Compliance training is about as ubiquitous as training can get; most organisations have to deliver on at least some form of mandatory training to ensure they are operating legally. It\u2019s not new. We\u2019ve all got to do it. But in so many contexts it\u2019s just inadequate. Learners hate it. You probably hate it too.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But if we get it wrong, compliance training has real potential to fail the very people it\u2019s designed to protect. At best, your learners are bored, disengaged and uninterested. At worst, it can cost people their lives. So why are we treating compliance like the black sheep of the learning world?<\/p>\n

Boring your learners is risky business<\/h2>\n

Did you know that in 2020 38.8 million working days were lost due to work-related ill health and non-fatal workplace injuries<\/a>? Much of this could have been prevented with a considered and modern approach to compliance training and risk minimisation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen it time and time again. Critical compliance training isn\u2019t given the due care and attention it deserves. Organisations serve up lengthy, boring elearning modules and tedious, tenuous two-day classroom sessions. These approaches get bums on seats and fingers a\u2019clickin, but they lose learners\u2019 hearts and minds.<\/p>\n

These types of learning experiences are a sure-fire way to disconnect with our people, which is incredibly problematic for any learning intervention, but especially so for compliance. That\u2019s because if they\u2019re bored, they\u2019re not paying attention. If they\u2019re not paying attention, they\u2019re not learning. And if they\u2019re not learning, how can we expect them to put this into practice on the job?<\/p>\n

When it comes to compliance, employees and their <\/em>needs are not catered for or prioritised. By not focusing on the experiences they\u2019re having when they\u2019re learning, we\u2019re losing our learners at the first hurdle. And risk is increasing as a consequence.<\/p>\n

How to bring compliance training back to life<\/h2>\n

Putting our learners first is one of the most missed areas of compliance training. What\u2019s going to pique their interest? How are we going to keep them engaged if there is a huge volume of information to work through? What is the most optimal way to help them learn?<\/p>\n

Our latest ebook<\/a> highlights five key ways to inject some life into your compliance training strategies to ensure your people are protected, safe and most importantly, learning. Let\u2019s explore three of them here.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Get their attention<\/h3>\n

There’s a lot of talk about the dwindling attention spans of today\u2019s workforce at the moment. But this isn\u2019t strictly true. It\u2019s not that attention spans are diminishing, the issue is that there is more vying for our attention now than ever before. And we – as humans – quite simply do not have the capacity to pay attention to it all. So that means your training offering (yes, even the compliance part) is competing with your learner\u2019s day job, news publications, social media, their children, mortgage and so much more.<\/p>\n

Find out how to get their attention and keep it in the ebook.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Blend it better<\/h3>\n

Often L&D professionals fall victim to thinking one learning intervention is sufficient. But this will never change behaviour. And when the topic is as critical as most compliance training is – changing behaviour should be the priority. Which is why blended learning is always a great approach to compliance training.<\/p>\n

Use our ebook to discover how to create modern blended learning solutions which get results.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Ignite their emotions<\/h3>\n

Learner emotions are often overlooked in training – especially when it comes to mandatory or compliance topics. But if you tap into learner emotions, you\u2019ll be engaging your people on a deeper, more meaningful level. The truth is your learners do not care about compliance training. They aren\u2019t going to be self-motivated to get up and complete the latest mandatory course.<\/p>\n

Learn how to engage and connect with your people by downloading the ebook today.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to get better results from your mandatory training, burn the rule book. Break (or at least bend) the rules that you\u2019ve created for compliance and instead look to your learners. Focus on engaging them and making their experiences fun and memorable. Focus on connecting them with risk in a meaningful way. Focus on them.<\/p>\n

We promise you, the results will speak for themselves.<\/p>\n
