Keeping Remote Teams In Compliance And Fully Engaged
Today, solid compliance training strategies are more crucial than ever, as many organizations have made the switch to telecommuting in order to mitigate risks and cut costs. But that creates even more challenges for your L&D team and HR department, as they need to raise awareness of new issues and emerging gaps at-a-distance. So, let’s explore some of the most common mistakes to avoid when implementing engaging compliance training programs in your organization.

5 Common Compliance Training Mistakes
Lack Of Personalization
You address key policies and task steps, but not how these compliance topics tie into job roles. Employees aren’t able to form an emotional connection or apply the information in context because the training lacks personalization. This is why it’s so crucial to conduct a TNA and get staffer feedback. Identify their gaps and goals, then use the data to guide your development process. Some of the best examples of personalized resources are stories, video demos, and simulations.
Trying To Handle Everything In-House
You think that your team can wrap up the entire project without external consultants or content providers. However, this places a heavy burden on your L&D and HR employees. Not to mention, the accounting department since outsourcing may be more cost-effective. The secret is to find the best vendor for your use case. For example, they specialize in your industry and offer every solution on your list. Meet with your team to evaluate their current workload, skills, and experience. Then determine whether outsourcing or in-house development is the best choice for your business from a human resource perspective.
Not Reusing Existing Content
There’s no rule that says compliance training solutions have to be created from the ground up. In fact, you can re-purpose existing assets to cut costs and development time. For example, there may be reusable resources in your library. Or vendors have a customer training repository where you can find video demos and tutorials to reduce safety risks. Some regulatory organizations even provide free resources to help your company with laws and industry standards.
No Clear Budget Or Implementation Schedule
You have a general idea of how much you can spend and when you need to launch your compliance training course. However, successful L&D programs are founded on spot-on budgets and schedules. Identify all the fees involved, including payroll, and develop a roll-out timeline. This is yet another reason to outsource. Since eLearning content providers have plenty of experience with planning and organization. They know how much time it takes to design content and how much you need to spend to bridge existing gaps.
Overlooking Compliance Risks
The most common reason that organizations launch compliance training programs is to eliminate potential risks. However, you need to identify all the workplace hazards and regulatory pitfalls before your project kicks off. Bear in mind that it’s not about hypothetical situations that might occur on the job. Effective compliance training targets relevant risks that employees should be aware of based on their duties. For instance, including worst-case scenarios apply unnecessary pressure and cause cognitive overload. They don’t have enough mental space to process all the information. As such, you need to focus on real-world risks and practical ways to avoid them.
