It all starts by believing that conducting the business right way and doing things ethically good will lead you to success.
Every organisation must have a Compliance goal, a goal that should always be supplementing the overall organisational strategy, mission and vision. Compliance functions should have an understanding that how they are contributing to the overall Company’s objective. By simply understanding your role in the bigger picture, you can ensure better business partnering and your inputs would become a lot more valuable. Start by having a Compliance statement and by demonstrating within your organisation the tone at the top. Ask leaders to send out reinforcing statements that why Compliance is important and what could happen if we do not comply. You can also train and educate your employees by face to face learning sessions or through some online courses designed for ensuring the same.
Develop in-house programs and distribute awareness materials like Compliance policies, conflict of interest declarations, Code of conduct documents, Training presentations etc. Always remember that employees are the eyes and ears for the Compliance function, the better trained they are easier it would be to ensure Compliance. Encourage them to go do the right thing and provide protection.
