About this Episode

In this HR in Review episode, Bill Banham talks with Scott Lane, Founder and CEO of Speeki. They discuss the growing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues, as well as compliance, and how businesses can better integrate these into their operations. Scott also shares insights into how compliance reporting platforms can ease the load and provide valuable insights.

Guest: Scott Lane
Scott Lane is the Founder and CEO of Speeki, an innovative platform transforming compliance in the governance, anti-corruption, and ESG sectors. With over 20 years of experience, Scott has helped thousands of clients build and manage compliance programs across 100 countries.

Questions for Scott Include:

  • Your focus is on ESG initiatives. Can you talk us through the landscape of ESG and what it means to the layperson?
  • How can we build companies and workforces rich in integrity and with a common set of shared values?
  • How can leaders get employee buy-in for ESG initiatives?
  • Last year, Speeki surveyed global compliance officers about the ‘value’ of compliance to a business. The survey found that only 20% of participants effectively map compliance against business goals. What can happen when goals are not mapped properly?
  • How can companies create an ecosystem where people feel comfortable raising issues without fear of retaliation?
  • What are your top tips for using a compliance reporting platform to drive value?
