Welcome to a special five-part podcast series on compliance insights, sponsored by Traliant. Over this series, we will discuss key issues that Traliant is helping to lead and define the online training industry in going forward. Over this five part series I will visit with John Arendes, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at the company on what is new at New Traliant and what the Department of Justice (DOJ) has communicated to the compliance community regarding its expectations around online training and communications; Maggie Smith, Vice President of Human Resources at Traliant on the role of DEI in your corporate ESG program; and Scott Schneider, Head of Content Development at Traliant on your Code of Conduct and anti-corruption training. In this Episode 2, I visit with John Arendes on DOJ communications around its expectations for training. Highlights include:
- In DAG Lisa Monaco’s October 2021 speech, she said the DOJ would focus on corporate culture as a key indicia of compliance.
- The DOJ has made clear that while longer form online training is satisfactory, they expect companies to develop short, direct compliance training for employees.
- Since the release of the Evaluation of Effective Compliance Programs, the DOJ has mandated, effective and targeted compliance training.
