KNOWLEDGESHARING

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.

TOOLBOX

This knowledge table has also  developed and is managing a Behaviour & Culture Toolbox, with various tips, methods and example interventions to give concrete shape to attention to behaviour and culture in organisations. This Toolbox is periodically evaluated and supplemented with new tools. Check it out here. If you have any questions or tips in response to this, please contact us by email info@vco.nl or via one of the knowledge table members.

FINALLY

The Behaviour & Culture knowledge table meets monthly to share experiences and new insights. Relevant articles and publications are also regularly shared via the group app and the conversation is initiated with compliance and integrity professionals outside their own knowledge table. And research is done into issues that exist, such as the research into the relationship between the compliance professional and the Supervisory Board.
