Collaborating With SMEs to Build Better Compliance Programs

Compliance training drives workplace culture, risk prevention and employee success. But to achieve these important goals, the training has to connect with employees in a meaningful way.
Think of it like filmmaking. No amount of special effects can save a bad script. Similarly, compliance training needs strong content or the format, technology, design and interactivity will all fall flat.
This session explores how to build compliance programs that go beyond regulations, ensuring your training is both meaningful and impactful. Spoiler alert: artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t always the answer.
In this session, Jill James, chief safety officer at HSI, will cover how to identify essential collaborators, balance content with delivery formats and effectively engage subject matter experts (SMEs) to build impactful, comprehensive workplace compliance programs. She will also share practical ways to overcome common challenges that derail compliance programs.
In this session you will learn how to:
- Redefine “compliance training” so that it drives culture, not just meets regulations
- Identify key collaborators that can enable you to build more comprehensive workplace compliance
- Match content with the right delivery formats to drive engagement
- When and how to use SMEs in compliance programs
