Customization to Support Your Culture

Too often, compliance training feels one-size-fits-all.

While the purpose behind training is important, oftentimes the execution doesn’t quite connect with your employees. It can feel disconnected, basic and generic: set in a corporate office featuring someone reciting what you should or shouldn’t do. It rarely explores the gray areas employees actually face and can overlook the nuances of different workplaces, cultures, roles or valu

EDF Renewables North America needed help “in engaging with different types of employees. That includes employees that work in corporate offices, but then also having content that’s relative for our field workers,” says Alexa Cordell, Senior Manager of Learning Technology.

Looking for a better way

Many begin organizations customize training by adding their logo and company policy to pre-made training. It’s a great first step, but it may not be enough to truly resonate with employees.

“Some of the trainings we looked at were more corporate driven, and they didn’t feel very relevant to our particular employee base,” says Gwen Bohlender, Senior Director of HR at Smashburger.

Employees are more engaged when they can relate to the content and see how it applies to their roles. Even small touches, like using the right tone or reflecting company values, can make a difference. And when training feels tailored to your people, not just assigned to them, it’s more likely to make an impact.

A custom fit for your culture

The way you approach compliance training can make a big difference. When the tone, visuals, and scenarios reflect your organization’s culture and values, employees are more likely to connect with the content. That connection can create a lasting impact.

For some companies, incorporating branding and internal policies is enough. For others, it may mean tailoring examples to reflect common situations within their company or industry. Whether the approach is simple or more complex, having the flexibility to customize training can lead to a more relevant, meaningful experience for your employees.

At Traliant, we offer different levels of customization to meet your organization where you are, whether it’s adding branding and internal policies or developing new scenarios that reflect real-world challenges. This flexibility helps your organization deliver training that feels both relevant and authentic.

“I really love the customization options. There almost wasn’t anything we couldn’t do,” said Aaron Olsen, Vice President and Associate General Counsel at DigiCert.

We also offer industry-specific versions of key courses, such as harassment prevention and workplace violence prevention training, so that employees see examples and situations that feel familiar to their work environment.

When employees see their own workplace reflected in training, they’re more likely to engage — and it reinforces not just compliance, but the culture behind it.

Bringing it all together

With the right customization approach, compliance training can do more than check a box. It can support your culture, reflect your values, and make a lasting impact across your organization.
