We're all familiar with it: the mandatory training courses that our employer “lets us do” to make sure that we, as an organisation, comply with all laws and regulations. Most of the time, these workouts are boring, very theoretical, and take an indefinitely long time (at least, that's what it feels like).
But, can it also be done differently?
Definitely!
It starts with our mindset about how we think about compliance training. “Does our employer let us do this?” or can we also see opportunities for growth as an employee of a company? What forms of compliance training are available? How do they work? What can they bring us as a company? And what important role does e-learning play in this? We answer all these questions in this blog.
Compliance training contributes to developing and ensuring a safe and ethical workplace. Compliance training programs can include cybersecurity, ergonomic working and government regulations, for example.
Compliance training is important to ensure the values and standards of the company or organisation and to ensure that all employees are aware of and comply with all laws and regulations.
When employees have to take the time to find the solution to a problem they didn't learn during compliance training, employee and company productivity suffers.
Good compliance training saves time and money in the long run.
Of course, if an organisation is in the news because employees are being harassed or the government imposes sanctions for poor compliance practices, this does not contribute to the motivation to appear “ready to go” at work every day. Compliance training ensures that everyone is on the same page and prevents incidents that can negatively affect employee morale.
It also sends an important message to employees that the company takes certain things (such as employee safety) seriously.
Well-run organisations that follow the law and don't make headlines for the wrong reasons are more likely to attract talent.
Companies with solid training programs (compliance and others) are attractive to today's employees.
Good training ensures consistency among employees in what they know and how they respond to a compliance situation. This results in fewer compliance incidents that need to be addressed, which is at the same time more efficient for the company and gives confidence to employees who know how to tackle whatever comes their way.
E-learning offers organisations the opportunity to really go “next level” in offering compliance training. Why?
Some people like to read, others prefer to listen. The more options you give employees to follow compliance training in an accessible and enjoyable way, the greater the “uptake”. E-learning makes this possible!
In addition to offering various types of content, it's crucial to create an interactive learning experience. Many organisations use gamification to develop an attractive compliance training program. With a “choose-your-own-adventure” scenario, for example, employees discover the consequences of their actions themselves through compelling digital storylines. Interactive quizzes and exercises also invite employees to actively participate in the training program by applying their new knowledge.
In this way, new concepts are repeated, making it more likely that the information from the training will be remembered.
The more the student can relate to what they have learned, the greater the chance that learning will be meaningful to them. How do the teaching materials relate to their daily lives? To their daily work practice? What will this e-learning offer the student in concrete terms? Why should they invest time and energy in this? Make this as clear as possible from the start and make this connection wherever you can. Virtual Reality can play an important role in this.
