BELA Asks: How Do I Make the Case for Dedicated E&C Communications?

How do you make the case for a dedicated communications role within Ethics & Compliance? In this BELA Asks episode, Erica Salmon Byrne breaks down how to use peer data, employee engagement insights, and real-world risk scenarios to demonstrate the value of strategic communications. She also offers practical guidance for teams without additional headcount, showing how to partner effectively with internal communications to strengthen messaging, improve impact, and help prevent reputational crises before they start. 

This episode stems from the BELA concierge service, in which BELA members can submit questions regarding ethics and compliance and our internal experts will provide an answer plus helpful resources with information. And since there is no competition in compliance, we respond thematically to high-level questions in the BELA Asks series for the benefit of E&C teams everywhere.
