JUNE 23 | Best Practice Forum | Embedding E&C in the Business through Ethics Liaisons

Ethics and Compliance can benefit from identifying and leveraging key influencers in the business. An Ethics Liaison is typically an employee or leader that is identified in the business to serve as an advocate for ethical values and compliance with laws and regulations. Whether referred to as Ethics Ambassadors, Compliance Champions, Business Ethics Practitioners or other titles, the role takes the form of a wide variety of responsibilities from serving as a subject matter resource for other employees and leaders to facilitating ethics training and other activities traditionally performed by E&C program staff. In ECI’s June Forum you’ll learn best practices from successful ethics liaison programs related to identifying participants, training them for their roles, and measuring outcomes.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The benefits of having an Ethics Ambassador network (ethics beyond the Ethics Office)
  • How to select, onboard and provide ongoing support to the best candidates (skills, materials, training, touch points)
  • How to adapt your program if you operate in many countries (localization, translations)

 

3:30 pm – 4:00 pm EDT: Following the 90-minute Best Practice Forum, attendees are invited to join speakers in a Zoom room for a post-BPF “Interchange” and further discuss the BPF content, ask follow-up questions and share thoughts and insights. Please note: the Interchange will not be recorded.

The event is finished.
