Building Compliance Into Your Company Culture

Compliance is an integral part of an organization, regardless of whether you are overseeing a global enterprise or running a small business. Compliance helps companies to avoid white collar-crime, corruption, ethics issues, and other pitfalls. It’s also essential when it comes to tax issues, federal and local laws, industry requirements, workplace safety, employee rights, and data management.

Although you can create a team to oversee all the compliance requirements, you can’t leave all the workload to them.

Here’s how to create a positive compliance culture.

Over 30M File for Unemployment as the Coronavirus Hammers Businesses in the US

The COVID-19 pandemic is taking a devastating toll on the US economy, and the unemployment rate is continuing to expedite. More specifically, non-essential small to mid-sized business employers are being forced to furlough and layoff their employees due to reduced working, as well as productivity efforts, and forced closed doors.

Under the CARES Act comes a new Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERTC) that will help some businesses, while the Paycheck Protection Program is available to aid small businesses only (less than 500 employees). “I compare it to a natural disaster, a terrorist attack and a financial shock all at once,” said Gregory Daco, chief U.S. economist at Oxford Economics. “We’ve never had this in history.” In fact, the unemployment rate today is the highest since the Great Depression, at over 18%*. Not only is there a steep rise in layoffs but a severe decline in the job market as companies have had to freeze or cancel their hiring growth plans.
