Compliance into the Weeds: Episode 130- Corrosive Subcultures

Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. In this episode, Matt Kelly (the coolest guy in compliance) and I take a deep dive into employees of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection who operated a closed Facebook group, replete with racist, sexist posts about migrants and Democratic politicians. For corporate compliance and governance professionals who think about the challenges of building a strong corporate culture, the mess at CBP offers a cautionary tale about the corrosive nature of subcultures.    Some of the highlights include: Ø Why are subcultures so corrosive?Ø What is Metcalfe’s Law and how does it apply here?Ø What is corporate culture v. subcultures?Ø How does an organization fight the growth of subcultures?Ø What is the role of the CCO?Ø Is all this simply protected speech?
