What You Don’t Know Can Cost You
5 Questions to Ask Before Building Compliance Training In-House

With the emergence of AI tools, building compliance training in-house may look cheaper and faster than ever. But then the real work starts.

The time, costs, and risks you don’t see upfront can add up fast. A state or local requirement is missed. Content goes out of date. A course fails an accessibility check. Training employees click through and forget the key points by lunch. Any one of these gaps can leave your organization exposed, as DIY training is often legally thin and instructionally ineffective. 

Elissa Rossi, an employment law attorney, will unpack what organizations often underestimate when building compliance training internally. She’ll walk through five critical questions that reveal what it really takes to keep training legally accurate, current, accessible and effective. You’ll also hear real-world examples of the consequences when training fails to keep pace with changing requirements. 

Then, Shelby Cooney, Traliant’s Chief Learning Officer, will show you why effective compliance learning is so hard to replicate in-house. You’ll see clips from Traliant’s cinematic, TV-style Preventing Workplace Harassment, Code of Conduct and Cybersecurity training, where realistic scenarios make complex issues relatable, memorable, and behavior-changing. You’ll see the kind of production quality, instructional design, and legal oversight that takes a full team of always-on experts, not just a check-the-box exercise. 

You’ll also see why learning shouldn’t stop when the course ends. Micro Reels, short 2-minute videos, reinforce key behaviors throughout the year, so expectations stay top of mind well long after annual training closes.
