In the context of initial employee orientation, it is not uncommon for the compliance function to partner with the People or Human Resources team to lead new employee induction. This allows senior compliance officials to articulate the organization’s ethical expectations up front, and perhaps most importantly, give the compliance function both a face and a name.
Empirical and anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that these initial outreach efforts are key differentiators between companies that pay lip service to compliance, and organizations that are indeed “compliance-conscious.”
