- Your focus is on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives, can you talk us through the landscape of ESG and what it means to the layperson?
- How can we begin to 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 to assess what their thoughts were on the ‘value’ of compliance to a business. The survey found that only around 20% of participants effectively map against business goals, with the remaining 80% attempting to align their goals with the business but doing so poorly. What can happen to performance when goals are not mapped against the business correctly or even at all?
- How can companies build an ecosystem where people feel comfortable raising issues without fear of retaliation?
- What are some of your top tips for using a compliance reporting platform to drive value?
