An important function of every in-house legal department is to provide compliance and ethics training to its non-legal clients – that is, the organization's employees. Effective training on pertinent laws and regulations can help prevent and detect legal problems, and can also limit or mitigate the organization's exposure if violations occur. This program will provide practical guidance for (i) developing training content that conveys the essential information to the employees who need it, (ii) delivering that information in a comprehensible and engaging manner, (iii) ensuring that all employees who should be trained actually receive their training, and (iv) tracking these activities in order to prove up each employee's training participation if/as needed. Attendees will leave this program with ACC resources that will jump-start your training and save you time and money.
