Dimension 6 provides a lead indicator of the effectiveness of corporate governance and easily integrates with any compliance system |
 |
The Dimension 6 compliance climate index enables organisations to identify compliance risks and develop a positive culture for compliance. This unique tool empowers leaders to act on risk factors in advance of problems associated with fraudulent, illegal and unethical activities.
It was built with leading compliance experts across a range of industries. Dimension 6 is simple, robust and provides clear understanding of compliance risk around the following factors:
|
 |
Reputations are made and broken on the effectiveness of an organisation's corporate governance practices |
|
Measuring compliance climate is simply a way of understanding how the work environment supports or inhibits ethical and compliant work practices. When properly measured, employee perceptions are therefore a powerful early warning system for compliance risks. Understanding the compliance climate helps organisations protect themselves from the risks of fraudulent, illegal or unethical activities and develop more effective work practices.
- Evidence shows that improving the workplace climate leads to better business outcomes.
- Organisational leaders recognise the importance of reliable lead indicators that can quantify how the work culture influences compliance.
- Organisations need a road map to support them in developing the sustainable workplace practices and behaviours that will bring about positive compliance outcomes. When things go wrong, organisations focus too heavily on the actions of individuals, rather than on the systems, processes, work practices and leadership behaviours that are within their direct span of influence.
|
Why measuring compliance climate provides a clear picture of behavioural risk |
- People are socialised into the work environment
- Through this process, they learn what is acceptable and what is not
- Their behaviour is moderated by individual perceptions of the workplace
- These unique perceptions can be measured with validated compliance climate tools
- Improving the compliance climate leads to a reduction in the risks of non-compliance

|
Dimension 6 quantifies the level of behavioural risk in organisations, complimenting any audit or compliance approach |
|
As organisations seek better ways to protect themselves from negative outcomes associated with fraudulent, illegal or unethical activities, Dimension 6 empowers leaders to act on risk factors before problems arise.
