Compliance Training Becomes Increasingly Important in the Wake of the Economic Crisis
In the wake of the economic crisis, it has become imperative for companies to ensure that their employees are aware of and compliant with regulations governing their industries.

Paris based telecommunications giant, Alcatel, was recently in the news for being fined an estimated $130 million for paying bribes to consultants in Central America and Southeast Asia. An article by the McKinsey Quarterly reports that the pharma industry has lost in excess of $700 million in fines since 2001, not to mention the billions companies have lost in revenues as a result of bad publicity.
As the economic recession continues to wreak havoc across industries, companies are now realizing the importance of sensitizing their staff with compliance issues through compliance training ( http://www.complianceonline.com ). The need to be made aware of regulations governing their respective industry spans employee levels, right from the lower and middle rung to CEOs and Managing Directors.
Thanks to the internet, it doesn’t cost much for the end user to bring out the misdeeds of companies out in the open. Besides helping companies safeguard their interests and reputation, a compliance program also helps companies ensure that they follow ethical business practices. It also helps create an atmosphere where quality comes first and it is the duty of every employee, including senior leaders, to ensure that they are accountable for their actions.
Every compliance training program involves three basic areas: compliance with respect to the law governing the industry, compliance in terms of business practices and compliance with respect to occupational health and safety hazards.
“A lot of companies are now realizing that it’s better to bear the cost of compliance training than to bear the cost of corporate fraud, not to mention the legal costs involved in a corporate fraud,” says a spokesperson for ComplianceOnline, a company that imparts online regulatory compliance training to professionals and employees.
Healthcare compliance, OSHA compliance, laboratory compliance, clinical compliance, compliance in banking, financial services and insurance…the list of issues that corporate companies should be compliant with are varied and complex.
