Welcome to a special podcast series on the Compliance Podcast Network, 31 Days to a More Effective Compliance Program. Over these 31 days of the series in January 2025, Tom will post a key part of a best practices compliance program daily. By the end of January, you will have enough information to create, design, or enhance a compliance program. Each podcast will be 6-8 minutes short, with three key takeaways you can implement at little or no cost to help update your compliance program. I hope you will join us each day in January for this exploration of best practices in compliance.
In today’s episode, we delve into the evolution and importance of employee compliance training, focusing on fostering a culture of compliance within organizations. We discuss key guidelines from the FCPA Resource Guide 2nd Edition and subsequent updates from the DOJ and SEC, emphasizing the necessity of effectively communicating and tailoring training programs to an organization’s specific audience. Critical aspects include the importance of training in local languages, assessing the risk profile of employees, and ensuring senior management’s participation. Furthermore, we explore the concept of ‘espresso shots’ or concise training segments to enhance learning and retention. Metrics such as increased hotline use and survey feedback are essential for evaluating the effectiveness of compliance programs.

- Evolution of Compliance Training Standards
