Ease: Why the Right Thing to do Should Also Be the Easiest
We’ve discussed accountability and why it helps your corporate compliance program succeed. We covered clarity and how a clear and simple to understand compliance training program results in an engaged workforce. Now let’s look at what you get out of making compliance easy.
One of the goals of your workforce compliance program should be to make the right thing to do also the easiest. When the path is clear and your workforce is both educated and supported, compliance comes naturally.
The ideal path to compliance is filled with ease (that is, everyone simply follows the rules.) But when we look at why the rules were made it’s usually because someone didn’t follow the previous ones.
With that in mind I set out to write an article about compliance wins. But we had a hard time finding articles that touted successes of compliance programs, so much is written about failure. Instead we gathered articles about working towards success. I want to join Nicole Rose in her plea for stories about compliance wins, or as she calls it “Chicken Soup for the Compliance Soul.”
We wrote a great white paper on using Accountability, Clarity, and Ease to set the tone for your corporate compliance program. Check it out!
