LRN's Latest Report Underscores Importance of Ethical Culture and Values-Based Leadership
Description
LRN continues to set the standard for ethics and compliance program research. Volkov Law is a supporter of, and advocate for, LRN’s research because it has consistently confirmed what we all know and believe - ethical companies perform better in the marketplace over the long run. It is an intuitive fact that employees respond better to values-based leadership than a rules-based environment and culture. Volkov Law is committed to that mission with our clients, colleagues, partners, and thought leadership.
