Regulatory non-compliance and poor regulation management represent important challenges for companies in Latin America, affecting their sustainability and competitiveness. Compliance emerges as a key response to mitigate legal and reputational risks. The objective was to analyze the impact of the development of Compliance programs on business sustainability and competitiveness. 50 articles published between 2013 and 2023 on Compliance were reviewed, using a mixed methodology. Qualitatively, trends, challenges and best practices in Compliance were identified and, quantitatively, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between the variables, revealing strong correlations between risks and implementation (r = 0.85), weak correlations between risks and transparency ( r = 0.30) and moderate between implementation and transparency (r = 0.45). It is concluded that large organizations have advanced in the adoption of Compliance, while SMEs face difficulties, highlighting Compliance as a strategic tool to improve competitiveness and stability.

In an ever-evolving work environment, driven by automation and digital transformation, companies face the challenge of maintaining their competitiveness and productivity. In this context, the concepts of upskilling and reskilling emerge as key strategies for adaptation and professional growth. The objective of this article was to explore how these strategies impact productivity and organizational competitiveness, addressing their importance for companies, governments, and workers in an ever-changing economy. Through a quantitative analysis with a descriptive level, where the characteristics or phenomena in a population of N=40 university professors were measured without necessarily seeking to establish causal relationships, a deep understanding of the perceptions and challenges in the implementation of training programs was carried out using statistical tools. To support the bibliographic part, it was obtained through theories on upskilling and reskilling where an exhaustive review of the existing literature on these concepts was carried out, analyzing previous studies, academic articles and reports from relevant organizations. The results highlight that upskilling and reskilling strategies are considered essential to overcome the challenges of productivity and competitiveness in an era of automation and digital transformation, however, implementation requires overcoming organizational barriers and tailoring training programs to the unique needs of employees and businesses.
