Untangled - Simplifying Corporate Compliance
What happens when four compliance and ethics professionals get together virtually during a pandemic lockdown? They discuss the trials and tribulations of their roles, their daily experiences, and all the challenges faced in attempting to build effective compliance and ethics programmes in the pharmaceutical sector. Taking the complex world of compliance, the regulated environment of lifesciences and the confusing world of human behaviour, this podcast aims to distil the daily challenges into simple ideas that can be practically implemented, no matter the size, location or culture of the company in question.

Welcome back to Untangled, the podcast that takes the complex world of compliance and simplifies it.
The topic for today chat is "speak up culture" - probably the most forgotten element that has largely been about checking a regulatory box for years. When ‘speak up’ programs were first implemented, the most popular method of capturing incident reports from employees was a literal telephone hotline, and many companies still utilize that (one may argue archaic) terminology and philosophy.
So the question I would pose to my contributors today - what's your best tip to helping build a true "speak up" culture?
