Webinar: How to Build Smarter Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Programs

Building a resilient Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) program doesn’t require a massive team or an unlimited budget. For small and midsize businesses, the key is focus—knowing which areas to prioritize to make measurable progress.

In a recent webinar with Today’s General Counsel, leaders from Navex and the Ethics and Compliance Initiative (ECI) discussed this topic. The session, “Building a Smarter GRC Program: Five Essentials to Elevate Organization Readiness,” explores ECI’s High-Quality Program (HQP) framework, which identifies five core principles: strategy, risk management, culture, speaking up, and accountability.

One of the talking points focused on the hurdles employees face when reporting misconduct. Evren Esen, Vice President of Research and Analytics at ECI, emphasized the weight of this decision: “It’s always a big challenge for employees to take that step.”

She went on to say that any program’s effectiveness is best measured by its impact on people. “I think the way that you can measure the effectiveness of your program is to understand the impact that your program is having on employees,” she said.

The session also helps you:

• Apply a proven framework to measure your GRC maturity
• Identify quick wins and longer-term strategies for sustainable improvement
• Get a clear, actionable view of your program’s maturity and next steps

Whether you are looking to benchmark your program against peers or move your efforts from reactive to ready, this session provides a clear roadmap for growth. You can download the recording here.
