To Incentivize or Not? New Perspectives on How to Strengthen Company-Wide Ethics & Compliance Buy-In, Corporate Messaging and Training Without the “Stick”
Brita JohnsonChief Compliance Officer Ecolab
Megan KistlerDirector, Government Investigations & Special MattersUber Former Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Department of Justice
Rachel SamperVP & Deputy General Counsel, Global Trade and Compliance The Estée Lauder Companies
Adam WolfHead of Global Advisory and Americas Region, Global Anti-Bribery and Corruption Department MUFG
Organizations are increasingly shifting away from punitive measures and focusing on positive reinforcement to strengthen company-wide ethics and compliance buy-in. Rather than relying on the “stick” approach, which emphasizes punishment for non-compliance, companies are exploring ways to motivate employees through incentives, intrinsic rewards, and fostering a culture of accountability.
That said, there is a concern that the pause put on FCPA enforcement could serve as an obstacle to sustaining a strong culture of compliance.
During this panel, we will explore:
- Rewarding ethical behavior through recognition programs, career advancement opportunities, and intrinsic rewards that align with employees’ values and motivations
- Modeling ethical behavior and creating a transparent environment where employees feel safe discussing ethical concerns and are encouraged to do the right thing
- Moving away from one-time, generic compliance training toward continuous, interactive, and scenario-based learning that employees find engaging and applicable to their roles
- Aligning ethics and compliance initiatives with the company’s mission and values to create a natural connection between doing the right thing and the company’s broader goals
