Behavior & culture

Compliance is often associated with laws and regulations. However, this is not the core of the compliance profession. Laws and regulations are not an end in themselves, but an important tool to promote ethical conduct and an ethical organizational culture. They provide frameworks for shaping policy and a foundation for steering and supervision. But in the end, it’s about the people who work in organizations and to what extent they are supported to do the right thing. On the one hand, through clear policies, translated into clear and workable procedures and work instructions. On the other hand, the right exemplary behaviour of management, carefully considered decisions and attention to dilemmas.

The Behaviour & Culture knowledge table contributes to knowledge development and knowledge sharing about behaviour and culture in organisations, relevant to people working in a Compliance or Integrity department. People in a managerial position or who have to deal with integrity issues in some other way can also benefit from the information. The knowledge table does this by means of inspiration sessions, workshops, publications, intervision and other ways of developing ideas around norms, values, behaviour and culture within organizations. This includes topics such as behaviour and culture in the SIRA, stimulating a safe work environment, cooperation between compliance and accountants in the field of behaviour and culture, and dealing with dilemmas in organisations.
