The Price of Integrity: New Research on Retaliation in Compliance (Ethisphere + Case IQ Webcast)
In this webinar created in partnership with Ethisphere, Shannon Walker, founder of WhistleBlower Security, Inc. and Case IQ's EVP of Thought Leadership & Strategy and panel discuss new research on retaliation against compliance officers and the implications of these findings for organizations.
In most organizations, the compliance team is responsible for identifying risk, raising difficult issues to leadership, and promoting an ethical workplace culture. But what happens when protecting the organization's integrity comes at a personal cost to them?
New research from Compliance Week, in conjunction with Case IQ and Radical Compliance, reveals how retaliation against compliance officers can affect careers, compliance programs, and organizational cultures. The study found that nearly 70% of compliance professionals report experiencing retaliation during their careers, and nearly half say fear of retaliation has prevented them from fully raising concerns.
If compliance professionals don’t feel safe speaking up, what does that mean for the rest of the organization? This webinar explores what the report's findings reveal about organizational culture, employee trust, and the effectiveness of compliance programs, while highlighting practical steps leaders can take to strengthen strong, effective, and ethical speak-up cultures.
In this webinar, viewers will:
- Explore new research on how retaliation affects compliance professionals and what it reveals about organizational culture.
- Learn how fear of retaliation can undermine reporting, escalation, and overall program effectiveness.
- Discover actions boards, executives, and compliance leaders can take to foster a culture where concerns are raised and addressed without fear.
