Compliance begins with the Business Code of Conduct and Ethics training course.

Implementing a culture of compliance begins with your company’s Business Code of Conduct and Ethics Training course. The Xcelus Code of Conduct training course serves as a starting block to bring awareness to specific compliance policies and procedures. The online training course reviews the principles, values, standards, and rules of behavior to help guide the decisions of your organization’s employees, directors, and officers.

Build your Business Code of Conduct and Ethics Training course with Xcelus’ LimeSmart microlearning courses.

Step 2 Select modules

Step 3 Add Summary

Most of our clients like to take our core course and customize it to their specific company compliance policies.  All Xcelus online training courses are available in HTML5 SCORM format for your LMS or video format.

Or lets do something unique for your company’s Code of Conduct training

A customized course is more than adding a logo, linking to policies, and guidance to hotlines. Xcelus includes that in every Code of Conduct basic course. Xcelus offers three types of customization – Basic, Standard, or Ultimate.

When it comes to compliance risk every company is unique. That is where customized, or bespoke courses, have a major advantage over off-the-shelf courses. A customized course can be targeted to cover in-depth topics that keep a Chief Compliance Officer up at night. Customized compliance training courses can focus specifically on the risks a company is trying to mitigate. These courses can include appropriate risk scenarios that employees face in their day-to-day work environment, rather than generic scenarios that might not be relevant to a company’s business model.

Another distinct advantage of a custom course is greater emphasis can be placed on specific compliance topics. Focus topics identified and targeted by an individual company’s risk analysis can be highlighted and emphasized.

The basic course includes:

  • Xcelus course script
  • Minor script edits for reporting, hotline, etc.
  • Current course scenarios
  • Simple animation format

The standard course includes:

  • Xcelus course script
  • Minor script edits for reporting, hotline, etc.
  • Replace basic course scenarios with custom course scenarios.
  • Simple animation format

The ultimate course includes:

  • Custom course script
  • Custom course scenarios.
  • Simple animation format or custom design

Don’t forget to promote your Code of Conduct and Business Ethics training

If compliance training was more like a marketing campaign, designed to influence the audience to change behaviors, a Code of Conduct training campaign would look like the following:

1. Code of Conduct compliance overview Course (30-45 Minutes., Week 1)
2. Gifts and Hospitality compliance reminder video – targeted workplace scenario video (90 sec., Week 2)
3. Conflict of Interest compliance reminder video – targeted workplace scenario video (90 sec., Week 4)
4. Social Media compliance reminder video – targeted workplace scenario video (90 sec., Week 6)
5. Non-Retaliation compliance reminder video – targeted workplace scenario video (90 sec., Week 8)

In just five short compliance training touchpoints over a short period of time, your employees will know about your Code of Conduct policy. Notice that the reminder content is less than 90 seconds. If your reminder videos are well-produced, short, and relevant, employees will more likely view the content.

This type of training program also shows auditors that you have a robust compliance training program rather than simply a stated policy and a “once and done” training program.

There are many other touchpoints you could add to your training campaigns, such as employee desk-drops (Post Cards) and compliance posters in hallways and break-rooms. They all help remind employees and create the culture of compliance that government regulations require.

How many compliance touchpoints do your employees get each year about your Code of Conduct policies?

If you are wondering what a compliance reminder video is, below is a sample reminder video:
