Compliance Training

Overview

Employee training comes in various forms, including onboarding for new hires, product and service training for current employees, and technical skill training for continual improvement. However, one type of training that often receives negative attention is the good old boring compliance training.

Compliance training is often perceived as boring because it can be lengthy and dry, and it may seem disconnected from employees’ day-to-day work. Other major reasons are lack of engaging content, fear-based approach and training being lengthy and repetitive. Despite this, compliance training if done right, plays a crucial role for organizations to manage risks, promote ethical behavior, and safeguard their reputation, employees, and stakeholders.

What is Compliance training?

Compliance training refers to training employees about the laws, regulations, and policies that are relevant to their work and organization. It is essential for organizations to implement compliance training to prevent legal violations, reduce risk, and create a more responsible and accountable workplace culture. Compliance training encompasses variety of topics including:

• Anti-bribery and corruption
• Data protection and privacy
• Workplace safety
• Discrimination and harassment
• Financial regulations
• Cybersecurity
• Environmental compliance

Importance of Compliance training for organizations?

Non-compliance can have severe consequences for organizations, including damage to their reputation, financial penalties, and in extreme cases legal prosecutions. Consequently, the importance of compliance training has increased in recent years due to the rise in regulatory requirements and the growing emphasis on corporate social responsibility.

In recent times during pandemic, compliance training has been instrumental in helping organizations adapt to new ways of working while maintaining employee safety and health. It has equipped employees with the knowledge and skills to navigate remote working such as:

1. Remote work policies

   Compliance training helped employees understand the policies and procedures related to remote working, such as data privacy and security protocols, communication and collaboration tools, and work schedules.

2. Cybersecurity

   Compliance training has enabled employees to understand the cybersecurity risks associated with remote work, such as phishing attacks and unauthorized access to company data. It educated employees on best practices for protecting company data and systems, ensuring that organizations were not vulnerable to cyber threats.

3. Health and safety

   Compliance training helped employees understand safety protocols and best practices, such as social distancing and proper hygiene. It ensured that employees were aware of the risks and took necessary precautions while working from home.

While Compliance training plays an important role in every organization, the conventional training methods employed are often time-consuming, monotonous, and disconnected from employees’ daily work, resulting in disengagement and lack of enthusiasm among them. The absence of compelling content and repetition exacerbates the problem, making it essential to establish an effective compliance training strategy that addresses the shortcomings of traditional training methods. An effective compliance training strategy with a non-traditional approach is a must for every organization.
