11 Ways to Making HR Compliance Engaging - Live Demo 

1. Turn learning objectives into story-based design

• Help learners focus on the impacts to show them the value of the lesson.
• Make the objectives less intrusive to the learners.

2. Start with the learners' concerns

• The lesson primarily focuses on the participants' concerns rather than the subject matter expert's concerns. Avoid the legalese language. Make the tone more real to the learners. 

3. Start with an emotional real-life event 

• The stories "Compliment", "The Star", "The Secret" and others help to instantly bring learners into the context of the lesson. 

4. Ask learners to reflect 

• In the lessons, allow the learners to reflect. Reflection helps learners translate the meaning of the legal requirements in their lives.

 5. Use story questions 

• Provoke learners by asking them to respond to questions throughout the lessons. The questions are triggers for self-learning.

  6. Relate the stories with company policies 

• Company policies are best embedded in the stories. 

7. Use the learners' concerns as your gateway and navigation labels 

• Using the story themes as your navigation and table of contents instead of the legal and technical terms make learners curious and interested. 

8. Present the policies and forms as references 

• Avoid starting with the definition or explanation about the policies. Refer to them in the stories and make them accessible as a policy. 

9. Shorter lessons instead of hundreds of long and winding Slideshows 

• Many compliance courses tend to present page-turning learning materials as long, very long lessons. The story-based design approach refocuses the emphasis, reduces the page counts and shortens the learning time. 

10. Optimize the learning opportunities and going beyond the "CYA" approach to design

• Compliance courses help companies report to government entities the training compliance. Furthermore, these also help reduce costs, improve efficiencies and productivity and raise revenues. Hence, there should be an effort to make compliance courses transcend the "CYA" design.

11. Learning performance is better with Story-Based eLearning Design

•   If you want to know how the Story-Based eLearning Design (shown here) compares with your traditional and very long PowerPoint slideshows, simply try a small lesson and ask participants these: 
• Which one model helped them remember the ideas?
• Which one model engaged them more?
• Which one helped them learn more?
• You will see that the Story-Based eLearning Design approach produces more results.
