Compliance training is crucial for your organization and learners—it educates them on essential laws, regulations, and policies, ensuring they understand their legal and ethical duties. Compliance training is not optional: your learners need to understand the rules and regulations that impact their work, and be able to apply that information to their daily tasks.
Many organizations struggle to create compliance that meets both:

But don’t just take our word for it: see for yourself how Custom Learning worked with SunWing Airlines to overhaul their employee compliance training and boost their compliance rates.
Air travel is a highly regulated industry, and airline employees need to understand the ever-changing regulations that keep their work safe, secure, and efficient. Sunwing is required to administer a 50-page, 200-question workbook to its employees in addition to in-classroom work. Their previous solution was a physical version of this workbook, which cost both learners and administrators valuable time filling out and marking countless pages of work.
They knew they needed a new approach but weren’t sure how they could create an effective alternative on their own. With the help of our Custom Learning experts, we carefully assessed the best way to administer this documentation and developed a digital version of the workbook that allowed automation and multimedia capabilities to boost engagement and accessibility. This not only saved Sunwing money in the long run but also reduced the environmental impact of their training.

After switching the physical version of their handbook to a digital format, Sunwing reported increased compliance rates for their employees, reaching their goal of 100% compliance. Years on from working with Custom Learning, Sunwing still relies on their digital workbook to help employees ensure they’re adhering to the rules and regulations that impact their work:

To make compliance training engaging, organizations should focus on language that will resonate with learners as well as context. They should show employees their personal relevance through real-world scenarios and interactive elements. Leveraging storytelling makes the material relatable and practical. This approach helps build skills and empowers employees rather than just fulfilling a requirement.
Tailor training to specific job roles and accommodate various learning styles with multiple formats. Consideration should be given to whether materials need to be accessed across different devices, including mobile, and whether flexible access should be allowed. Organizations must also consider their objectives, resources, and technology infrastructure to ensure learner expectations are met.
Measuring effectiveness involves moving beyond completion rates to assess actual knowledge retention and application, often through quizzes, simulations, and tracking on-the-job behavior. Organizations use assessment results and feedback to refine training and identify knowledge gaps. Learning Management Systems (LMS) are vital for providing analytics that demonstrate compliance and help reduce liability.
To ensure compliance training remains relevant and effective, organizations should treat it as an ongoing process with a formal annual review and update cycle. The cadence of this training is often tied directly to the compliance requirement itself, such as the need to show that a team has been trained on WHMIS every year. This continuous approach is best supported by methods like microlearning for regular reinforcement, and by deploying supplementary or refresher training whenever regulations change to keep knowledge current and effective.
