    Episode 3, How the Lion’s Mouth Informs Hotlines

    Welcome to a short podcast series on doing compliance with a Venetian twist. This week, we will examine three areas where Venice’s time-honored methods inform modern compliance practices. Over the next 3 episodes, we will consider going back to basics in your compliance regime, the use of incentives and consequences to drive a culture of compliance, and how the Lion’s Mouth informs your modern-day whistleblower program. In this concluding Episode 3, we look at how the historical governance of Venice informs modern compliance programs by looking at Venice’s prototype whistleblower program, the Lion’s Mouth. In this episode, Tom highlights Venice’s early whistleblower systems, symbolized by the lion of St. Mark, and their implications for creating effective and trustworthy hotline programs. This series also offers best practices for setting up and maintaining robust hotline systems to ensure confidentiality, avoid retaliation, and comply with legal standards. You will draw valuable lessons from Venice’s rich history to enhance your organization’s compliance framework.

    Episode 2, The Arsenale and Creating a Culture of Compliance

    Welcome to a short podcast series on doing compliance with a Venetian twist. This week, we will examine three areas where Venice’s time-honored methods inform modern compliance practices. Over the next 3 episodes, we will consider going back to basics in your compliance regime, the use of incentives and consequences to drive a culture of compliance, and how the Lion’s Mouth informs your modern-day whistleblower program. In episode 2, we see how Venice used financial and non-financial incentives and consequence management to create a culture of compliance in Venice’s largest business operation, Arsenale. The Arsenale district in Venice was known for its shipbuilding prowess from the 1200s to the 1400s. By examining how Venice managed its critical shipbuilding workforce through both incentives and discipline, Tom draws valuable parallels to modern corporate compliance programs. He highlights that Venice implemented job security and compensatory incentives to promote loyalty while enforcing strict non-compete clauses and severe punishments for leaking state secrets. Tom emphasizes the importance of balancing positive incentives with clear disciplinary actions, aligning this historical example with contemporary guidance from the DOJ and SEC. These principles support recognizing compliance efforts through promotions, bonuses, and acknowledgments, which can foster ethical behavior and improve overall organizational integrity.
