How to Create Effective Business Ethics and Compliance Training Programs

Traditionally, organizations measured the effectiveness of compliance training and business ethics programs by studying attendance and completion rates.

Today, companies need to go beyond taking attendance to measure the success of their compliance training and corporate ethics programs. LRN, the leader in corporate ethics and online compliance training, believes that companies must inculcate an introduction to business ethics into their organizational cultures. The best compliance training and ethics training programs teach employees and management what constitutes unethical conduct – based on the company's code of 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.

LRN's research has shown that companies are most effective in creating effective professional business ethics and compliance training programs when they integrate the following five key elements into their curriculums:
