The E&C profession’s first people & purpose survey.
Why should the best and brightest professionals seek out careers in the Ethics and Compliance (E&C) profession? What training will they need, and what skills and abilities are most vital to their success today and in the future? Will their experience in E&C help future career advancement into high-level positions outside of E&C?
The best source of answers to these questions are the people working in the E&C profession today.
This report is the product of an unprecedented survey of hundreds of such professionals, and its purpose is to help them take stock personally of their careers, to guide young professionals seeking careers in E&C, and to tell a “coming of age” story of this maturing profession.
This report explores the skills found in E&C professionals today and what skills might be needed in the future.
The survey results presented in this report define the overall makeup of today’s successful E&C practitioners, including:
- The educational breakdown and importance of having a J.D./L.L.M. and other advanced degrees;
- Leadership qualities common among E&C practitioners, including hard and soft skills;
- The most essential roles and functions performed;
- Significant developments most likely to occur in the next 5-10 years in the E&C space; and more.
