From the first time they tell someone about their great new job as a “Compliance Officer” – and get the puzzled look and almost inevitable question “What’s that?”- COs realize that a BIG part of their role is communication.

They also quickly learn that there are both internal and external barriers to effective communication of the organization’s message about “doing the right thing.” There are multiple audiences, with different priorities and varying education levels. Communication about compliance takes persistence, creativity and now and then a bit of luck.

This page and the ones linked to it are designed to share resources about communicating on topics relevant to most compliance efforts, no matter what the size of the organization or what its business is. They are shared as jumping off points. But “jumping” is easier with the knowledge that you aren’t the first or alone.

Communication Topics:

• Awareness Activities

• Awards

• Branding

• Compliance and or Ethics / Day / Week

• Hotlines

• Speaking Up

• Taglines, Mnemonics and Mottos

• *Tone*
