Meet HR Compliance Requirements – Then Go Beyond Them

While there are rules regarding HR training, these should be seen as a starting point – there’s plenty of room for extra value to come from these programs.

Regulatory compliance is just the start of great HR training.

Compliance training sessions overseen by human resources have a clear mission statement embedded in their name: They exist to ensure companies comply with regulations demanding they maintain fair, equitable and welcoming workplaces. This shouldn’t be where the lessons end, however. HR training that obeys the letter of the law, but does no more, may not adequately prepare employees to deal with issues such as harassment. Rather than just creating compliant workplaces, leaders should treat their legal requirements as a baseline and strive to create exemplary office cultures.
