The award-winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject. In this episode, Matt and I take a deep dive into having a value conversation to help companies start a conversation about values. If companies do not focus on matters, a vacuum is created where employees are left to make their own decisions, and those decisions may not always be in the company’s best interest. Tune into Compliance into the Weeds-Having a Values Conversation to learn how to start the conversation and create a safety culture.

Notable Quotes
1. “It makes a lot of sense to try to embed awareness of them initially, but it feels weird. It’s kind of outside of people’s comfort zone. It’s outside your comfort zone if you are not an ethics and compliance professional.”
2. “These questions can help people like that. And as you had mentioned before, middle managers are the crucial element in all of this.”
3. “It’s easy for senior executives. To talk about ethical values. I think for many low-level employees, and those messages go in 1 ear and out the other because Why does anybody ever pay attention to what senior management says? It’s your middle manager. It’s your boss. You pay attention to what they say.”
4. “These questions are geared to help those managers, that audience, and their crucial tool.”
