A sneak peek inside the episode:

“In today’s workforce, there needs to be some incentive for completion and for the continuation to maintain sustainability level. No longer do people do things because it’s in their job description, or because someone told them to do it. They need to understand the big picture.” – Vernon H. Mason Jr.

“It’s important that the compliance also builds. So every expectation that you have within your company and within each location, a lot of people are working to make sure that all of those expectations and that compliance is met.” – Rachel Supalla

“It’s worth mentioning the training and sustainability of those compliance procedures. It’s important along the way to ensure that you’re not dragging people with you. You’re actually having them be part of the process and help you coin those guidelines.” – Julie Roy

“When we start talking about compliance, we need to talk about it the way lots of other industries do. It’s a badge of honor. When you have a compliance school, it’s something that gives a sense of safety to the staff, to the families.” – Lynn Wenger
