Ideas on How to Celebrate in Your Organization
These games can be distributed to your organizations through email
or printed off and handed out. These are great fun resources to refresh your
employees' knowledge about their compliance skills. Consider using them in
these fun ways:
- Incorporate
them into your monthly or weekly team meetings.
- Try to
have your employees race to complete the games, either individually or as
a team. Afterward, review them as a group and discuss any unknown terms
or questions.
- Have
employees turn in their completed puzzles to be entered into a drawing for
a gift card, lunch, or another type of small reward.
- Space
out distributing them, for each week in November, have a different puzzle
completed, and if everyone participates, have a "Compliance
Celebration" with a luncheon or fall-related party. Remember,
organizations are responsible for creating a culture of compliance in the
workplace.
Seven Elements of Corporate Compliance
How effective is your compliance program at your organization? The Office of Inspector General (OIG) defined the seven elements of an effective compliance program.
To Quickly Refresh Your Memory:
- Standards
and Conduct
- Oversight
- Education
and Training
- Reporting
- Monitoring
and Auditing
- Enforcement
and Discipline
- Response and Prevention
Healthcare Compliance Pros recommends training for all employees in all positions (regardless of permanent or temporary status; full or part-time). For example, training your front or back-office workers online. A successful compliance program provides training at the time of hire, tracks annual refreshers, and completes periodic education when a need arises. Employees need to be trained in Corporate Compliance, OSHA, HIPAA, HR, and other regulations, rules, and policies as required.
In this case, you are invited to celebrate Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week!
