Admit it, online compliance training doesn't exactly boast an epic reputation. The reliance on completion rates as the gold standard, despite recent DOJ warnings, hasn't helped. So, let's dive into the pitfalls tarnishing this essential practice to protect our organizations.

1️⃣ Mistake - Marathon Training Sessions

Keep it simple: training shouldn't be an endurance test. Opt for bite-sized content and more frequent sessions to achieve specific learning objectives efficiently.

2️⃣ Mistake - The Relevance Dilemma

From language style to images, make it all relatable. Even off-the-shelf training needs a touch of customization. No one wants to feel like a stranger navigating through content.

3️⃣ Mistake - The Groundhog Day Syndrome

Why enroll colleagues in the same content year after year? Break the cycle (if there is a compliant alternative). Update, change, or introduce opt-out questions for competent learners. Let's make repetition a thing of the past.

4️⃣ Mistake 4 - Coordination Conundrum Across Teams

Compliance & Ethics isn’t (increasingly) the lone ranger in mandatory training. Team up (e.g., HR, Security), produce a unified training calendar, and bid farewell to duplication. Unify, identify repetitive content, and streamline your training efforts.

5️⃣ Mistake #5 - Targeting Without Precision

Mandatory for all? Tempting, but not always right. Identify the audiences within your organization where training is truly relevant and necessary. Quality over quantity is the golden rule.

Avoid these missteps, and watch the rise of online compliance training (reputation) in your organization. 🚀⚙️
