Online Compliance Training Courses | NAVEX Global

Compliance training is focused on educating your employees on laws, regulations and internal policies (like your Code of Conduct) that they should understand and adhere to.

This could include training that covers any number of areas, including:

Anti-Bribery & Corruption
Ethics and Code of Conduct
Organisational Culture
Corporate Fraud
Conflicts of Interest
Cyber Security
Whistleblowing and Retaliation

Your industry may also have specific topics that need to be covered during regular employee trainings. For example, organisations in the pharmaceutical sector will have completely different compliance training needs compared to those in the financial sector. A good training programme will be tailored not just to your own unique organisation and its risk profile, but also to your specific industry.

The Benefits of Ethics and Compliance Training

When you invest in high-quality and risk-based compliance training, you’re protecting yourself and your organisation in three major ways:

Building a strong company culture and showing employees you take these matters very seriously as evidenced by the time the company and its key stakeholders take to train and their investment in quality content.
Ensuring employees are 100% clear on their roles and responsibilities as it pertains to your organization and its – and your employee’s individual – risk profile, you can reduce known risks and limit the impact of emerging risks.
Protecting yourself and your company, legally and financially, if an issue does arise by aligning to regulatory standards and expectations related to ethics and compliance programs, training, and activities.

Organisations that make compliance training a top priority will significantly lower the likelihood that wrongful conduct will take place. Unethical conduct can involve any level of employee, from part time staff to third party vendors to leadership. More importantly, compliance training programmes provide critical legal defense in nearly every key risk area.

The Financial Impact of Corporate Compliance Training

One of the most tangible reasons to protect your organisation with compliance training programmes is to reduce the massive costs associated with litigation due to unethical behaviour. However, beyond costs your company's reputation can be worth a lot more.

We live in an age where rumblings in the media and public about your company’s ethical culture do not simply go away. Fortunately, a comprehensive ethics and compliance training programme is one of the most effective ways to prevent reputational injury and show your audience and stakeholders that you’re committed to good conduct.

This can greatly impact many facets of your business, including:

Recruitment: The best prospects are looking for a compliant and ethical organisation. Compliance training helps your company stand out.
Retention: Employees are proud to work for an organisation that is committed to ethics and are less likely to “abandon ship” at times of uncertainty.
Future business: Attracting and retaining business is easier when your organisation is ethical from top to bottom. Like your employees, your business partners are proud to associate with ethical organisations.
