BELA Asks: What Does a Good Post-Benchmarking Action Plan Look Like?

Organizations that benchmark their ethics and compliance programs against their peers often stumble on what to do with their benchmarking data, and next steps should look like. To that end, Erica Salmon Byrne, Executive Chair of BELA, answers the questions: What is a good post-benchmarking action plan?

In our BELA Asks series, we address questions posed by members of the Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA) about wider issues facing the ethics and compliance community. BELA members who have any questions at all about ethics and compliance can send them to us, and then our internal experts will provide an answer and/or direct them to a helpful resource for more information.
