    Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection - they all take creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the Compliance Podcast Network.

    • To create a Speak Up / Listen Up culture, involving leadership is key. Being entertaining and creative helps to extend your influence.
    • Providing leadership with simple, short and entertaining training and communication content makes it more likely that they'll carry these important messages forward.
    • Utilize leaders in training and communications content. Have them tell stories about integrity. Utilize them in talk shows and podcasts. Give them simple tag lines to repeat. Make it simple and fun!
    • Provide training and resources for your leaders so they are more prepared to support their teams when employees do Speak Up. Improv training is a fun way to involve them and give them practical skills.

    • Debunking Comedy & Compliance Concerns

      Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection - they all take creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the Compliance Podcast Network. In this episode, Tom and Ronnie look at the common objections to using comedy in compliance training and communications and debunk them all. 

      • Well, we're a conservative company
      • We don't do humor here or we tried humor once and it didn't work
      • Employees already get tons of communications, so we don't have an appetite for more compliance communications.
      • We need to focus on our core training first
      • We're global so humor doesn't work

              • Creative Comms During WFH

                Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection - they all take creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the Compliance Podcast Network. In this show, we visit about how and why corp compliance functions need to have more effective communications during the work from home environment. Some of the highlights include: 

                The Problem

                • People are disconnected - lose connection and trust
                • One of the main influences on behavior is peer pressure/group think. If you lose connection with colleagues, it's easy to start thinking "everybody's doing it" kind of thing.
                • It's easy to think that leadership doesn't care
                • They may feel invisible, i.e., no one will know about their bad behavior.
                • It's hard to get airtime on comms channels
                • People are multitasking more than ever

                  • There are also new risks - privacy, gifts, etc.
                  • It's sometimes harder to do the right thing. Resources are not as readily available.
                  • Creative Comms Can Help

                    • Need to find ways to increase your visibility
                    • Short commercials advertising resources - doesn't take a lot of time.
                    • Provide to leaders to play prior to zoom meetings
                    • Embed on intranet and newsletters
                    • Embed in other departments trainings and newsletter
                    • Commercial
                    • Integrity Themed Talk Shows - showing your people talking about the issues and challenges...but not a talking head video
                    • Needs to be interesting to stand out and needs to be interesting so others will carry the message on your behalf
