On this week’s episode, Tom’s guest Avi Singer talks about how to make it easier for employees to understand and complete compliance training. Compliance training refers to the process of educating employees on laws, regulations, and company policies that apply to their day-to-day job responsibilities. The goal is for everyone in an organization to have compliance training, and for it to be frictionless for employees to access and complete.
Avi Singer is the founder and CEO of Showd.me, a company that is helping organizations provide remote and on-demand compliance training solutions, specifically in the healthcare space. He is extremely passionate about highlighting the importance of compliance training, noting that it is often required in order for organizations to comply with regulations. He is described by his colleagues as a “bright professional who can understand complex business solutions and offer creative solutions to problems.”

- Avi highlights the importance of bystander intervention and mandated reporting in potentially harmful situations and the best way to execute it in a clear and nuanced fashion.
- If additional training or intervention is required, Avi says, companies should have an HR person who can help address investigations and create policies around compliance.

- The goal is for everyone in an organization to have compliance training, and for it to be frictionless for employees to access and complete, Avi says.
- Cost savings can be achieved by reducing liability and risk, as well as by making compliance part of the normal training process.
KEY QUOTE:
“You don’t have to be perfect. I think that our training is not like, ‘Hey, you need to know the nuances of harassment or the nuances of what constitutes the mandatory reporter situation or what constitutes abuse’. It’s more like, ‘The law says if you see this going on you have to do something’.” – Avi Singer
