Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.
Today’s episode is a “ripped from the headlines” one, where Ellen Hunt joins GWIC talk about some of the recent events of the last couple of weeks that put a light on raising concerns, whistleblowing and retaliation.  Ellen is Vice President ~ Compliance Program Operations & Chief Privacy Officer at LifePoint Health, and a leader, sponsor and advocate for everyone in the ethics and compliance space.
In this discussion, Lisa and Ellen discuss some of the recent developments in the ActiVision/Blizzard fallout from the lawsuit, and the report that came out about Governor Andrew Cuomo last week.  Lisa and Ellen reflect on the reaction of the ActiVision leadership, and how we as compliance officers can best address these kinds of issues.  More deeply, they reflect on how to balance all our work to build a speak up culture with the need to protect those who raise concerns.  They talk specifically about the fear of retaliation.
They try to identify the problems that are in the spotlight right now and Ellen in particular provides her insight into some solutions of how we in the E&C community can do better.  Our profession, and the GWIC community, is based on supporting ethical decision making, so we are so grateful to Ellen to speaking and being so candid on this difficult topic.
