Is Your Compliance Training Changing Behaviors?
Changing behavior is the end goal of an effective compliance training program. However, Gallup data found that only one in 10 individuals who participated in ethics and compliance training within the past 12 months say they learned something that changed how they work. And fewer than 1 in 4 (23%) rated the training as “excellent.”
Unlike traditional, one-size-fits-all courses focused on memorizing laws and regulations, behavior-based training is proven to change behavior by immersing learners in interactive, real-world scenarios and challenges to help them practice and retain what they learn. The result is an engaging learning experience that employees actively participate in that builds positive workplace habits to maximize your training investment.
Practice Makes Perfect
One of the best ways to learn is by doing. Behavior-based training involves employees and managers in realistic scenarios that require making a choice about potential issues or conflicts and enabling them to see the outcome of their decisions. As a result, learners can reflect on their own behavior and begin building the right habits.
The scenario-based approach helps workers bridge the gap between the training experience and on-the-job applications. It also enables them to view the different perspectives of individuals through a wider lens to understand that not everyone sees things the same way. Creating these “aha” moments make the learner think, “Wow, I really never thought of it like that,” to initiate behavior change.
Training That’s “Sticky”
A good story connects people on an emotional level and holds their attention. Behavior-based training makes employees and managers an integral part of storytelling in short, relatable episodes to create a sticky learning experience.
Inserting learners into an interactive narrative where they must process and internalize content to perform authentic on-the-job applications provides a safe virtual environment to make mistakes and motivates them to choose to do the right thing.
Opting for behavior-based training enables organizations to realize their compliance program goals by taking advantage of advances and best practices in modern training design that are proven to affect workplace behavior and culture.
