From the time a user is added and registered in the LMS there are a variety of actions they are subject to or undertake, from being assigned roles, to being enrolled in Trainings, to being waitlisted, to being sent reminders, to being sent recommendations for trainings they may like.
If you are an enterprise with a large number of employees, who may at any time be enrolled in a variety of training programs, at different stages of completion, it becomes hard to keep up with the updates of the “who, where, when, and what” in an organized and efficient manner when it comes to their training progress.
The provision of a variety of email notification templates is a very useful tool for Administrators of an LMS, enabling them to decide when an email should be sent and to whom, and to customize it as they see fit. Additionally, learners also benefit from a wide range of email notifications, keeping them posted on their onboarding status, enrollments in Trainings, approaching deadlines, and even how their colleagues are faring on the leaderboard.

Compliance Training is one of the most challenging aspects of employee development. Despite their value, every employee dreads taking it. In this article, I demonstrate how Scenario Based Training can flip these mind-numbing courses around!
Unlike other trainings that help learners perform better and motivate them to take them, this is not the case with Compliance Trainings.
There’s no mistaking the significance that compliance has in the workplace. Whether mandated by legislation, regulation, or policy, these trainings serve to educate employees on the applicable rules/laws pertaining to their job – Important, yes. Entertaining, NO.
Here are the Top 3 Problems that lead to a complete disconnect from the learner when it comes to Compliance Trainings:
However, the right strategy (including Scenario Based Training and its varied applications) will help organizations achieve the mandate, without losing the learner.
Typically, the compliance mandate is to achieve adherence to guidelines/processes or bring in a change in thinking (eventually resulting in behavioral change). Scenario Based Learning can be leveraged very successfully to influence this conformance and impact adjustments in thinking/behavior dramatically.
I share 4 strategies where different variants of Scenario Based Training make Compliance Trainings compelling. For each strategy, I have added tips and examples to illustrate how we achieved the required results (conformance, change in thinking, or behavioral change).
Strategy 1 – Scenario Based Training for Compliance Training
Scenario Based Trainings shift the learning experience from passive to immersive. By creating a story that the employee can interact with, you place them directly into the action. Stories – featuring relatable characters in situations similar to real-life are probably the best eLearning practice you can implement to make the online Compliance Training interesting.
Tip – Factor for the following:
Example 1: Conflict of Interest
Objective: To create an immersive learning experience on how to manage workplace conflicts effectively.
Highlights of the Approach
Impact: We triggered the behavioral change due to the simulated story narrative – featuring real-life and relatable instances.
Strategy 2 – Scenario Based Training for Compliance Training
Scenario Based Training, with real-world experiences incorporated, helps your audience mesh the virtual world with on-the-job applications. If our goal is the exact change in behavior, we must bridge the gap between the training experience and the on-the-job application.
Tip – Utilize scenarios that are realistic and super-focused on your learning objectives; the employee is much more likely to apply that knowledge successfully in their workplace if they see the relationship and understand the reasoning behind “why comply.”
Example 2: Combating Bribery in Business
Objective: Build an integrated Compliance Training on Bribery and its impact on business.
Highlights of the Approach
Impact: We met the desired behavioral change mandate due to highly relatable learning and providing a clear understanding of the consequences of non-compliance (for the individual as well as the organization).
Strategy 3 – Scenario Based Training for Compliance Training
Making the employee an integral part of the narrative creates a sticky learning experience. One of the best ways to learn is To Do. Scenario Based Trainings can be utilized to mimic situations where compliance may be an issue. If the employee is given a chance to take a right/wrong action in the scenario, they will immediately see the impact of these choices.
Tip – Learning from mistakes in a safe, virtual environment is a great way to avoid costly risks in reality. By putting the employee in an online branching scenario, they can make choices in a given situation, respond to challenges, and even discover new ways to solve a problem.
Example 3: Global Financial Crimes
Objective: To develop a high-impact training to drive awareness on financial crimes.
Highlights of the Approach
Impact: We successfully used the simulated branched scenarios to provide the highest feasible degree of experiential learning.
Strategy 4 – Scenario Based Training for Compliance Training
Dropping the learner into a scenario is the perfect way to assess if they have actually processed and internalized the content. This assists in both aspects of learner development, understanding, and, more significantly, the application.
Tip – Present chunks of content within your scenario that allow the learner to critically think through the situation. Follow this up with a Gamification element or assessment to test the learner’s understanding and how it can actually be applied to the mandate you’re trying to achieve.
Example 4: Data Security
Objective: To reinforce primary training on Data Security using an innovative, active learning format.
Highlights of the Approach
Impact: We created maximum engagement and higher recall and retention value for learners.
As we saw thus far, Compliance Trainings are mandatory, but they don’t have to be mandatorily boring! I hope my article gives you several ideas on how to use Scenario Based Trainings to bring engagement, excitement, and, most importantly, behavioral change to these necessary courses.
