Delta Airlines Responds to the Delta Variant

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 the recent move by Delta Airlines to require employees who refuse to be vaccinated to pay a special health care insurance surcharge of $200 to cover the increased health care costs associated with unvaccinated employees who contract Covid-19.

Some of the issues we consider are:

·      What were the underlying facts?
·      How did Delta Airline’s actions follow a risk management protocol?
·      How did Delta’s actions demonstrate a commitment to compliance?
·      How about the data?

·      How about Document Document Document?

Accountability: The Heart of Compliance

Episode 4-Delta Airlines Demonstrates Accountability

We have been getting accountability all wrong in the compliance profession. It’s not a set of tasks – it’s a way of thinking and it has to come from the heart as well as the head. On Accountability: The Heart of Compliance Tom Fox and Sam Silverstein dig into what accountability means to the corporate compliance function and business organizations and most significantly, how to make it an integral part of your culture. In this episode we consider a recent example of accountability in the corporate world, courtesy of Delta Airlines. Some of the highlights include:

  • Accountability means ‘your problem is my problem’.
  • Accountability means keeping your commitment to others.
  • When your organization is accountability to your community it inspires your employees.
  • How accountability informs your core values.
