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 people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives and applies 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, host Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman discuss the often-overlooked basics of creating an effective compliance program.
We emphasize the importance of being proactive and preventative, as reinforced by recent DOJ guidance. The focus shifts from complex compliance issues to more practical and efficient solutions that can be integrated into daily operations. One key point is reevaluating the traditional annual training approach, which often fails to efficiently engage employees and mitigate risks. Instead, the conversation centers around constant and regular communication, such as nudge learning and embedding compliance messages within the organization’s culture, to keep compliance in mind and foster a more compliant workplace environment.
Key highlights:
- Introduction to Compliance Program Effectiveness
- The Ineffectiveness of Traditional Training
- Strategies for Efficient Compliance Programs
- Embedding Compliance into Organizational Culture
- Hill Street Blues and Compliance
