Very eloquently put Lars

In my humble opinion as an ex Health & Safety / Compliance Officer (now eLearning Developer) the main issue of engagement in compliance does not lie in the method or schedule of delivery, but is shown on the Infographic "In 31% of organisations, the learning team is responsible for compliance training. In 28% of organisations, HR is responsible, and in 27%, it’s the responsibility of a compliance officer."

In some organisations both L&D and H&S are there as advisory bodies and also are the deliverers of all training, as such they are seen as the owners of the message behind the training. So in effect the compliance training has the same percieved authority as the departments that deliver it, as a result the message behind it is seen as a necessary hinderance that the "red tape lovers require us to do".

What compliance really needs is Management delivery, not just in a management face on the eLearning or a terse email if it lapses. Actual face to face "we believe in this message" ownership from the Management team, as that is where the culture starts because if the Managers aren't living it then why should anyone else.

Perceievd authority is everything.
