Skillsoft launches compliance suite for targeted risk training

Tue, 10th Sep 2024

Skillsoft has introduced the Skillsoft Compliance Suite, a new addition to its compliance training solution aimed at transforming how organisations develop skills to identify and mitigate business risk.

Research indicates that only 37% of leaders are content with their businesses' skill development in mitigating risk. With budget constraints, staffing shortages, and increasing regulatory demands, Skillsoft’s new Compliance Suite seeks to address the critical need for a flexible, risk-based learning approach. The suite offers organisations the ability to personalise training, build learner-specific risk management skills, and promote measurable behavioural change throughout their workforce.

Asha Palmer, Senior Vice President of Compliance Solutions at Skillsoft, stated, "We view risk-based learning as the new gold standard for compliance, driven by stricter laws and regulations and the need for effectiveness and efficiency. We're leveraging emerging technologies to deliver a hyper-personalised experience where learners receive content tailored to their 'risk profile'—including their role, career path, and state or country's mandates."

The Skillsoft Compliance Suite introduces several new features, including:

Fully Integrated & Customisable Experience: Compliance training is now integrated into Skillsoft Percipio, bringing all of the company's learning solutions onto a single platform. This integration includes customisable compliance training courses, multi-language course assignments, and Learning Management System (LMS) connectors to streamline administrative management and the development of a skilled, global workforce.

Risk Dashboards & Analytics: Enhanced program dashboards allow administrators to monitor the progress and effectiveness of compliance assignments. Future risk dashboards will enable customers to pinpoint and prioritise top risks within their organisations by leveraging learner data such as skill assessment scores, engagement levels, and course completion times.

Emerging Risks & Laws: The expanded curriculum covers critical emerging topics such as the EU AI Act and Canada Law 25. This equips organisations with the necessary knowledge to navigate complex compliance landscapes effectively.

AI-Powered Learning: Skillsoft’s AI-powered coach, CAISY, provides an interactive experience for learners to practice real-world compliance situations, including protecting personally identifiable information (PII), delivering respectful communication, and identifying bribes.

Lori Thompson, Director of Human Resources for Lee Enterprises, commented, “With employees serving 73 markets across 26 states, each having a unique set of compliance training requirements, the Skillsoft Compliance Suite is invaluable for our company. Dynamic Content allows us to easily manage the complexities of different state regulations and deliver the right training to the right employees at the right time. It’s a win-win for administrators and our talent.”

The Skillsoft Compliance Suite offers a customisable training platform with advanced analytics and coverage of emerging regulations. It aims to enhance organisational compliance and risk management. Its integrated features support effective training and administrative efficiency, addressing evolving compliance needs.
