A 360-degree view of compliance is an effort to incorporate your compliance identity into a holistic approach so that compliance is in touch with and visible to your employees at all times. It is about creating a distinctive brand philosophy of compliance centered on your consumers. In other words, it helps a compliance practitioner to anticipate all the aspects of your employee’s needs around compliance.

Communication is often thought of as a two-way street, upward and downward, inbound and outbound, or side-to-side. However, it is better to think of it as a 360-degree effort. You can no longer effectively communicate in just two ways. You now communicate in a more holistic manner and multiple ways. If you are thinking about communications in the classic form, you are missing something happening around you.

360 degrees of compliance communication is not just a classic form of communication but communication in every interaction, whether planned or accidental. It is all a form of communication.

Three key takeaways:

1. Remember the definition of 360 degrees of communication. It is an effort that moves the compliance identity into a holistic approach, so compliance is in touch and visible to your employees at all times

2. What is your objective? What are you trying to do with your 360 degrees of communications, and how are you using that mechanism to deliver the objectives of your compliance program?

3. Evaluate. You need to evaluate three factors: 1) has the message been delivered, 2) has it been heard, and 3) is it being implemented? See less -
