How to Create an Effective Compliance Training Program

Organizations used to rely on attendance records and course completion rates to measure the effectiveness of a compliance training program. That's no longer enough: a company now needs to do more than count course completions to ensure the value of its business ethics and compliance training program. LRN, the corporate ethics and corporate compliance training leader, posits that companies must weave a code of ethics into the fabric of its organizational culture.

The most effective compliance training program is one that motivates its workforce to live by a code of business conduct that reinforces corporate values such as integrity, respect and fairness. Building these values into an organizational culture teaches employees and management what constitutes unethical conduct so they can recognize and report it as well as affirm that they are not engaging in it and take responsibility for safeguarding a company's ethical culture.

Since 1993, LRN has found that creating a successful professional business ethics and compliance training program integrates five key elements:

• Obtain Senior Management buy-in and make them responsible for leading the compliance training program.
• Teach values in addition to compliance-related laws and rules to inspire principled behavior.
• The compliance training program is fun, thought-provoking and engaging. Encourage active participation.
• The compliance training program and business ethics education is professionally relevant and relatable to everyday work experiences.
• Ethics training and compliance training program is reinforced when employees apply their learning on the job.
