Visionary GRC e-learning tools and concepts to monitor compliance. - Skills-based compliance training
How the effective use of e-learning can transfer the skills necessary to embed a compliance culture – and how to measure the impact. There is a need for training to focus on the ‘skills’ that are required by their workforce to mitigate the risk of a compliance breach.
As compliance programmes mature around the world, evidence suggests that there is a corresponding evolution in what businesses and learners expect from their compliance training programmes and this certainly tallies with our own experience of evolving client expectations.
Learners are increasingly sophisticated in their use of and exposure to technology and expect their online learning experiences to keep pace with developments. Compliance professionals need training that meets the evolving needs of their learners and goes beyond a 'tick in the box'.

The best training efforts seldom transmit information; it actually cultivates compliant and ethical behaviour and decision-making in employees, which improves the effectiveness of the overall compliance programme.
As risk mitigation and protecting reputation emerge as the key drivers for implementing compliance training over and above an audit trail for defensibility, there is a need for training to focus on the ‘skills’ that are required by their workforce to mitigate the risk of a compliance breach.
The practical examples of the kinds of skills that compliance training needs to impart and suggesting some key indicators that will enable you to measure how effectively your training has transferred these skills into day-to-day working practices.
