It’s time to move beyond tick-box training. Here’s how to build, maintain and evidence lasting employee competence.
Mandatory learning is essential for managing risk and meeting regulatory requirements. But completing a course doesn’t guarantee employees will retain the knowledge, apply it correctly or make the right decisions when it matters.
So, how can organisations make mandatory learning more effective without simply adding more training?
Drawing on insights from a webinar discussion with Professor Tricia Riddell (Cosultant Neuroscientist and Director of Workforce Capability & Wellbeing) and Debbie Ives (Compliane Director) from Elephants Don’t Forget, and Dr Nigel Paine (Author and L&D Consultant), this practical playbook explores how neuroscience, compliance and organisational learning can help you move beyond completion rates and build lasting competence.
What you’ll learn:
- Why completion isn’t competence: Understand the limitations of completion rates and end-of-course assessments when it comes to measuring learning effectiveness.
- What makes learning stick: Discover how practice, reinforcement and relevance help employees retain and apply knowledge.
- The role of culture and leadership: Explore how managers, workplace culture and shared learning influence whether training translates into behaviour.
- How to move beyond blanket refreshers: Consider how to identify individual knowledge gaps and target support where it’s needed.
- How to build a continuous approach: Follow an eight-step framework for developing, reinforcing and assessing competence over time.
