Compliance training

strategy for

beginners!

Technology and regulatory compliance are

two things that don't stay static. So, whether

you have a relevant training strategy or not,

here are a few hints and tips to help you stay

ahead.

• Culture is top down. If your senior leaders

don't support L&D, nor will your

management team or the rest of your

workforce. Your call to action is to

influence.

• Recruitment and induction. Is training and

learning mentioned? This is a great time to

influence your firm's culture and ethos.

Link to your firm's values or even consider

setting a companywide KPI (key

performance indicator) on the amount of

continuous personal development

required.

• Succession and career development

plans. These are another great way to

promote L&D. Do you know who your

future managers and leaders are?

How will you get them ready for the

roles?

Next let's look at how you deliver training.

There are many options… face to face,

internal, external, e-learning or a blend of all.

Don't use e-learning? Here are some points to

consider:

1. Ease, effectiveness and increased

completion rates

Moving training online is a great way to

increase ROI and improve efficiency as it

reduces admin time for your L&D teams.

Typically, completion rates increase when

moved online. Mobile and blended

approaches are easy to deploy and cost

effective. Completion rates are a primary way

to evaluate effectiveness and a great starting

point when considering how implementations

can be improved.

2. Learning and retention

If you are using e-learning, most good quality

courses have elements of gamification,

quizzing, audio, video and case studies. This

allows your employees to directly engage with

the topic thus increasing retention rates.
