Corporate employees engaged with training

Is your compliance training keeping up in 2026?

Author: BLR

In today’s workplace, training is more than a compliance obligation, it’s a measurable competitive advantage. According to eLearning Industry, employees who complete formal training programs are 21% more productive and 17% more profitable. When your teams stay engaged, your culture grows stronger.

These results reinforce what HR, EHS, and L&D leaders already know: engaged learners perform better, retain more, and help organizations stay compliant amid constantly evolving regulations. Regulations shift throughout the year and every update brings new expectations. You need a solution that keeps pace without adding administrative stress. .

TrainingToday® supports this work with more than 800 expert-built, continuously updated courses for HR compliance training and safety compliance training. Your people get current, accurate learning and your organization gets reliable protection.

Compliance that keeps up with you

Regulatory requirements evolve quickly. New state anti-harassment laws, updated OSHA standards, and workplace violence prevention rules can shift without warning. Compliance leaders must ensure that training content is accurate, current, and defensible across all departments and locations.

TrainingToday solves this challenge with always-current, expert-reviewed eLearning content. Every course is developed and reviewed by BLR’s in-house legal editors and subject matter experts who monitor changes to federal, state, and industry regulations. When a rule or standard changes, the affected courses update automatically. Your employees receive the right version every time and you stay audit ready with confidence.

“Our prior LMS was really hard to use. TrainingToday’s LMS is much more user-friendly, offers fresh course content, and is cost-effective.”

Engagement that drives information retention

Effective compliance training works when it keeps employees engaged and supports how they actually learn. TrainingToday courses use interactive scenarios, knowledge checks, and gamified elements to keep learning engaging and rewarding.

Litmos reports that 83% of employees feel more motivated when training includes gamification, and organizations that invest in interactive learning see stronger retention and on-the-job performance.

When employees feel connected to the learning experience, they absorb information faster and apply concepts more effectively in daily work.

How to implement a compliance training program

TrainingToday course assignment flowchart

Rolling out compliance training to your team requires more than assigning courses; it takes planning, communication, tracking, and reinforcement. Here’s a step-by-step approach that HR and EHS leaders can use to ensure a smooth and impactful launch:

1. Identify mandatory requirements

Determine which courses are required based on federal regulations such as OSHA, DOL, and EEOC, along with any state-specific mandates like harassment prevention and any industry or role-based requirements for your workforce. TrainingToday’s continuously updated library makes this step simple by ensuring you always assign the correct, current content.

2. Build role based learning paths

Create tailored paths based on role, department, location, and risk exposure. Learning Paths allow you to combine compliance and professional development in one flow.

3. Communicate expectations clearly

Share deadlines, why training matters, what learners can expect and share instructions for accessing the LMS. TrainingToday’s learner dashboard supports a smooth start.

4. Automate assignments and reminders

Use your LMS to assign courses based on role or location, schedule recurring deadlines, and send automated reminders and escalations. TrainingToday automates these steps to reduce administrative workload.

5. Monitor progress in real time

Track completion rates, complance gaps, overdue courses, and team performance. TrainingToday’s Quick Reports, Compliance Summary, and Course dashboards give clear visibility.

6. Reinforce learning for long-term retention

Use periodic micro reminders, follow up assessments, badges, and certificates. TrainingToday’s Boost feature and new accomplishments dashboard help keep employees motivated.

7. Report outcomes and celebrate success

Share compliance readiness, completion metrics, and team progress with leadership. Celebrate early completions and recognize strong participation. This builds a healthy learning culture.
