I have a tough truth for you: The audio in your compliance training course may not be doing what you hope it is doing. ‍Let me explain. 

Is keeping your compliance policies up to date a struggle? Or worse, is your compliance policy management process non-existent?

Do you ever feel like your compliance training program is just spinning its wheels? You feel like there must be a way to do things a little faster, a little more smoothly, a little more creatively? (Or a lot?) But, instead, everything feels like a slog, year after year? Well, you aren't alone.

Oh, the holiday season! It's a time filled with joy and hospitality, but it can also be a bit stressful for those of us in compliance.

Learning design is the application of best educational practices to online courses and training. It may also be referred to as instructional design or learning experience design. At Rethink, our writers and designers use these principles of learning design to inform our course creation.

Does your workplace increasingly feel like a big family holiday dinner gone very wrong, with heated debates over political beliefs? It’s undeniable: Politics are incredibly divisive today, affecting not only personal relationships but also professional environments. As news stories and social media narratives seep into office culture, employees may find themselves navigating uncomfortable conversations that can lead to conflict and a breakdown of respect.

It's nearly that time of year again — Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week! And we know that a big event — or series of events — like that doesn’t just happen. It takes a lot of sweat equity from compliance and ethics professionals. And we know that sometimes other priorities get in the way of having adequate time to plan for a week of activities, promotions, and information highlighting compliance.

At Rethink Compliance, we are dedicated to empowering real change – for our clients, in our industry, and in our clients’ workplaces. For our 2024 Compliance & Ethics Program Benchmarking Survey, Rethink Compliance partnered with Radical Compliance to create a comprehensive survey focused on data & systems and testing & monitoring.

To date, there has been little benchmarking of data & systems and testing & monitoring, and we’re excited to start a conversation in the industry on these often-overlooked topics.

Regulators, learners, and compliance professionals agree — more is NOT better when it comes to compliance training. We all know that a smart, short piece can have far more impact than a long, legalistic training. But sometimes getting there seems easier said than done.
