Most of the discussion around getting people to complete their compliance training focuses on the rank and file employee.  Yet, getting management to complete the training, and making it relevant for them is an equally important challenge.

Without management on board, it’s hard to gain their support for the compliance program, and, at the same time, the management team may have very different training needs.

In this podcast Jason Lunday, Vice President of Product Development, Advisory Services at Syntrio provides insights in how your training can better serve the needs of leadership, and gain their support for workforce training.  Jason addresses:

  • Making the most of your time with leadership
  • Communicating effectively the value that comes from compliance training
  • The pain that comes from not being properly trained and lacking essential compliance skills
  • Discussing compliance from the perspective of its effect on strategy
  • The importance of making sure that leaders understand their role in influencing employees
  • Determining the best method for training
  • Challenging perspectives, and
  • Avoiding the mistakes that can turn off leadership.

  1. Indeed, the senior people can be the most dangerous in terms of actual compliance risk. When you read the Wall Street Journal, the corporate wrongdoing stories are often about the top dogs, not the day-to-day workers. While the bosses might support training the workers, they often don’t see that they need the training at least as much if not more than the workers. I would suggest that before you launch compliance training toward the working folks you first test it out on the top leaders. Have them serve as the models for taking the training and for applying the compliance program’s controls and standards to themselves first. Cheers, Joe

  2. Terrific points, Joe! Indeed, any company would be well served by your suggestion to run leadership through training. If it’s good, they’ll be a company’s strongest advocate for the training’s value and build interest organically.
