Nowadays, compliance training has never been more important, yet it’s more difficult than ever to make it memorable. As a corporate trainer, you\u2019re fighting all kinds of distractions. From the phones of new employees to the \u201creal work\u201d current employees deem more time-sensitive than your long video course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even so, employees often find themselves in sticky compliance situations. They can be unsure of what to do, who to turn to, and experience a fear of retaliation if they come forward. Maybe they saw something between colleagues, but aren\u2019t sure if it’s harassment. Or a friend asks about work, but an employee isn’t sure how their answer impacts company security. <\/p>\n\n\n

1. Microlearning the Right Way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most likely, your training videos are too long. I know! You have SO MUCH to cover, and every nugget of information feels critical. But in reality, if you can keep it short and conduct microlearning, you’re golden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your audience having the attention span of a goldfish, you’ll need to find a way to say everything you need, but in simple, short spurts. You might be familiar with the term microlearning<\/a><\/em>, but keep in mind, microlearning isn’t just about making shorter videos.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microlearning is about creating short learning sessions that are IMMEDIATELY followed by ways employees can use critical thinking to process what they just learned. Maybe that’s a short quiz, a role-play (if part of a group training), or a scenario to think of a solution for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
