The Key to Effective Corporate Compliance

There should be no need these days to stress the importance of compliance in the workplace…the risk of non-compliance is too great in terms of financial and reputational losses. But establishing compliance involves more than simply teaching employees the rules of the road. You need to add “your text.”  True compliance, corporate compliance training experts agree, must involve leaders and the entire organizational culture. Here is why…

Employees need to know the regulations, yes, but they must also believe that if they raise an issue, there will be no repercussions. Leaders need to constantly affirm by their words and actions that they welcome reports of problems by employees. Leaders need to investigate and resolve situations before they become situations that require outside interference.

In this way you create a culture of compliance…where employees really believe the organization wants to find out about problems, can identify the behaviors that can lead to potential problems, and see that the company works to correct them conscientiously and without delay.
