In order to survive and thrive, companies must make sure they are complying with the regulations that they set or have been set for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means not just legal regulations that all companies in the sector must follow, but also the guidelines the company has established for itself. Once the compliance plan takes into account the relevant regulations and legislation (by country and by sector), it\u2019s good practice to throw business ethics into the mix as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why is it important to cover ethics in compliance training?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most, if not all, companies have specific operating systems that can be broken down into management and development processes, whether they\u2019re well-defined or not. Within their system, disruptive companies show a commitment to innovation by making sure their compliance training plan guarantees:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Worker safety and health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brand promise<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A code of ethics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance with relevant legislation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear internal organization.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combining these elements allows companies to build a corporate identity based on a solid reputation and industry success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not just about objectives or goals, it\u2019s also important to ensure the process of achieving these results is respected. Therein lies the importance of establishing detailed standards relating to business ethics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to cover the subject of ethics<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Assess the risks and opportunities\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In any training plan, a number of vulnerabilities and strengths exist that could and should be evaluated ahead of time. Running a SWOT analysis will give you an idea of what aspects could be changed or developed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be able to see if any company policies should be changed or even, in some cases, scratched to start over.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Define the guiding principles of your business<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company\u2019s culture is heavily defined by its Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. That\u2019s where ethical guidelines &#8211;and the consequences of acting outside of them&#8211; are determined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the most common principles of ethics are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loyalty<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quality<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellence<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sustainability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respect<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respecting human rights<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Particular attention should be paid to this process in order to best determine which ethical pillars that will be highlighted in the company&#8217;s compliance plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Set up a compliance plan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The compliance plan can only begin to take shape once you have the guiding principles of the company clearly in place. To do so, you\u2019ll have to take all regulatory criteria into account from the proposal stage all the way to implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, the main purpose is to define and shore up your company\u2019s ethical culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Clearly define what implementation will look like<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every company communicates with its employees in a different way, so you\u2019ll be the best judge of how to do it in a way that makes sense for yours. The important thing is for all employees to be in the loop. They should all receive uniform information before starting the compliance plan, as well as regular, top-down communication once it\u2019s underway.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Train your employees<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your employees must have the correct know-how to implement and stick to the company&#8217;s compliance plan. High-quality training is the best option for making sure every employee has what they need and is on the same page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often times, the term \u201ccompliance\u201d brings up images of boring theoretical concepts and rote memorization. It\u2019s no surprise that it\u2019s one of the training topics that employees least enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it\u2019s not written in stone that compliance training must be boring. In fact, it can be engaging, and even fun, if you choose the right training approach. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.game-learn.com\/en\/resources\/blog\/dkv-seguros-spices-up-compliance-training-with-a-serious-game\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DKV Seguros opted for game-based learning<\/a> for its companywide compliance training, which included the company&#8217;s code of ethics, and saw the following results:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90% completion rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">98.6% recommendation rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased employee engagement<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A change in the company mindset towards this type of training<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Conduct research into the internal results<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the system for managing ethical regulations is put in place, then you can make sure companywide compliance is being met.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company\u2019s ethical and cultural tenets can be seen on a daily basis, so it is important to measure other related processes as well, from training results to uniform compliance with company guidelines. A verification system such as this allows companies to analyze their approaches and see what\u2019s working and what isn\u2019t.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this reason, it\u2019s also a good idea to organize follow-up meetings with team managers to discuss possible points of improvement and give feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, ethics is a necessary component in a thorough compliance training plan. It allows the company to adapt and adhere to new regulations- both external (government legislation, occupational risk management standards, etc.) and internal ( a company\u2019s own code of ethics and conduct.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The idea of compliance training has become a cornerstone in the corporate sector and all signs point to it being here to stay.
