Three Benefits of Refreshing Your Compliance Training

In today's evolving compliance landscape, training is not just a box to check – it’s a key component of mitigating risk and fostering a culture built on respect and inclusivity.  

But the traditional approach of static, one-size-fits-all compliance training is becoming increasingly outdated. By regularly updating or “refreshing” your content, you can stay ahead of the curve.  

Here are three specific ways refreshed compliance training can benefit your organization: 

#1 - Sustaining Learner Engagement 

Imagine sitting through the same compliance training year after year – no matter how great the training is, it can start to feel stale.  

By updating your training to include fresh insights, you make it easier for learners to actively engage with the concepts. This not only makes the experience more enjoyable but helps learners better retain and apply their knowledge.  

What might this look like? Swapping out scenarios is an impactful way to reenergize your learners and provide new ways of examining concepts.  

#2 - Adapting to Regulatory Updates and Best Practices 

Staying compliant with ever-changing regulatory requirements requires constant vigilance. Stagnant training can become outdated, leaving you vulnerable to compliance breaches.  

Regularly refreshing content means that your training is always up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements and industry best practices and trends.  

For example, The CROWN (Creating An Open and Respectful World for Natural Hair) Act was first signed into law in California in 2019 to prevent racially based hair discrimination. Since then, 23 states have enacted the law. Including a CROWN-related scenario in your harassment prevention training ensures this critical development is reflected throughout your organization.  

#3 – Contributing to a Culture of Compliance Excellence 

Refreshing content sends a clear message that compliance training isn’t merely a requirement, it’s a strategic priority and a shared value for your firm.  

When you provide employees with up-to-date, engaging content, you reinforce your commitment to a culture of compliance and ethical conduct.  

When the refreshed course is made available each year, consider publicizing the launch throughout the firm to drive momentum. This might include sending a series of launch e-mails, asking firm leadership to promote the course, or hosting a webinar to explain some of the key updates.
