Conference Overview:
Optimize your compliance program with a “speak up” workplace culture. Building an organizational culture that encourages employee reporting is key to compliance program success. When employees are comfortable voicing compliance and ethics concerns, potential issues can be handled proactively to prevent or minimize reputational and financial consequences down the road. Validating employee reports with appropriate follow-through is also important. It demonstrates that reporting will be taken seriously and is valued. Join us virtually May 30, 2024, for guidance on how to create a safe and supportive reporting environment, effectively manage reports that do come forward, and ensure your helpline and other reporting methods are easy to access and navigate.
