Our Ethics Program: Our Associates Believe in It
PEOPLE STORIES
How do we know whether our Global Ethics and Compliance (GEC) program is really working? Do employees know, understand and respect our Code of Conduct? Do they believe they can report issues without fear of retaliation?
To extract those insights and measure the key drivers of our ethics program and associate engagement, HanesBrands conducts an anonymous pulse survey every two years, sent to nearly 7,600 of our employees around the world. The survey results are benchmarked against data from hundreds of other global companies that is captured by Navex Global, the company that manages employee hotlines for most of the Fortune 500. The results are shared with our senior management teams and board of directors.
The survey consists of 15 questions. In our two most recent surveys, HanesBrands exceeded (often by significant margins) the Navex benchmarks on all 15, showing that our GEC program is performing extremely well versus other benchmarked companies.
The chart below tracks how HanesBrands performed versus the Navex benchmarks in six surveyed areas in 2018, 2020 and 2022.
