Minneapolis, Minn. --- October 18, 2019 --- Join the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics & Health Care Compliance Association (SCCE & HCCA) and organizations worldwide in the celebration of Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week. Shine a spotlight on the importance of compliance and ethics at your organization and boost your compliance culture.

National Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week began in May 2005 as a way to help members of SCCE & HCCA to increase awareness of compliance and ethics issues at their organizations. It has since grown to an annual event that is celebrated around the world.

“This week gives compliance and ethics professionals the opportunity to show-case their corporate compliance programs, and also provides a chance for their organizations to be part of a larger, global movement,” said Gerry Zack, incoming CEO of SCCE & HCCA.

Many organizations structure their week of activities around the concepts of awareness, recognition, and reinforcement:

• Awareness – Get employees thinking about compliance and ethics. This can be achieved through posters and banners, giveaways, screensavers, articles or blogs in employee communications and more, as well as quizzes, puzzles and challenges to get people engaged.
• Recognition – Launch a new compliance training program, host live training sessions or to recognize individual, department or company-wide successes.
• Reinforcement – Demonstrate that all levels of the organization support a culture of compliance. Plan events and communications that include the CEO or other organizational leaders as compliance advocates.
