The Ethisphere Institute, a global leader in defining and advancing standards of ethical business practices, announced today a new alliance with Second City Works, the professional services arm of the world-famous comedy theater The Second City, to offer a range of videos and communications that use memorable scenarios and storytelling to draw attention to important ethics and compliance issues.
As companies turn to digital platforms and virtual environments, these 1-2 minute videos and communications provide a scalable way to advance the importance of ethics and compliance to employees through a variety of channels - in video calls, company intranets, emails and via a range of devices.
The videos are used by more than a third of Fortune 1000 companies and approximately 25 percent of the World's Most Ethical companies to enhance broader training programs and build awareness of key topics including information security, privacy, anti-corruption, expense reports, third-party risk management, due diligence, and more. The Real Biz Shorts library features more than 240 videos, with an additional 30 new videos being launched in 2020.
To mark the new alliance, Ethisphere and Second City are providing a free video download that companies can share with employees.

œOrganizations are navigating through so much today, and ethics and compliance leaders are looking for ways to connect with employees and ensure that, wherever they are located, they continue to uphold company standards. The Real Biz Shorts library captures the attention of employees in a way that is accessible and memorable, said Jonathan Whitacre, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer, Ethisphere.
œResearch shows that using creativity and humor improves recall, problem solving and empathy, said Steve Johnston, President and Managing Partner of The Second City. œSecond City Works has used humor to talk about difficult subjects with our Real Biz Shorts content for 10 years. To ensure our videos and communications continue to hit the mark, we have collaborated with hundreds of organizations to bring authenticity to our ethics and compliance work. We are excited to further partner with Ethisphere to share these videos with broader audiences.
Members of Ethisphere's Business Ethics Leadership Alliance (BELA)”a globally recognized organization of over 300 leading companies collaborating to share best practices in governance, risk management, compliance, and ethics”will also receive a free Real Biz Shorts video download as part of the membership.
œProviding our employees with engaging and informative training is critical to maintaining the highest ethical standards at Lincoln. Utilizing short, humorous videos helps cut through the clutter and has been an excellent addition to our communications toolkit, said Steve Harris, Senior Vice President and Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer, Lincoln Financial Group. œWhen people laugh, they watch, and when they watch, they learn”and that is key to influencing behavior and ethical decision-making.
