The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject more fully. Are you looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this Compliance into the Weeds episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly review the recently released 2025 E&C Program Effectiveness Report (Report) from LRN and deeply dive into its findings of a disconnect between top management and employees on ethics and compliance.

Tom and Matt examine the significant findings of the LRN survey conducted among over 1,500 ethics and compliance professionals, which formed the basis for the 2025 Report. They emphasize the widening perception gap about corporate ethical culture between senior executives and lower-level employees and discuss the importance of transparency, consistent disciplinary measures, and engagement of frontline employees to bridge this divide. Matt and Tom also address compliance officers’ challenges in assessing their organizations’ ethical culture and suggest practical steps for fostering a more cohesive environment.
