Training continues to play a major role in helping employees understand HCA’s new focus on ethics and legal compliance. Every new employee is required to undergo two hours of orientation on the firm’s code of conduct within 30 days of employment. During that time, new employees receive a copy of the code of conduct, participate in training using videotapes and games, and sign an acknowledgment card. All employees complete one hour of refresher training on the firm’s code of conduct every year.
