Case Study: Orbital ATK builds a speak-up culture and strengthens ethical leadership with LRN Corporation

Orbital Atk Building Trust Levels and Promoting a Culture of Speaking Up

Orbital ATK, a major aerospace and defense company, faced a challenge with declining employee trust in senior leadership and a culture where people were hesitant to speak up about misconduct. They engaged LRN Corporation to help reverse this trend and update their Code of Conduct. Internal surveys showed significant drops in positive responses regarding management accessibility and employee freedom to voice opinions.

LRN implemented a two-part solution, starting with "Speaking Up" meetings to identify key cultural attributes, followed by Ethical Leadership workshops for senior management. The results were highly positive, with surveys showing 100% of participants found the workshops clear and 98.9% could apply the knowledge. The initiative fostered a more engaged workforce, led to the establishment of an ethics hotline, and built crucial trust during a company merger.
