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. This week Matt and Tom take a deep dive into Venn Diagrams to consider the questions of who sets corporate values. Some of the issues we consider are:

• What happens when management dictates a corp value?
• What happens when that value is disputed by employees?
• What happens when the regulators come knocking?
• How does social media play into all this?
• How can you assess your risk?
• What is the role of compliance?

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 podcast Matt Kelly and Tom Fox take a deep dive into how business leaders can demonstrate values during times of difficulty, specifically when the CEO of Airbnb was required to layoff nearly 25% of the company’s workforce.
Some of the highlights include:

• How can tone at the top be so critical during the coronavirus health crisis and economic dislocation?
• Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky’s communication to employees.
• How does clarity and certainty in Brian Chesky’s letter help make the layoffs more palatable?
• Why are personal meetings so critical?
• Why is dignity to a RIF’d employee so critical?
• What can the compliance professional learn from this experience?
• How (and why) was the Weight Watchers massive layoff so different?
