Great Women in Compliance: Wired Differently: Valued Equally? Rethinking Ethics & Compliance Programs for Our Neurodivergent Workforce

Wired Differently, Valued Equally?

How inclusive are our Ethics & Compliance Programs really?

With an estimated 15 to 20% of the workforce neurodivergent, reaching these employees in ways that matter to them is key to an effective Ethics & Compliance Program.

Hosts Lisa Fine and Ellen M. Hunt welcome Nicole Di Schino and Megan Zwiebel to a roundtable discussion on how we should think about Ethics & Compliance Programs for our neurodivergent workforce. They explored how organizations can make compliance training, speak-up channels, and investigations more accessible to neurodivergent employees.

They also talked about how these workers may be more vulnerable to being labeled a performance problem and subject to bullying when what might really be going on is that they just work differently than others.

Discover practical ways to reduce barriers, recognize subtle workplace bullying, improve investigative fairness, and build a more effective Ethics & Compliance Program that works for everyone—not just those who think, learn, and communicate the same way.

Megan Zwiebel – Data, Behavioral Science and the Compliance Function

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

In this episode of Great Women in Compliance, Lisa speaks with Megan Zwiebel, who is Director of Operations & Delivery at R&G Insights Lab, which is an analytics and behavioral science practice, affiliated with the law firm Ropes & Gray. Megan started her career at a large law firm at a litigator, and used her natural curiosity and skill set to move into journalism, and now into her current role, where she and the team are helping to build innovative and practical solutions for organizations and legal practices in using data and science.

In this discussion, Megan talks about how the R&G Insights Lab compliments traditional law firm work, and how it is different, with respect to supporting E&C programs. She talks about the importance of “telling the story,” and how we can best use these tools to build our programs and to work cross-functionally.

Like Lisa, Megan started her career at a large law firm, and they discuss some of their similar and different experiences in those first jobs, and how that impacted their work and career trajectories. She shares some of the law firm evolution she has seen, and how women in leadership is inspiring and impacts law firm culture.
