Notable Quotes:

“But you take a little bit different approach, and you help clients think about the ongoing part of ongoing communications. And frankly, I’ve never met anyone who talked about that approach.”

“I think having a certain workflow and, as you said, a cadence is equally important. The number one priority is your annual training, which is extremely important, and you need to do it.”

“If there is a pattern to a cadence, then people know what to expect and when.”

“If something goes wrong and if any single person in the organization doesn’t understand the guidelines, and in the processes around this, it can reveal compensation data or even health care data and compromise so much information in the world, which can land into hands of the people you don’t want them to get access to.”
