Promoting a culture of ethics and compliance is a fundamental component to the success of any organization. Although sometimes difficult to realize, the actual benefit of an ethics and compliance program exists in its ability to reinforce good decision making and ultimately steer us away from trouble. After all, just one mistake can leave you on the wrong side of the law, not to mention the financial drain and damage it can have on your company’s reputation. To create a culture that values ethics and compliance, we must realize a critical component: the buy-in. Simply put, everyone in the organization needs to be on board with the program.
