Do you need to train your employees on laws that apply to their job or your industry?  Is your company trying to meet an industry ISO standard? Do you need to educate your teams on health and safety, security or diversity?

Define your business goals

What does you business need to achieve? It’s not just about employee performance!

1. Get your employees trained … without disrupting their daily work?
2. Use training sessions to get staff to connect (or at least come into the office)?
3. Have proof that the training was completed?
4. Have proof that the employee passed a test?
5. Learn why and how to follow a process?

Your goals direct your strategy. Online eLearning is easy to access, and is better for mental tasks. In-person events allow people to talk, meet and engage, are necessary for practicing physical tasks.

Methods of compliance training

1. “Live” Groups (either in-person or online)
2. “Live” individual training (Teams or Zoom)
3. Self-directed (online)
   1. Purchased SCORM course accessed via an internal LMS
   2. Custom course on an internal LMS you own and control
   3. Custom course on a cloud-based LMS like Thinkific or LinkedIn Learning.

What goes wrong

Each of the methods above has benefits (as the person selling them is quick to tell you). But each method comes with limits and costs . Over time every LMS gets so MESSY.

• Bits and pieces of training in PowerPoint!
• Server folders of saved Zoom videos
• Old PDFs, documents and forms
• Wordy handouts no-one reads
• You have to type results into several systems
• Risky imports and exports of employee data
• Impossible to update!
• Updating the LMS as you continue to add and change
• Paying for cloud-based solutions that offer limited options

Compliance training examples

• Substance Abuse
• Information Security
• Diversity Training

Steps to set up an in-person or online training course

• Identify each regulation you need to satisfy
• Evaluate the specific criteria within each regulation
• Create your course content (and keep it up to date)
  • Or acquire SCORM compliant course content from a safe source
• Deliver the courses to your staff via online or in-person group events.
• Build an assessment activity into the event
  • Or set up post-event tests
• Track each person’s attendance (or score) in your LMS, or in an HR system.
• Keep the course material up-to-date
• Maintain the LMS
