What’s in this report from podcaster and compliance expert Tom Fox:
Many companies overlook the importance of compensation and incentives when it comes to reinforcing the compliance program and instilling a culture of compliance. They do so to their detriment, writes compliance expert and podcaster Tom Fox.
Among the most basic questions to ask, Fox writes, are the following, “… [W]hat does your employee compensation consist of? Is it a straight salary? Is it variable?

Or is it some combination of all of the above?”
