Compliance training

Along with induction the application of e-learning in the areas of compliance and company policy is an area which is proving to be very successful - both in terms of effectiveness where the challenge is often to change behavior rather than disseminate facts and as a cost effective form of delivery.

Compliance training may not be the most exciting topic but it can be incredibly important to get right and can protect customers, employees and organisations from malpractice, insurance issues or legal action.

Through e-learning a consistent message can be delivered and importantly users can be tracked ensuring coursework has been completed required levels of understanding achieved through assessment.

Possibly the most exciting opportunity for e-learning when delivering compliance training is that it can show how abstract guidelines can be put into practice in a real life context that employees can feel is relevant to them. Helping staff learn the consequence of their actions using techniques such as interactive scenarios which focus on the application of policy rather than the policies themselves. This way compliance training isn’t just something that users click through and tick the boxes but something which achieves high levels of understanding and retention.
