Formal training for all employees in ethical decision-making can help employees develop the skills and knowledge necessary to identify and report unethical behavior. It can also reduce the fear of retaliation that some employees may have when reporting unethical behavior. Strict punishment guidelines for not reporting unethical behavior may create a culture of fear and mistrust, while ending managerial training may exacerbate the problem of unethical behavior going unreported. Encouraging informal discussion of ethics versus formal training may not provide employees with the necessary knowledge and skills to identify and report unethical behavior, and increasing the use of exit interviews may only be effective after unethical behavior has already occurred.
