Benefits of Compliance Training

Compliance training educates employees about the rules, regulations, policies, and laws they must follow at an organization to ensure ethical conduct, stay safe, carry out professional responsibilities, and maintain a pleasant work environment.  

Besides establishing structure within the organization, compliance training protects businesses from legal and reputational risks. 

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

Compliance training informs employees about the laws, regulations, and industry standards they need to abide by. Well-informed employees help keep the business out of legal trouble and regulatory trouble such as penalties. 

Compliance training spells out the compliance requirements that employees must follow. This increases the likelihood of compliant behavior and reduces the potential for non-compliance. Thus, it protects the business and employees from safety risks, as well as regulatory and legal risks.  

With compliance training, businesses can develop a sense of responsibility among employees regarding their conduct. This way, businesses can ensure that employees act in the best interest of the organization and their peers.  

Non-compliance attracts bad press and can damage organizations’ reputations overnight. Compliance training safeguards against such instances, protecting companies from a bad reputation. Compliance is also seen as a sign of authenticity, helping businesses build and maintain trust with stakeholders.  

Nowadays, cybersecurity, privacy, and data compliance have become essential training areas for firms as the risk of cyber crimes has increased. Training employees about the measures and best practices they must abide by to protect digital data can safeguard businesses against leaks and breaches. 

Compliance training, when done right, can increase employees’ awareness about issues in the workplace they would not have previously noticed or acted upon such as discrimination, unsafe working conditions, harassment, etc. This enables them to actively contribute to creating a positive, safe, and inclusive working environment, which naturally reduces the likelihood of non-compliance incidents.

Employees that know their legal responsibilities well and act in accordance with them reduce the business’ legal liability. It becomes easier for the organization to defend itself or its employees against legal claims and lawsuits when it doesn’t have a history of misconduct or non-compliance.  

Compliance training provides cost savings in almost all avenues. It ensures productivity, high-quality work, and data security. Additionally, it prevents the risk of fines, penalties, and lawsuits, saving the firm legal fees, PR costs, etc. 

Compliance training covers critical organizational processes, giving employees a clear idea of the workflow they must follow. This streamlines performance and increases operational efficiency by reducing errors and re-dos. 

A robust compliance training system allows organizations to timely update their employees about any changes in rules, regulations, and laws. This gives businesses regulatory adaptability and protects them from potential liabilities in the face of change.

Employees have long associated compliance training with boredom and obligation. Hence, breaking it down into short bursts of highly-relevant learning using microlearning courses can serve as an effective antidote. We have immense experience in creating different kinds of compliance training microlearning modules for clients from various industries.  

Gamification can be a fun and immersive way of delivering compliance training to employees. In gamification, learners are engaged by introducing challenges, plots, and feedback for all the input they are required to make. We can assist you in gamifying your compliance training modules by suggesting the appropriate game format, plot, rewards, etc., and developing the idea into a gamified eLearning module. 

Scenario-based learning contextualizes the information being provided to learners and lets them know how situations might play out in reality. With scenario-based learning, you can not only introduce rules, laws, and regulations to employees but also give them a step-by-step understanding of what compliance looks like in different situations. We are skilled at building scenarios of various kinds involving human figures, illustrations, videos, etc. and can cater to a diverse range of needs. 

Video-based learning is a convenient favorite among many learners due to its use of multimedia, short duration, and ability to emotionally engage learners. Video-based learning can make compliance training dynamic and interesting. We provide video-based courses, as well as video creation for adding into other eLearning formats such as microlearning. We are mindful of diversity in depictions, language, and captioning, and can cater to any other specific requirements clients might have. 

If time is a concern, we offer pre-made training programs that can be swiftly deployed after purchase. These courses are more general in their scope, catering to training areas and protocols that are common across organizations.

The client availed our services to convert an instructor-led safety and awareness training program into a bespoke e-learning course so they could deliver it more easily to their employees across various office branches.

The aim of the course was to build skills and general situational awareness strategies among learners in the face of an active shooter incident.

Due to the very sensitive nature of the topic, the client had some highly specific requirements for the e-learning course. They wanted to avoid depictions of the following:

  • Firearms
  • Injury and blood
  • People in threatening or aggressive poses, unless absolutely necessary to the curriculum
  • Anything that would perpetuate harmful and misplaced stereotypes about certain groups or communities

However, due to the skill-based subject matter, depictions of human beings were not entirely avoidable, either. Thus, the visual aids for the course needed to be picked very deliberately and carefully.

The e-learning course contained a mixture of strategies geared toward skill-building and situational awareness. It followed a structured learning format with a pre-defined learning pathway. This was essential so learners had proper context about statistical figures and the chances of such incidents happening before getting into the practical aspect of things.

Text-based screens with a contemporary and clean interface and background image headers were used for the theory slides. The skill-based sections used scenarios, branching, practical tips supplemented by images, real-life examples, and videos.

Instead of utilizing characters or people for scenarios, custom-illustrated silhouettes were brought in to make the people depicted in them appear as generic as possible. Additionally, these silhouettes were placed against a backdrop of internal office images. These images were also used in theory sections, timelines, and menu backgrounds to contextualize the learning for the target audience.

The course also had interactive drag-and-drop knowledge checks to reinforce the skills learners were being taught.

The client’s branding guidelines were strictly followed for greater harmony between all the customized elements.

Lastly, a voiceover was added to make the course more accessible and easier to consume.

The finished product aligned well with the client’s requirements and successfully imparted skills and strategies without being explicit.
