Welcome to a special series on building a stronger culture of compliance through targeted and effective training sponsored by Diligent. I will visit with Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark, Viktor Culjak, Jessica Czeczuga, Michael Parker, and Alexander Cotoia in this series. Over this series, we will consider what culture is, how to assess culture, putting together a strategy to manage culture based upon this assessment, monitoring that strategy in the future, and using information from your monitoring to improve your culture continuously. In Part 1, we ask what culture is with our special guest, Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark.

Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark, a seasoned professional in the financial services industry, currently holds the position of Chief Compliance Officer for State Street Corporation. With a robust background in risk management, Yvette has cultivated a deep understanding of the significance and measurement of corporate culture in the financial sector. She asserts that corporate culture should not be solely managed by the compliance function but rather owned by the C-suite and executed in various forms. Yvette emphasizes the need for specific metrics to monitor and promote desired cultural values, such as integrity. She believes culture can be measured through metrics such as the number of risk decisions overruled, challenged, or implemented correctly. She also highlights the importance of considering stakeholders such as customers, clients, and third parties when assessing corporate culture. Join Tom Fox and Yvette Hollingsworth-Clark on this episode to delve deeper into this topic.
