In my opinion, companies should produce "challenges" for leading personal, from a sort of internal investigations team, and among them should be corruption challenges, security challenges, nepotism challenges and discrimination challenges. If you fail them, you get demoted or otherwise restructured. Of course, this creates a atmosphere of distrust, but some things, like Meritocratic atmosphere, are worth it.

Hm. I doubt this would produce meritocracy, more likely the result would be highly political atmosphere where everyone would be covering their actions instead of working.

Do you mean audits? The problem is the incentive to do these things and be honest about them, and not skew metrics to keep the company looking good. Lets say they do these audits will full honesty and find that 50% of the management deserves to be demoted. Do you think that will actually happen and how does this make the company look from a PR perspective? Third party audits would be the only way to make this work, and again what are the incentives? Security audits are common because the risk is high. Lots of money lost in a lawsuit on behalf of billions/millions of customers. The others not so much, because you would only expect a lawsuit from an individual employee, which your army of corporate lawyers can easily crush.

  It produced a stagnated society, which fell behind the rest of the world and was conquered by the british as punishment. And will be conquered by the next society that does embrace inner turmoil and change, creating competition. Regarding the natural order of things and stability, i have my very own opinions, i have voiced here, which got me downvote left, right and center. We would not have google maps, if the map makers guild & caste in old london could have prevented its creation. Creative destruction beats stability and harmony every time. To enshrine them, is to praise your future decendants slavery and missery.
