Signed Doesn’t Mean Understood: Why a Code of Conduct isn’t Enough
Ethics and Compliance
In today’s fast-moving world, where rules and regulations are constantly evolving, staying ahead isn’t easy. With modern workforces spanning cities, states and even countries, ensuring your compliance training is accurate and relevant for every employee — wherever they’re working — is a growing challenge. What’s compliant in one state may not be in another. What passed last year might already be out of date.
For HR leaders, the pressure is real — and it’s relentless.
Bernadette Commisa, Director of HR and Learning at Barnes & Noble, put it plainly:
“We operate in all 50 states, each with different requirements. We needed a solution that could handle flexibility and offer relevant content.”
It’s a sentiment echoed across industries. As organizations become busier and more complex, and regulations continue to shift, keeping training up to date can feel like a full-time job in itself.
Searching for a better solution
Many organizations start out thinking they can manage compliance training internally — after all, how hard could it be? But as laws shift and multiply across regions, the task becomes harder to track, harder to manage, and much harder to get right. Soon, teams aren’t sure if their training is still compliant.
And knowing where to start can be just as overwhelming.
Aaron Olsen, Vice President & Associate General Counsel at Digicert, shared his experience:
“After we acquired our competitor, we had an instant global workforce. We had to have a better, more comprehensive training solution.”
This is when many organizations realize they need more than just a vendor — they need a strategic partner. One that delivers training that stays up to date with the latest regulations, no matter where employees are located — and without adding more to already stretched teams.
Feeling confident about compliance
When an organization finds a compliance partner that helps them stay continuously compliant, it makes a world of difference. Instead of managing multiple versions of training for employees in different locations, they gain a simple, easy-to-use solution that makes their jobs easier.
At Traliant, our in-house team of legal experts bring extensive experience in employment law — working to ensure our courses stay compliant with evolving federal, state and local regulations. The result? Peace of mind for your organization, both now and in the future.
That’s exactly the kind of solution Petco found with Traliant.
“Traliant has been fantastic, not just in the U.S., but also helping determine what would be the best approach globally,” says JT Mitchell, former ER & Culture Strategist at PetCo
For busy HR teams, having a truly comprehensive solution can be a game changer.
Husain Umrethwala, the Compliance Managing Director at Havas, summed it up:
“Traliant’s training is very detailed, insightful, and comprehensive. They cover everything we need to stay compliant.”
Ready for the future
In a world where laws and regulations never stop evolving, having a dynamic compliance partner isn’t just helpful — it’s essential. More and more organizations are finding that with a partner like Traliant, compliance doesn’t have to be complicated.
