What Is Code of Conduct Central™?

Build Your Code of Conduct From Proven Modules — or Start From Scratch

Most organizations need the same core compliance topics in their Code of Conduct training. Conflicts of interest. Gifts and entertainment. Anti-corruption. Reporting a concern. Protecting confidential information.

Code of Conduct Central™ is a library of pre-built, scenario-based modules covering these topics — already animated, narrated, and compliance-ready. You choose the modules that match your risk profile, we make the adjustments to reflect your policies and culture, and you have a complete course in weeks rather than months.

Code of Conduct Central™ lets compliance teams build a tailored Code of Conduct training program with flexible, risk-aligned modules.

Two Ways to Build Your Code of Conduct

Option 1 — Build From Modules (Faster, Lower Cost) Choose from our library of pre-built compliance modules. Each module covers one topic, includes two to three realistic workplace scenarios, and features both male and female narrators throughout — adding variety and keeping employees engaged across a full course. We make script adjustments to reflect your specific policies, add your logo, hotline information, and leadership introduction, and deliver a complete SCORM-ready course.

Most module-based programs are delivered in two to four weeks.

Option 2 — Fully Custom Code of Conduct (Built to Your Specifications) If your organization has a unique risk profile, existing script, or specific compliance requirements that go beyond what our modules cover, we build your Code of Conduct from the ground up. This option takes longer and costs more — but delivers a course that is entirely yours, built around your language, your scenarios, and your culture.

Both options include your branding, hotline links, policy references, and an optional CEO or CCO introduction video.

What Each Module Looks Like

Each Code of Conduct Central™ module is a standalone microlearning unit, typically four to seven minutes in length. Every module is built around our core training philosophy: scenarios come first.

Rather than opening with policy explanation, each module places the employee inside a realistic workplace situation and asks them to make a decision. The lesson follows from the scenario — which means employees connect the rule to a real situation, not the other way around.

Every module includes:

• Two to three realistic decision scenarios
• Both male and female narrators across the course for variety
• Knowledge checks to reinforce understanding
• Policy alignment for your specific Code of Conduct
• SCORM delivery for your LMS

Select From Core Compliance Modules

Choose the topics that match your organization’s risk profile. Each module is built around realistic workplace scenarios — employees encounter a situation, make a decision, and see the consequences.

Conflicts of Interest — Recognize when personal relationships or outside interests overlap with professional responsibilities.

Gifts & Entertainment — Navigate the fine line between a professional courtesy and an improper influence.

Anti-Bribery & Anti-Corruption — Understand the global rules of the FCPA and how to identify the red flags of corruption.

Reporting & Non-Retaliation — Empower employees to speak up without fear, ensuring concerns are addressed early and safely.

Protecting Confidential Information — Protect trade secrets and non-public data from misuse or unintentional disclosure.

Proper Use of Company Resources & Systems — Ensure company technology and assets are used responsibly and securely.

Accurate Records & Reporting — Protect company integrity by ensuring every entry, expense, and report is honest, accurate, and transparent. (

Fair Competition Laws — Stay compliant with antitrust and competition rules while pursuing business goals aggressively but ethically.

Secure Workplace — Safeguard the innovations and assets that give your organization its competitive edge.

How It Works — From Selection to Delivery

Step 1 — Module Selection: Review the available modules and identify the topics that align with your Code of Conduct and risk profile. We can help you map your selection to your highest-risk areas if needed.

Step 2 — Script Review and Adjustments. We send you the existing module scripts. You review and mark any changes needed to reflect your specific policies, terminology, or culture. Most clients request minor adjustments — this is rarely a heavy lift.

Step 3 — Branding and Customization We add your logo, brand colors, hotline information, policy links, and any leadership introduction video.

Step 4 — Delivery We deliver your complete SCORM-ready course, assembled from your selected modules, ready for your LMS.

From Annual Training to Year-Round Reinforcement

Both the module-based and fully custom options can serve as the foundation of a continuous compliance program — not just a one-time annual course.

Once your Code of Conduct course is deployed, the same topics can be reinforced throughout the year using short, standalone scenario reminders. These are not new courses. They are brief two-to-three-minute decision scenarios — one topic, one situation, one judgment call — delivered monthly or quarterly to keep compliance expectations visible long after the annual training is complete.

This is the foundation of the Compliance Reinforcement Cycle™ — Xcelus’s approach to year-round compliance reinforcement.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Compliance should not be a once-a-year event. Many organizations deploy the modules and scenarios as part of a broader continuous compliance learning strategy to reinforce key principles throughout the year.

Instead of relying solely on annual certification, compliance leaders reinforce high-risk areas with focused refreshers and scenario-based learning moments throughout the year—strengthening culture, awareness, and decision-making under pressure.

One of our clients, Diversified — a global technology services company — built a complete Code of Conduct program using 15 modules, delivered through our interactive board game simulation platform. Each module was lightly modified to reflect its policies and culture. The result was a full, engaging compliance course deployed to their global workforce.

For organizations that want something faster and lighter, a focused program of eight to ten core modules covers the topics that appear in 90% of all Code of Conduct courses — conflicts of interest, gifts and entertainment, anti-corruption, reporting, confidentiality, and records — and can be deployed in a matter of weeks.
