This interactive webinar will give you a live, guided demo of ELT’s online Ethics & Code of Conduct training program, discuss the laws that mandate training, and provide a practical overview of best training practices. Online ethics training programs have become critical to many organization’s compliance and risk management strategies. Legal mandates over the past decade have significantly reduced fines and penalties for organizations that train employees on their Code. The regulatory environment continues intensify, demanding increased accountability and transparency from employers. More than ever, organizations have a strong incentive to build both an ethical culture and effective compliance programs – to reduce risk, to avoid litigation, to build defenses and to create tangible value. Enterprise-wide employee education is central to this effort.

Editor's Notes
- While the Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to publicly traded companies, the rules and guidelines that it established are being widely adopted by privately held companies for three reasons: Sarbanes-Oxley standards make for good business practice, adding value beyond simple "check the box" compliance. Many of the Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, can help to substantially mitigate risk and liability for privately held organizations; Sarbanes-Oxley type legislation is expected in the near future for privately held organizations. Leading employers are recognizing the opportunity to stay ahead of the compliance curve; and Many private companies become public companies!
- On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and its sweeping financial regulatory reforms. Included among the provisions is a new whistleblower program which provides substantial cash rewards for whistleblowers who voluntarily provide information to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) leading to the successful prosecution of securities law violations. Whistleblowers who report securities violations, including violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), that result in monetary sanctions greater than $1 million, may receive between 10 and 30 percent of the total recovery. The whistleblower provision also provides anti-retaliation protections, which permit civil causes of action for wrongful termination, suspension, harassment, or other discrimination because of the whistleblower’s reporting to the SEC. If successful, an anti-retaliation claim can result in reinstatement of seniority, two times the amount of back pay otherwise owed with interest, and compensation for litigation costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorney’s fees. It is more important than ever that your organization should maintain effective internal reporting systems that offer employees an effective avenue by which to report their complaints to reduce the risk of employees reporting merely suspicious activity to the DOJ/SEC rather than through your internal complaint procedures, Employees should know where to go and who to report to reporting procedures, and made confident that their concerns will be taken seriously and adequately investigated.
- This course is brand new, just released. It uses an entirely new modular design and all new content. We are very excited to show it to you.
- Now lets turn our attention to the course itself. The Course features two different, but complimentary learning experiences. It starts with a News Story, very much in the style of CNN or Fox News or 60 Minutes. This part of the course features digital video and follows an individual managers as she makes an ethical misstep. We see how the misstep develops and the consequences for her, her fellow employees and the organization. The second part of the course is called the Digital Library. This part of the course is modular and presents learners with concise 5-7 minutes training topics – and as we will see – we give you the ability to choose which topics go into the course.
- Now on the Digital Library. This part of the course presents 5-7 minute topics on a variety of key compliance topics. These are designed to give your learners a basic understanding of the compliance topics and why they matter to the learner and your organization. The best part though is that this part of the course is totally modular. We created a library of 33 of these topics and allow you to pick and choose which are included in the course.
- Here we see the topics in the library. As you can see, they cover virtually all of the key compliance challenges organizations like yours face. Let me show you how the Digital Library works.
- Here we see a portion of the library for illustration. The library works like a menu.
- You tell us which topics you want to include in the course. If Antitrust is important to your organization, include it. If FCPA is not important, do not include it.
- We take the topics you select and we place in the Digital Library portion of the course. This means your learners will see only the topics you select.
- Finally, you can also change the topics over time – to address new compliance challenges as they emerge. You can also create different course versions. Here the course version on the left presents more topics – perhaps appropriate for your managers. The version on the right presents a smaller number of topics – perhaps appropriate for employees. You can see the flexibility in this course.
- Here you can see a schematic of the course’s architecture from 10,000 feet.
- E&COC training impacts the entire organization, in every way. To be successful, everyone must be “on board” Managing “buy in” can be difficult and tedious. One central project owner is essential. This is typically legal. A top down directive correlates directly with higher completion rates and better feedback on the training. (With e-learning, a custom, multi-media introduction is very powerful to communicate the directive.) Training on the Code should not be optional. Completion rates are abysmal for optional training – particularly optional compliance training. (ELT has statistics that validate this explicitly based on our 500+ clients and 1,000,000+ learners.) Having the training be optional also sends the wrong message about the importance of adherence to the Code.
