FCPA Compliance Report: Evie Wentink on Making Compliance Training Practical

Welcome to the award-winning FCPA Compliance Report, the longest running podcast in compliance.

In this edition of the FCPA Compliance Report,  Tom Fox has a fascinating visit with Iveta (Evie) Wentink, a 15-year compliance veteran. Evie has worked in the public and private sectors and has expertise in compliance training, hotlines, government contract compliance, data privacy, reporting, & due diligence.

Evie has one of the most unique opening lines for hotline training, which is ‘Do You Know Your Hotline Number?” This simple yet incredibly important question encapsulates Evie’s approach to compliance training: make it simple, direct, and practical for the listeners. (Or, as Carsten Tams would say, ‘It’s all about the UX’).

Our conversation focuses on the critical role of hotline numbers in corporate compliance programs, emphasizing the need for employees to know and trust the hotline. Evie shares insights from her career, highlights the significance of marketing compliance hotlines effectively, and discusses the broader culture of compliance and non-retaliation in organizations. She shares practical tips for improving hotline awareness and usage, making this episode a valuable resource for compliance professionals and organizations alike.

Highlights in this Episode:

  • Enhancing Trust through Active Compliance Reporting
  • Promoting Reporting Culture Through Creative Marketing

Making Compliance Training Memorable: Gamechanger 4 – Make Learning Playful

There is not much I enjoy more than sitting down with one of the innovative thinkers in compliance, Carsten Tams to find out what is on his mind regarding compliance. Tom Fox recently had the opportunity to do so on the topic of making compliance training memorable. Over this short, five-part series, we will introduce the problem and challenges and then provide you with four proven strategies for success in your compliance training.

In this concluding Episode 5, we discuss how making ethics and compliance training playful can enhance learning.

Our learning brain likes games. When people shift into a playful state of mind, they immerse themselves more deeply into the learning activity. Their mood brightens, their mind opens up, and they are intensely focused and more receptive to new information. Playful learning supports a deeper understanding of concepts, better recall of knowledge, and better transfer of skills to novel problems.

They explore the concept of the ‘Magic Circle’ in gaming, which engenders an immersive, playful state of mind that fosters openness and engagement. By employing game-based learning experiences like the ‘Ethics Kit Find Your Path’ card game, the discussion showcases how ethical scenarios can be addressed in an interactive, fun way.

Through the use of commitment, action, and resource cards, employees engage in collaborative problem-solving related to their organization’s ethical dilemmas. The episode emphasizes the importance of experiential, social, and strength-based learning, arguing that an engaging user experience (UX) in training not only makes learning enjoyable but also more effective in reinforcing ethical behaviors within organizations.

Highlights and Key Issues Discussed:

  • Introducing Playful Learning in Ethics and Compliance
  • The Magic Circle: A Concept for Playful Learning
  • Implementing Playful Learning: The Ethics Kit Card Game
  • Benefits and Outcomes of Playful Learning Experiences
  • Expanding Playfulness Beyond Games: Engaging Training Delivery
  • Key Takeaways from the Series
