Damanick Dantes, Fortune; Convercent CEO: Encourage Employees to Speak Up on Ethics Issues
"The risk of an ethics scandal is far too great for a CEO to ignore.
The conventional approach is to publish a list of ethics guidelines and
expect everyone in an organization to follow—but if there’s one thing
we’ve learned this year, it’s simply not enough. At risk: the image of
an organization and the finances of its stakeholders.
Call it the post-Harvey Weinstein
era. The court of public opinion holds corporations accountable for
saying one thing and doing another, says Patrick Quinlan, CEO of
compliance management software company Convercent. Quinlan’s company
operates a compliance and ethics cloud platform—think of it as a 21st
century whistleblower hotline—for employees of businesses and
governments around the world."

Bad behavior and rise in ethical dilemmas are an advantage
to Denver’s Convercent, which just raised $25M
"Ethics software developer Convercent said Tuesday it raised $25 million in new funding. The investment was led by Rho Ventures.
The Denver firm has seen interest in its software surge as tech companies and others battle ethical issues that went public, such as Uber’s problems with workplace harassment. Uber is reportedly a new client. Convercent’s software can pop up a reminder to employees when they’re facing a potential issue, such as rules that kick in when traveling overseas. But closer to home, companies are reaching out to Convercent in the wake of celebrity sexual harassment scandals."
