Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection - they all take creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the award-winning Compliance Podcast Network. Ronnie’s company, Learnings and Entertainment, utilizes the entertainment devices that people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives, and apply it to important topics around compliance and ethics. It is not only about being funny. It is about changing the tone of your compliance communications and messaging to make your compliance program, policies and resources more accessible. In this episode, Tom and Ronnie visit with Katherine Hill, Legal Compliance Manager at Ferguson Enterprises. We discuss the compliance program rebranding that Ronnie and his creative team at Learnings & Entertainment helped Katherine put together. They discuss the unique challenges for a blue collar work force and how Learnings & Entertainment was able to help Katherine and her team drive engagement through the creation of ‘Do It Right Rick’. Highlights include:
