effective only if communicated to all employees and reinforced through the

behaviors of senior managers and the organization’s reward system. Codes that are developed, then exist,

isolated from specific business practices and rewards are likely to have little impact on employees’ behavior.

Senior managers need to lead by example, modeling the kinds of behaviors expected of employees at all levels

of the organization. Finally, such codes can succeed only if a mechanism exists to enforce compliance with their

terms, including follow-up and corrective action.
