Bosses get burnt while cooking the books
Staff are willing to dob in their dodgy boss with 33% of Australians admitting they would anonymously tip off the tax man if their employer was cooking the books.
According to a survey conducted by Linkme.com.au, Australia’s leading career building and networking site, of the 1246 respondents 29% of employees had worked for a company where the boss was manipulating figures. Of these employees, 50% resigned as it made them feel unethical.
Mr Campbell Sallabank, CEO of Linkme.com.au says:
“Companies have ethical responsibilities to uphold. Morals and ethics are just as important in business as everyday life.
“It is the employer who needs to create a professional environment for staff and ensure all dealings are above board.
“Employees are not comfortable with business being done in a dodgy manner. In fact 37% have said they want an honest relationship with clients and suppliers.
“Unethical business practices do catch up with you. Recently several high profile cases have exposed high powered businessmen taking advantage of their position, which has landed them in the slammer.”
