Employee Trust and Compliance

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. Last week we considered the SEC regulations requiring companies to detail human capital issues in their annual reports and what it meant for compliance. This led to a week-long dialogue between Matt and myself about the current state of employee trust and its role in corporate culture and a best practices compliance and ethics program.    Some of the issues we consider are: Trust is down. The now former UK KPMG Chairman who told employees to ‘quit whining’ about the Coronavirus health crisis issue. Employees are under more pressure to deliver results. What does this do to trust? Employee to employee trust issues in WFH. Trust issues around RTW, both employee to employee and management response to employee health and safety issues at the workplace. Benjamin Moore getting rid of legal department and then restricting employee access to legal assistance. Greater fear toward retaliation stopping whistleblowers from coming forward.  Resources Matt’s blog post in Radical Compliance: Corporate Culture and Human Capital Disclosures  Tom’s blog posts on the FCPA Compliance and Ethics Blog: A Macro Approach for Human Capital Compliance Hal Holbrook, Mark Twain and Employee Trust How to Destroy Employee Trust Leadership Lessons from Abraham Lincoln Learn more about your ad choices.
