So we in the L&D department are put in the unenviable position of selling the unsellable to our colleagues. To do so, we typically resort to a couple of irreproachable messages:
Both are valid reasons to do compliance training, but they shouldn’t be our primary drivers.
Confused? Let me explain by urging you to adopt a different perspective…
Imagine for a moment there was no such thing as compliance legislation; no regulatory agencies scrutinising your every move; no auditors to appease; no obligation whatsoever to do any compliance training of any kind. Would you still support it?
If your answer is “no”, I am astounded.
I can only infer that you don’t really care about:
Even if you are devoid of ethics, another compelling argument exists in favour of compliance training…
For example, what would happen if:
I’ll tell you for free: your business will suffer.
So our gripe shouldn’t be about doing compliance training – it should be about doing it better.
