Why Does Compliance Training Suck? Artwork

Untangled - Simplifying Corporate Compliance

What happens when four compliance and ethics professionals get together virtually during a pandemic lockdown? They discuss the trials and tribulations of their roles, their daily experiences, and all the challenges faced in attempting to build effective compliance and ethics programmes in the pharmaceutical sector. Taking the complex world of compliance, the regulated environment of lifesciences and the confusing world of human behaviour, this podcast aims to distil the daily challenges into simple ideas that can be practically implemented, no matter the size, location or culture of the company in question.

Why Does Compliance Training Suck?

June 28, 2021 • Andriy Kirmach, Alex Davison, Jim Swift, Stephanie Wingrove • Season 1 • Episode 2

Your heart sinks, you just received an automated email informing you that it’s time for some mandatory compliance training. Why must you suffer through this? What did you do wrong? Never mind, perhaps you'll just be able to click "start" and then go and get a cup of tea whilst it plays in the background...

Despite best efforts, we all, including compliance professionals, dislike the majority of compliance training that we are subject to. In this episode of Untangled, Stephanie asks the team to share the good, the bad and the ugly of compliance training and to suggest some ways in which it can be more effective, less painful and, dare I even say, enjoyable.
