I’ve never liked compliance training. I’ve always seen it as a burden, just one more thing piled on top of the to-do list.
Then again, the training I was subjected to in previous jobs wasn’t the type we’re spotlighting in this special report. It was never customized to my particular role and responsibilities; to the specific challenges I faced on a daily basis. It didn’t present scenarios that made me think; that challenged my assumptions about a particular topic or set of rules. Because most of it wasn’t even relevant to me, it felt, frankly, tedious and a waste of my time. I’d do the bare minimum to get through it and pay attention just enough to correctly answer the obligatory easy questions at the end. I’d print my “Certificate of Completion,” post it ironically in my cubicle, and be done with it.
