Compliance Communications Workplace policies and communications that can reduce violations and boost compliance staff efficiency Compliance with gift, ethics, and other policies has never been more important than now. Yet few employees see it as a key part of their job Ñ and few firms have succeeded in changing that perception. The result is needless technical violations (all of which must be logged, reviewed, and reported), as well as a significant loss of staff time in providing remedial Òhelp deskÓ services for employees. Compliance communications can be a highly cost-efficient way to improve the health and effectiveness of compliance programs. They can reduce the Òwhite noiseÓ of minor violations, freeing staff to focus on truly significant concerns. They can help create an environment where intentional violations are more strongly discouraged and are more easily detected if they do occur. Elements of a compliance communications program can include: ¥ workplace policies that let employees quickly find the answers they seek ¥ workplace communications that deliver compliance messages in a way that makes them relevant and engaging and wins acceptance among employees ¥ employee training on compliance topics Our unique combination of marketing expertise and in-depth knowledge of compliance issues allows us to create programs that are both customized and effective.
