First and foremost, it is clear that many companies are and will be faced with survival, pure and simple, doing whatever they can do today to ensure they are in business tomorrow. This is a reality that must be dealt with. Some will make it, many won’t.

In both culture and commerce, we live in what many would consider “interesting times” – as stated in the old Chinese proverb. A proverb, by the way, that is intended as a curse, not a blessing.
Our “interesting times” have officially decimated the worldwide economy, ravaged social norms, and rattled the psyche of many.

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. All members of your company must understand compliance, know why it matters, and act accordingly. This means developing a culture that fosters compliance throughout the organization.

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.
