Thriving as a compliance officer

 

This presentation will draw on my decades of experience in compliance roles and provide various suggestions for how compliance officers can thrive, regardless of the difficulty of the work and the current constantly changing context in which compliance officers are working.

 
The presentation will provide practical advice for compliance officers such as:

 

• The need to remind yourself that you are making a difference – without compliance officers, plans, bylaws and resource consent conditions may have no effect.

• The importance of celebrating your successes.

• A reminder that you can’t do everything – there are limited hours in a working day.

• Don’t expect perfection from yourself.

• Ask for help when you need it.

The presentation will also cover how to deal with difficult people and the importance of training and support for compliance officers.

The aim is for this to be an interactive session, discussion amongst attendees will be encouraged during the presentation.
