Several important elements must be taken into account to build companies and workforces that are rich in integrity and have a common set of shared values. One of those elements is to recognise the importance of employees' voices and the fundamental role that communication plays.
A challenge for compliance and HR teams is ensuring alignment with the objectives and goals of the business and showing the value of driving an ethical and compliance culture. HR is tasked with making sure that hiring practices, workplace rules, treatment of employees and a variety of other factors all comply with the relevant laws.
