CONVERGE is in its 5th year of bringing together the world’s leading companies for 2 days of dynamic speakers, thought-provoking breakout sessions, and opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. This year the conference has gone virtual. You will leave the conference with new resources and best practices allowing you to continue the hard work of driving ethics to the center of your business. In today’s episode I visit with Adelle Elia. We visit about her presentation at Converge20 on Integrity v. Compliance: the Future of Our Profession.
As a profession, we’ve gotten used to the “ethics and compliance” label—but the rise of the Chief Integrity Officer begs the question, “is Integrity the new E&C?” Adelle Elia for a session on creating a more approachable team that’s fully connected to everyday operations across the organization. You’ll learn how meaningful company values, employee communications and organizational structures can propel a program to align a culture of integrity and ethics and make a significant impact on the bottom line.
