Company of the Week
Ethics Suite

Ethics Suite was created because there is a better way to manage misconduct reporting between employer and employee. With nearly three decades of experience investigating whistleblower and misconduct-related investigations, Juliette Gust and Tricia Fratto developed the first incident reporting system developed to be fully customizable for every industry. When a company offers an incident reporting system, it empowers employees to report fraud, theft, embezzlement, and unethical behavior without fearing retaliation. Since inception, Ethics Suite helps businesses across dozens of industries form a trusted line of communication between management and their employees. Ethics Suites’ goal is to provide companies with the tools and know-how to take charge of their organization’s commitment to an ethical business environment. Using the Ethics Suite incident reporting system, businesses monitor workplace behavior and make changes before issues become costly or public. When you protect your employees and put your business first, your company flourishes.

OUR FEATURED ALLIANCES

Easily one of the best hospitality conferences in the US and Europe. It is carefully designed to foster both networking and the presentation of cutting edge information trends in the hospitality sector. And there’s a functional exercise dealing with security, PR, insurance, and legal issues. From LA to the UK, no other hospitality conference I’ve been to does it like this.
