According to a third (34%) of Hungarian respondents, compliance with ethical standards at the workplace has become stricter in the last two years. Some nine out of 10 respondents (87%) are convinced that their colleagues do their work honestly and comply with all rules.
The positive change is primarily due to the tightening of management requirements (44%) and of the legal environment (21%), but the rising expectations of customers (15%), the general public (15%) and colleagues (15%) also contributed to the improving trend.
