Unethical behaviour | Staff misconduct going unreported as colleagues fear reprisals

Bad behaviour in UK workplaces is routinely being witnessed - but not reported, according to new research from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

While the British public continues to be surprised time and time again when toxic employees are exposed after years of unethical behaviour, CMI’s survey of over 1,000 British managers finds that nearly one in four (23%) managers claimed that they have personally witnessed unethical behaviour at their organisation in the last year, and one in three (33%) stating that they have knowledge of (but have not personally witnessed) unethical behaviour.
