Traliant has always been at the forefront of modern compliance training, delivering leading-edge courses that combine cinematic storytelling with legal accuracy. Our courses are created with a Hollywood production team and reviewed by in-house legal and compliance experts with extensive experience in employment law.

This ensures our training keeps pace with the discerning tastes of modern learners while always staying credible, professional and impactful.
2. Enagagement with the right balance
Ethena emphasizes dynamic formats such as animations, audio training and graphic novels. These novel approaches can make training feel different – but tone matters, especially with sensitive topics like harassment or discrimination.

Employees aren’t just entertained; they reflect, discuss and retain lessons.

4. Accessibility and learner support

That means employees not only complete training that is accessible but also receive answers from legal experts that improve learning outcomes and help meet state law requirements.
5. Legal expertise you can trust

In contrast, at Traliant, you can see exactly who is behind our training. Every course is developed and reviewed by our in-house compliance team with deep employment law expertise. Our team includes a former US Department of Justice attorney and a former Assistant Attorney General. – a level of legal depth most providers cannot match.

Compliance requirements change quickly, and waiting months for updates can create gaps.
Traliant is often first to market with new courses and practical guidance– from executive orders to evolving diversity and inclusion mandates. Our customers can be confident they are never left behind when regulations shift.
7. Content efficiency that respects employee time
Ethena offers a large course library, with average course times of 34 minutes. But more content and longer run-times don’t always mean better outcomes.

Longer courses also pull employees away from their core work without improving retention.
Traliant’s courses are shorter and built with our compliance team to include all necessary information without overwhelming learners. By combining storytelling with innovative formats, we keep employees engaged, ensure key messages resonate and return them to their jobs faster – delivering compliance training that’s both effective and efficient.
