Midweek, you’re running an energetic orientation for new hires, demystifying compliance expectations and showing where to find the latest controlled policies. By Friday, you’ve wrapped a process audit, briefed executives on findings, and kicked off corrective and preventive actions—keeping the organization aligned with federal, state, and local requirements.
