What is Compliance Training?

Compliance training is employee training authorized by regulation, legislation or policy that helps to reduce risk, maintain your reputation and improve the workplace environment to improve worker productivity in the long run. It educates your employees on the laws or regulations that are predominantly used to maintain the safety of the workplace and the dignity of the employee applicable to their job function or industry. Employees must typically complete compliance training within certain deadlines in order to continue their employment.

Why is training compliance important?

Companies have a social responsibility to their employees and compliance training is core to your companies’ risk management system from ensuring a safe workplace to legally protecting your consumer data and privacy. This is the most vital responsibility of a learning organization, both in terms of operational efficiency as well as legal responsibility. Training compliance is important as it creates awareness and prepares employees to handle situations that could put their safety or well-being or job at risk. It is essential for all employees because it protects an organization’s values, policies and commitment to the law. It empowers employees to use the knowledge and awareness about particular issues, policies or regulations and conduct themselves with integrity and identify when a situation or behavior is in violation.

Essential elements of Compliance Training

To maintain the greatest transparency and ethical conduct with clients, customers, employees, and stakeholders, organizations must have a compliance training program to reduce risks, keep everyone updated, maintain trust, and decrease the chances of violating the law.

With compliance training programs, set your compliance training on the right track by focussing on the following 4 essential elements once it is implemented correctly:

improved leadership

Improved Leadership

Before implementing your compliance training program, your organization must have a well-informed leadership team having knowledge of the organization’s goals and culture, as well as the relevant laws to support the business to handle risk, maintain a good reputation, and avoid penalties or lawsuits. Like any other training program, delivery and awareness are also an important part when it comes to implementing your corporate compliance training. For that learning & development (L&D) teams should look for ways to make delivery easy but effective.

assess your risks

Assess Your Risks

Corporate compliance training should include internal regulations as well as external laws. Your organization should also conduct a risk assessment to determine high-risk areas so that you can prioritize resources to manage these first and ensure appropriate control measures are put in place. With engaging training materials, you can focus on the importance of how serious your company takes its safety.

  • Employees’ engagement rates
  • Resources that are performing well or under-performing
  • Evaluation results
  • Time logs
  • Satisfaction feedback

By considering the above points, your organization will be on the right track ensuring the business is approaching training in an ethical and compliant way.

CQ Works Great and is a Pleasure to Use

We went live with CQ just a few weeks ago and it works great! We received excellent training and after some playing around and getting used to it we found that it is really easy to use. So far we have implemented Document and Training Management as well as CAPA and both have everything we need right out of the box. After years of cumbersome spreadsheets and databases CQ is a blessing. It makes document management quick and easy… and it’s a pleasure to use.

    • Encourage a better workplace culture

  • It is important for an organization to schedule compliance training as well as make it more effective and engaging for employees. An effective compliance training not only ensures that employees fully recognize the regulations but also improves and encourages a better and superior workplace culture. The content in a compliance training course can be highly technical, and for most employees taking the course, it can be difficult to understand since the type of language and information is not everyday reading material.
    So, how can you develop engaging content for your employees? Below are some suggestions to consider when preparing a new or update an existing compliance training plan:

    • Avoid Information Overload and Keep It Simple: By keeping the training material brief and precise, the compliance training program lets the trainees fully comprehend the reasons for and importance of the implemented rules or regulations. Also, the language used for training purposes should be simple and avoid technical jargon.

    • Engaging Training Material with Real-Life Examples: Effective compliance training should discuss case studies and real-world scenarios related to actual work ethics and situations so that your employee can connect the training with their everyday activities that will be meaningful and add value. There are a few organizations that support their compliance training program by keeping them fully interactive to help employees learn and take decisions in a risk-free environment and without causing any harm to the organization.

    • Incorporate Different Training Methods: Incorporating different learning methods involves different ways of presentation as every learning method has its own effectiveness. Besides, your organization should keep the training material updated and vary the content periodically as otherwise, the employee may lose interest in the training.
