Abstract
To ensure the integrity and the impartiality of the work carried out on behalf of the United States government, federal employees of the executive branch are subject to a code of ethics outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations and the United States Code. For these regulations to be effective, the onus falls on the individual employee to conform his conduct to meet these standards. Thus, the challenge for federal ethics attorneys is to promote compliance with the federal ethics program. Two methods of promoting compliance are increasing employee awareness of their ethics obligations and understanding the most effective employee motivators. By comparing how federal ethics officials improve awareness within their own agencies and the tools they use to encourage employee compliance, this Article will suggest best practices for ethics officials across the executive branch.
