Yesterday, I got an email from Communications Dept, saying they were sending me two posters which MUST be hung in our department, in a clearly visible area. The posters are advertising the Compliance Division, letting us know who to get in touch with if there's a compliance issue. They're trying to put a "friendly face" on the department, so that employees won't be scared to call and turn their coworkers in. I'm not sure why I was chosen for this task. They should know better than to trust me with such power.

So, I get the posters - and they're certainly putting a friendly face on their department. The poster is filled with a larger-than-life photo of the Compliance Director, and the caption is "Hi, I'm [name], Compliance Officer for [company]!"

I hung one unaltered poster in the cafeteria, but on the hallway poster I added a sign saying "Dress Your Compliance Officer", complete with with sticky cut-out accessories -- a tiara, sunglasses, a moustache, earrings, and a beret.

That is genius. I wish you worked in my office. Oh, wait, I work at home. Shoot, I really could use a poster like that anyway.
