How can diversity help make Compliance functions more effective? My guest, Mary Shirley is a compliance professional who has been working to promote women in compliance. She\u2019s the co-host of The Great Women in Compliance podcast and the co-author of a book called Sending the Elevator Back Down: What We\u2019ve Learned from Great Women in Compliance.

One of the ways we can mitigate human risk is to have a more diverse range of opinions involved in decision-making. And that\u2019s arguably even more important when it comes to the people in functions responsible for managing human risk. Because if you\u2019re going to effectively influence employees to do the right things and not do the wrong ones, you\u2019re going to need a broad range of insights into what those employees might get up to.

Mary and I both presented at the recent European Ethics & Compliance Conference. You can see those presentations here:

If, like me, you thought Compliance was a male-dominated discipline, but as Mary explains, the ratio of men to women is above average, but for reasons you might not expect. And, that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t work to be done.

A brief note on audio quality \u2014\xa0I recorded my part of the show while travelling and the audio quality at my end isn\u2019t as high as it usually is. My apologies. Fortunately, Mary\u2019s audio, like her content, is of a very high standard.
