How do you define success for your ethics and compliance program?
Strategy and assessment lead to effective ethics and compliance training.
Deploying program elements alone is not enough to create an ethical culture. Working Values will help your company achieve measurable outcomes that will align behaviors with your integrity goals.
Strategy:
Does your organization have a vision of what "integrity" should and needs to look like? Are the goals of the ethics program aligned with that vision? Working Values helps organizations redefine the goals of their ethics and compliance program to meet today's broader objectives and expectations.
We develop and facilitate Integrity Vision Workshops for senior leaders to evaluate integrity risks and develop strategies to build their integrity vision.
Assessment:
Do you know what factors heighten the risk of unethical conduct in your company? Do you have a means to measure progress in closing the gaps?
Ethics Risk Assessment™ — A web-based assessment tool to assess employee attitudes and awareness of critical integrity and antifraud risks as part of a complete ethics program evaluation.
Culture Risk Assessment™ — A web-based assessment that provides an objective snapshot of the values that underlie employee behavior, making it possible to translate qualitative data into quantitative data. The Culture Risk Assessment provides a base-line measurement for monitoring changes in the organizational culture as well as a foundation to proscribe behavioral change that will influence the culture.
Field Work — Focus groups and interviews to evaluate each integrity risk area to determine the level of vulnerability and develop an analysis for the organization to use in setting annual goals, and in designing a customized action plan.
The key to a successful ethics and compliance program is integration. All of the elements must work together to help the company maintain an ethical culture by addressing its most pressing integrity risk factors. In developing an Action Plan, we help you decide which messages and what type of training may be required for all key audiences, including board members and senior leaders, line managers and employees. We advise you as to how to organize the ethics program to maximize effectiveness and engagement for managers and employees.
Working Values will help you create your customized program through a combination of these ready-to-deploy tools, each of which can be deployed as-is or customized to meet your organization's needs:
Integrity Toolkit™ — A comprehensive web-based platform and Learning Management System to support all of the elements of your program, including web and live training as well as online certification.
Living the Code™ — A modular online ethics course which explores what it means to act with integrity, what gets in our way, and the steps we can take to overcome obstacles and put integrity at the heart of all our business decisions. Living the Code helps employees acknowledge the pressures and influences that may cause them to do things they know they shouldn't. Its modular and interactive design dramatizes realistic workplace scenarios and can provide ongoing updates and refresher training on a wide variety of topics.
