Compliance and ethics programs are most successful when employees understand how the processes, programs and principles that the company has established fit into their day-to-day work. A lack of understanding of these concepts by employees causes many compliance and ethics programs to fail.

ethicsLINC's approach to process review and design is to focus on an often neglected area in the development of compliance and ethics programs – the translation of the legal requirements or ethics principles into work processes that are relevant to the employees’ specific jobs and then woven into the day-to-day aspects of how they do their work.

Our engagement with your company can begin with a review of the compliance programs you have in place.

• Are the programs consistent with the corporate values identified by senior management?


• Are the programs actually understood by your management team and your employees?


• Are the requirements of these programs actually a part of what your management team and employees do every day?

To the extent that there are disconnects between what you are trying to achieve and how the programs are implemented, ethicsLINC will work with your designated team to better integrate your programs into your organization.

If you don’t have a comprehensive compliance/ethics program in place, ethicsLINC will work with your legal or technical advisors and your team to design the work processes needed to ensure the success of your program.

The translation of compliance and ethics programs into meaningful work processes, and training your employees in ethical decision making are critical aspects in achieving both short and long term success. ethicsLINC's special focus and expertise in these areas significantly raises the likelihood of success for your program.
