As a regular citizen, you deal with compliance on a daily basis, even if you are not conscious of it. When you follow the traffic lights or stand at a distance from train doors after a subway announcement, you are complying with traffic laws and public safety regulations.

Compliance essentially refers to the various ways a business ensures that they are sticking to both their internal compliance framework as well as other international laws that apply to their industry. International employment compliance refers to how companies adhere to the international labor standards set by the countries themselves, as well as the International Labor Organization.
