Ep 24 - Compliance Is Ruining Our Fun

This podcast episode discusses the challenges of compliance training within the Learning and Development (L&D) function. The speaker argues that compliance training is more suited for operations rather than L&D, as it serves a functional role focused on risk reduction instead of improved outcomes. Compliance training is seen as a necessary evil, often given minimal attention or outsourced to off-the-shelf providers, leading to disengagement and a negative perception of training. There is a disconnect between the expectations set and the actual outcomes of compliance training, resulting in a loss of trust and a need for a more authentic and relevant approach. The speaker suggests having conversations with operations managers and COOs to explore the possibility of moving compliance training out of L&D.
