A good reputation is good for the bottom line<\/h4>\n<p>You might think a hefty non-compliance fine is a one-time strain on company finances, but the resulting damage to the organization\u2019s brand reputation could wind up costing you a lot more in the long run. Potential clients, investors and media all have their eye on you. And just one negative article can cost you <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/new-data-reveals-67-of-consumers-are-influenced-by-online-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">22 percent<\/a> of business.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is good news. Proactively investingin compliance training will not only help your business avoid public <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caranddriver.com\/news\/a15339250\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-vw-diesel-emissions-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scandal<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/3056499\/zenefits-ceo-parker-conrad-resigns-amid-compliance-scandal-coo-david-sacks-steps-in?cid=search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">embarrassment<\/a>. It can also help you draw in like-minded clients. How so? Be vocal about your commitment to compliance and compliance training. Post about it on your website and your blog, if you have one. Include it in your marketing materials. Let the world know you\u2019re proud to have standards, and you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinemba.wsu.edu\/blog\/3-reasons-an-ethical-business-leads-to-profits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more likely to achieve success<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>2. Top training helps attract top talent<\/h4>\n<p>Keeping your company on the ball when it comes to being compliant will boost brand reputation not only with clients and investors but also with your employees\u2014and potential employees, too. In fact, a bad reputation can cost you at least\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hbr.org\/2016\/03\/a-bad-reputation-costs-company-at-least-10-more-per-hire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">10 percent<\/a> more per hire. And that\u2019s if you even get the talent you want in the door.<\/p>\n<p>With millennials now making up <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2018\/04\/11\/millennials-largest-generation-us-labor-force\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the majority<\/a> of the working population, more than ever both prospective and current employees size up an organization with regard to how its values match up with their own <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/global\/en\/pages\/about-deloitte\/articles\/millennialsurvey.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ethics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, millennials now make up the lion\u2019s share of the working population. And, as both prospective and current employees, this generation wants its employer\u2019s values to match up with their own ethics. According to a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallup.com\/workplace\/245084\/ways-millennials-advance-workplace-diversity-inclusion.aspx#:~:text=To%20millennials%2C%20diversity%20includes%20everything,by%20creating%20an%20inclusive%20environment.\"> Gallup poll<\/a>, millennials value a work culture that seeks out diverse voices and ideas, and they help facilitate an inclusive culture by encouraging open and transparent dialogue.<\/p>\n<h4>3. Safer workplaces save and make more money<\/h4>\n<p>In addition to saving you money on insurance premiums and legal fees, statistics show that companies with effective health and safety compliance training can cut their illness and injury rate up to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ehsinsight.com\/blog\/the-importance-of-workplace-health-and-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">40 percent<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Studies also show that when everyone on the team simply understands how to do their jobs safely and well\u2014not just from a process standpoint but also from a values standpoint\u2014engagement, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/womensmedia\/2015\/08\/04\/the-secret-to-engaged-employees-especially-women-and-millennials\/#3c4950506d6f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">productivity<\/a> and profitability all rise.<\/p>\n<p>When businesses are compliant, thanks to strong compliance, they tend to run more smoothly and efficiently in general. Beyond the obvious benefit of avoiding physical peril, discrimination and harassment, being compliant can create a better working environment for your employees, which can lead to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/womensmedia\/2015\/08\/04\/the-secret-to-engaged-employees-especially-women-and-millennials\/#3c4950506d6f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">boost in productivity<\/a> and bigger profits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A gap in your company\u2019s compliance training is a risk\u2014one with the potential to shrivel your organization\u2019s bottom line in a hurry.
