Ellen Hunt with the 2023 Hunt Report

Great Women in Compliance

If CEOs have Larry Fink's Annual Letter to CEOs, then Lisa has Ellen Hunt's "Hunt Report." Ellen is Principal Consultant Advisor at Spark Compliance and is well known as a mentor and advocate to many in the E&C community.

Ellen has finished her first year as a "Sparkie," and will update us on how that is going and what she is seeing and learning through her work. For the past few years, Lisa and Ellen have talked about retaliation and what we can do better to protect people who raise concerns and those who are witnesses in investigations. While we have seen some improvements, there is still a long way to go. They also look at this in light of organizational justice and our workplaces.

They also continue the discussions of the past few weeks about kindness, fairness and equality, and how these impact our programs. This can impact how we collaborate with DEI and ESG teams, to ensure ethical workplaces.

One other way you can improve your workplace is with employee recognition, and Mary's "Living Your Best Compliance Life" column at Corporate Compliance Insights can provide some great insights on the benefits of doing so and some ideas that can brighten someone's day.
