Listen "The Novels - The Valley of Fear, Whistleblowers and Corporate Compliance"
Episode Synopsis
In this new season of Adventures in Compliance, host Tom Fox takes a deep dive into the Sherlock Holmes novels. Over this season, Tom will take a deep dive into each novel over a four-part series. The four novels we will consider from the ethics and compliance perspective are A Study in Scarlet, The Sign of Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, and The Valley of Fear. For August, we conclude this Season with a deep dive into the least well-known of the Sherlock Holmes novels, The Valley of Fear.
Timothy and Fiona return in Part 3 of our series on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel ‘The Valley of Fear’ to draw parallels with contemporary corporate challenges. Their discussion highlights how the novel’s depiction of fear, secrecy, and intimidation in a terror-ruled society resembles modern-day corporate environments where employees hesitate to speak up about issues due to fear of retaliation. Some of the key points they debate include the importance of anonymity, protection from retaliation, continuous communication with whistleblowers, and building a speak-up culture. These elements are identified as vital for effective compliance programs and fostering an environment of trust and integrity.
Key highlights:
Connecting Fiction to Modern Corporate Challenges
The Role of Whistleblowers in Corporate Compliance
The Importance of Anonymity
Protection from Retaliation
Building a Speak-Up Culture
