We thought it would be fun to see where the 2016 Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week celebrations are taking place across the US this week. The map below shows that celebrations are taking place in 46/50 states (dark blue indicates at least one celebration)! How are you celebrating? Let us know in the comments!

  1. There are celebrations in Idaho and Utah! I met this week with teams in Lewiston and Boise, Idaho, for Compliance Week and have had activities going on in SLC. I am meeting with the SLC team today. So Idaho and Utah can also be dark blue on your map – in the compliance week meaning of the color.

    • Thank you, Rosemary! I updated the map to include Idaho and Utah. Thanks for letting me know and I hope CCEW is going well for you!

  2. We have a different activity launched on our internal communication channel each day. Monday was a list of ten compliance and ethics activities that award points. The employee with the most points on Friday will win a prize. Tuesday we announced our Compliance Cat Calendar contest. Employees submit a photo of their cat with a compliance slogan. We will print a calendar with the 12 best photos/slogans. Wednesday we had five clips from movies that discussed ethical issues and invited employees to make comments after watching the movie clips. Thursday we sent a like to Adam’s article about Smallpox and Compliance and asked employees to share their thoughts. On Friday we will announce the winner of Monday’s contest and thank employees for their participation.

    Will you be sharing ideas so we can borrow from the best for 2017?

    • Thanks for sharing, Ann! These are great ideas and I especially love the “compliance cat calendar”, how fun!

      We’ll be sharing ideas on our social media channels this week and I’ll put together a blog post to wrap up CCEW so you can borrow ideas for 2017.

  3. On the first day, we asked employees to nominate an Ethics Hero and to tell us why. We will publish the responses on Friday. This was an idea I learned at the SCCE conference this year. All people nominated are elected Ethic Heroes.

    Every day, we e-mail all network users daily with a puzzle or game. We used a word search, secret message decoded with our secret decoder ring, Ethics Mad Lib.

  4. Nebraska is celebrating! We’ve had outreach, activities, and prizes all week, and have had a great response. Looking forward to seeing how others have celebrated!

    • Thanks for letting me know, Rachel! I updated the map to include Nebraska. Glad to hear that you’re having a great response!

  5. Good Morning,

    Last year’s celebration at my former employer included an Owl Hunt in honor of the company’s Compliance mascot, Cornelius Compliance. “Paper Cornelius’s”, die cut versions of Cornelius, were hidden throughout the organization. In every department, facility and building. They were hidden in places that anyone would have access, but not in plain sight. On the back of each Paper Cornelius there was a question about the compliance program. Employees or participant’s who found Paper Cornelius had to answer the question and return him to the Compliance Officer they were entered to win a gas card. If they submitted him in person they got a “bonus prize”- candy! The Paper Cornelius’s were displayed and people also wrote where they were found.
    Everyone seemed very engaged in the celebration and there were no incorrect answers on any of the owls submitted. I was very pleased with the 86 owls returned.

    It was a bit of work in making the paper owls, but they can easily be reused each year. I am hoping to recreate a version of this activity within my current organization, as their mascot is also a bird!

  6. Every year I send compliance trivia questions via email and the first person to respond correctly wins a Compliance Tumbler/Mug. This is my 5th year doing this and everyone gets really excited and competitive. The questions are sent out at random times, including the middle of the night for night shift folks. I also make and distribute posters with the compliance quotes and post one each day on the intranet. I walk around to different departments and satellite offices with pens and lanyards. We are in Pennsylvania.

  7. Maryland celebrated CCEW16 with a week long virtual scavenger hunt that required employees all across the University of Maryland Medical System to access policies on the intranet, find information that they didn’t know that they needed on a daily basis, and search their facilities for interpretation/translation services posters! We also hosted a video contest that two of our affiliates participated in. Here’s our CCEW16 kick-off video that the UMMS CCBEG team created: https://youtu.be/XyIqjVA0lYg. I’m happy to share the virtual scavenger concept with anyone who may be interested in using it next year!
