Speaking Engagements

Co-presented by ELI President Stephen M. Paskoff, Esq., and Randy Stephens, Esq., Senior Director of Internal Audit and Compliance with The Home Depot, this session will discuss the compliance professional’s role in ensuring the organization operates not just by the law but by its own stated values. By highlighting the business risks of a range of inappropriate behaviors – whether they violate compliance regulations or not – the presenters will reveal the pitfalls of focusing training and communication initiatives too narrowly on only maintaining compliance with the law. Attendees will gain a broader understanding of the types of inappropriate behavior that can create harm, the role of leaders in operationalizing the values, and the components of an effective values-based initiative – including educational content, learning techniques, and skills necessary to motivate behavior change and create a values-driven culture.
