Yes, compliance is complicated, and good policies are important - but compliance cannot be measured by the length of your policies.Complexity kills compliance. So organizations should strive to make their processes as simple, streamlined, intuitive and automatic as possible. This requires a mindset of continuous improvement, focusing on clear communication across multiple channels, implementing useful and practical tools - and understanding the needs of your busy colleagues. After all, a compliance program that ignores the human factor, is not really a compliance program.
