Ethics Communication Tools - The Ethics Communication Coach (ECC)

Organizations that implement programs to prevent and detect violations of law can become eligible for significant reductions in penalties if they have developed a compliance program prior to their offenses. The revised US Federal Sentencing Guidelines require organizations to “promote an organizational culture that encourages a commitment to compliance.”

The Solution:

The Ethics Communication Center (ECC) is the only solution of its kind in the industry today. It provides the E&C team with a ready-to-implement library of more than 2,000 communication and training tools that cover 60 ethics topics, all available online at www.eccmember.com. Since 1999, the Ethics Communication Coach (ECC) has put thousands of ethics training and communication tools at the fingertips of ethics officers around the globe, helping them to launch and sustain an effective ongoing ethics training program.

And each quarter ECC subscribers receive a new set of relevant, well-researched materials that address current and emerging issues, such as social media and EU privacy.
