There are several factors contributing to compliance leader burnout but below are the top three to recognize, along with ways that companies and their compliance talent can effectively address these moving forward.

If traditional methods of compliance are used, the compliance leader has no actual oversight on whether those controls are running.

The compliance team may set up controls over user access, but if one control owner forgets to run their control, the resulting failure will likely be blamed on the compliance leader.

When compliance is perceived as a burden on stakeholders without a real benefit to the company, a compliance leader may struggle to feel recognized as serving an important role - leading to burnout.

The compliance leader who contributes operational value will likely receive greater funding and be consulted when decisions affecting compliance arise.

One of the key ways to combat this is to reduce the burden compliance imposes on stakeholders and increase the operational value compliance brings to a company by moving to data-oriented compliance.
