August 23, 2024

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 apply it 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.

In this episode of Creativity and Compliance, hosts Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman discuss the concept of nudges in compliance.

Ronnie defines nudges as positive reinforcements or gentle pushes that influence behavior and decision-making. They explore how nudges can extend learning, influence culture, and promote ethical behavior. They emphasize the importance of reinforcing learning over time and using effective communication channels to nudge employees. They also discuss the unconscious nature of nudges and the role of leaders in influencing behavior. The episode concludes with a discussion on the Newcastle honesty box study, which demonstrates the power of subtle nudges.
