One Month to a More Effective Compliance Program Through Culture: Day 17 – Improve Corporate Culture Through an Internal Podcast

November 30, 2023

One of the biggest benefits of podcasting is that it allows businesses to connect with their audience on a more personal level. Unlike traditional forms of advertising, which often come across as impersonal and sales-driven, podcasts enable businesses to build a loyal following by offering valuable and engaging content. This can include interviews with industry experts, behind-the-scenes glimpses of the business, and informative discussions on relevant topics.

Now take these same concepts of audience engagement and apply them internally to an organization. What do you potentially have? A mechanism to engage your employees, to engender trust, and to improve your overall corporate culture. Do you think this is a crazy way to improve culture? Think again about all the advantages podcasting has in place already.

A major US consumer product company started a podcast and had corporate executives on it. Who were the biggest fans of the podcast? It turned out it was the company employees, many of whom had never met their corporate executives. This allowed the executives to be humanized in a way no number of town hall meetings or other similar corporate events could ever achieve.

Podcasting is a powerful tool that corporate compliance programs can use to connect with their audience on a more personal level. By investing in podcasting, corporations can create engaging and informative audio content that will help build their ethical brand (culture) and drive employee engagement. If you want a new and different way to talk to your employees, why not try podcasting?

Since you are only limited by your imagination in compliance, why not use some of that to be creative in your compliance training and communications? Podcasting has become an essential tool for businesses to connect with their employees, establish themselves as thought leaders, and promote their values and culture. By investing in the right podcast equipment and software, corporate compliance functions can create high-quality audio content that engages their audience helps to achieve their ethical goals, and improves the culture of any organization.

Three key takeaways:

1. You can improve employee trust and corporate culture through employee trust.

2. Communicating through a podcast can increase your brand promise with employees and other stakeholders.

3. An internal podcast can humanize your leadership to your employees.
