BELA Asks: What Are Good Champion Program ROI Data Points?

About this episode

This episode discusses how to evaluate the ROI of ethics and compliance champion programs.

Ethics and compliance champions programs can extend the reach of a centralized E&C team, but how do you prove they are working? In this BELA Asks episode of Ethicast, Ethisphere’s Erica Salmon Byrne explains how organizations can evaluate both the overall ROI of an ambassador or champions program and the performance of individual ambassadors. Erica discusses practical data points to track, including employee questions, policy confusion, participation in ambassador conversations, use of program materials, and employee awareness of local champions. She also explains why a strong champions program creates a valuable feedback loop between employees and the ethics and compliance team, helping organizations respond faster, improve communications, and strengthen risk mitigation.Learn more about BELA: www.ethisphere.com/bela
