BELA Asks…All About Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of interest have dominated the BELA concierge queue in recent months, and three member questions show where conflicts programs get stuck.
In this BELA Asks episode, Erica Salmon Byrne, Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair of Ethisphere, joins Ethisphere hosts Bill Coffin, Editor-in-Chief, and Julia Boyes, Manager of Community Events & Global Sponsor Engagement, to answer them: when to use disclosure versus pre-clearance, how to assess employees who accept highly compensated board seats, and what must be in place before conflicts approval moves from compliance to business leaders. Her answer holds across all three. Design for the conflicts you are trying to catch, and build a process employees will use.
