Code and Policy Review


When employees read your organization’s Code of Conduct and other operational policies they will understand what is expected of them and have the confidence in knowing their peers, superiors and subordinates are being held to those same standards.

The Most Important Document in Your Ethics and Compliance Program

A well-written, effective Code of Conduct captures the spirit of the organization and the values shared by all levels of employees.  It defines “who” the organization is and how it conducts business with stakeholders, as well as provides answers to specific questions and offers real-life examples.

Assessing, Developing and Promoting Your Code of Conduct

The nationally-recognized expert advisors at Global Compliance, the power behind EthicsLine, have unmatched experience in the assessment and development of Codes of Conduct that add organizational value because they are consistent with values and executed in a way that employees can believe and understand.

A Code of Conduct Review includes:
  • Review and assessment of an existing Code to determine adequacy
  • Modification and updating of an existing Code to ensure effectiveness and comprehensiveness for all levels of employees and stakeholders
  • Development of a new Code to define organizational values, policies and expected behavior
  • Production, distribution and coordinated launch of the Code to provide information to employees, vendors, agents, the Board of Directors and other stakeholders
  • Ongoing awareness and education campaigns to drive understanding and retention and, ultimately, to impact behavior
  • Certification of receipt, understanding and intent to comply with the Code by all employees and relevant stakeholders
  • Disclosure of non-compliance with Code to enable documentation and management review of exceptions
