Each organization has unique training needs based on factors like the company’s size, industry, or location. But one training need that all organizations have in common is creating compliance courses that satisfy legal or regulatory requirements. 

Compliance training covers various topics—such as harassment, cyber security, and ethics. To put it mildly, those aren’t always the most exciting topics for learners. As a course creator, it’s your job to spice things up and transform that dry content into an engaging course learners might actually enjoy.
