Great Women in Compliance-Lauren Camilli on Compliance and Global Humanitarian Aid

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to work in a compliance program where you are also trying help those in most need all over the world?  Where your first concern in an investigation is to ensure the safety of the investigator and witnesses?
In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa talked with Lauren Camilli, the Vice President, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary, and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer at Blumont, which is an international relief organization which supports infrastructure development and provides humanitarian aid globally.  Part of Blumont’s role is also to support and protect women in countries where women are most vulnerable.  Lauren talks about her transition from compliance in the defense industry to her current role, her “paradigm shift,” and the difference between most compliance roles and the non-profits.  She also provides some information about how those of us in traditional corporate compliance programs can support non-profit and other programs.

Compliance into the Weeds: Episode 131-Compliance Training

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. In this episode, Matt Kelly (the coolest guy in compliance) and I go into the weeds to explore Matt’s observations on compliance training. While traveling cross-country with the family for a well-earned vacation he paid close attention to the safety training video. We used that as a starting point for a deep dive into compliance training and communications.
Some of the highlights include:

  • What are some fresh takes on compliance training?
  • How do you implement both effective and tailored training?
  • Is your training procedural? Ethical? Systemic?
  • Do you want your employees to follow procedures or standards of behavior?
  • Employees need to feel like there is someone listening.
  • What is the role of ongoing communications in training?
