In this exploration, they are joined by DS9 maven, Alex Murphy, who lives in Montreal, Quebec, where he’s been a cook, baker, and general kitchen grunt for twenty-some odd years. Off duty, he is a local historian, cinema, and TV fan with a love for weird foreign films, all things horror, and obscure media. He has been watching Trek since he was a tiny punk, and it’s been a lifelong love.

Consider its writing, acting, and thoughtful portrayal of a wide range of emotions and ethical dilemmas.

The discussion touches on character arcs, especially that of Kira Nerys, and her emotional journey dealing with past actions and the realization of her desires for vengeance versus justice. Themes of accountability, reconciliation, and the transformation from violence to peace are explored, paralleling real-world issues such as the Holocaust, apartheid, and various forms of political and social reconciliation processes.

Creativity and Compliance: Using Ethics Ambassadors

Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection—they all take creativity.

Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the award-winning Compliance Podcast Network.

Ronnie’s company, Learnings and Entertainment, utilizes the entertainment devices that people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives and applies them to important topics around compliance and ethics. It is not only about being funny. It is about changing the tone of your compliance communications and messaging to make your compliance program, policies, and resources more accessible.

Today Ronnie and Tom consider the use of Ethics Ambassadors in compliance programs. Influence in compliance plays a pivotal role in cultivating an organization’s ethical culture and is being increasingly recognized as a crucial aspect of compliance programs.

Tom sees this influence proliferating using Ethics Ambassadors within an organization. In his view, these individuals, armed with additional training and resources, can effectively disseminate the message of compliance, thereby enhancing both the compliance function and overall understanding within the organization.

Similarly, Ronnie, a proponent of creative compliance training, stresses the significance of these compliance champions in enhancing influence within a company. Feldman suggests employing engaging and entertaining means, such as videos or interactive sessions, to communicate compliance messages, thereby increasing employee engagement and the overall impact of the compliance efforts. Through their experiences and perspectives, both Fox and Feldman highlight the potential of leveraging influence to foster a more ethical and compliant organizational culture.

 

Key Highlights:

  • Compliance Leader through International Employee Engagement
  • Ethical Ambassadors Enhancing Compliance Engagement
  • Safety Training Cascading from CEO Level
