Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Today’s episode is a “ripped from the headlines” one, where Ellen Hunt joins GWIC talk about some of the recent events of the last couple of weeks that put a light on raising concerns, whistleblowing and retaliation. Ellen is Vice President ~ Compliance Program Operations & Chief Privacy Officer at LifePoint Health, and a leader, sponsor and advocate for everyone in the ethics and compliance space.
In this discussion, Lisa and Ellen discuss some of the recent developments in the ActiVision/Blizzard fallout from the lawsuit, and the report that came out about Governor Andrew Cuomo last week. Lisa and Ellen reflect on the reaction of the ActiVision leadership, and how we as compliance officers can best address these kinds of issues. More deeply, they reflect on how to balance all our work to build a speak up culture with the need to protect those who raise concerns. They talk specifically about the fear of retaliation.
They try to identify the problems that are in the spotlight right now and Ellen in particular provides her insight into some solutions of how we in the E&C community can do better. Our profession, and the GWIC community, is based on supporting ethical decision making, so we are so grateful to Ellen to speaking and being so candid on this difficult topic.

Welcome back to Career Can Do! Today Mary Ann Faremouth is talking to Vijay Pattisapu an employment attorney with his hand on the pulse of the world of work. They discuss how to navigate working from home, the return to work, and maintaining good working relationships with your colleagues and management.
Accountability, transparency, and communication are more important than ever now that people are working from home and things are more fluid. Vijay notes that by the time he sees people things have generally gone pretty far south, and so this chance to talk about preventative measures is welcome – and the best one is open communication about the reality of your own situation, especially when you’re working at home. Vijay says that getting things in writing is even better than having a discussion, and Mary Ann reminds us that if it’s not in writing it doesn’t exist!
Authenticity is a scarce and precious resource – Vijay and Mary Ann talk about the importance of being honest in your dealings with your company and with your employees – from how you’re spending your time when working at home, to how honest to be in interviews and on your resume. Honesty is always the best policy.
They wrap up their conversation with a discussion about the changes covid is making in workplaces – mandatory vaccinations, new legislation that may be providing new rights people should be aware of, and whether or not you really need to go back to the office. It’s a challenging area to navigate for both employees and the companies they work for!

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into Venn Diagrams to consider the questions of who sets corporate values. Some of the issues we consider are:
- What happens when management dictates a corp value?
- What happens when that value is disputed by employees?
- What happens when the regulators come knocking?
- How does social media play into all this?
- How can you assess your risk?
- What is the role of compliance?
