You Need the Right Tools.  We have the right tools.

A successful enterprise-wide ethics and compliance program is made up of several components. Developing your company’s policies and codes of conduct and instituting employee education and training programs typically are the first steps. To promote a culture that actively encourages ethical conduct and compliance with the law, you also should:

• Correlate employee education and training data with your history of inquiries, allegations and incidents
• Simplify your intake process by entering records from calls to your helpline, or by directing your call center provider to transmit the records of calls they receive directly into your Ethics Advantage system
• Use surveys to learn whether employees understand and are living by your policies and code of conduct
• Certify on an annual basis that your employees have received and understand the code of conduct
• Encourage disclosure of conflicts of interest and provide a means for key people to certify that they do not have conflicts of interest
• Integrate data from other internal sources, such as HR, Accounting, Sales, Security or any other critical data source

To obtain the most meaningful and actionable information, the tools you select to help you manage this enormous undertaking must seamlessly correlate data from multiple sources ensuring that you capture and analyze as much data as possible.
