Transforming Mandatory Training into an Engaging Experience
Compliance training is mandatory, but let’s be honest — OSHA and HIPAA compliance training is one of your least favorite parts of your job. Why? Because these training courses can be boring, and it is frustrating to take time away from the office and revenue-generating activities to train your employees. But is it required? Yes. And is it important? Definitely. These trainings are crucial for maintaining workplace safety and protecting patient privacy. Even though HIPAA and OSHA training can be dry, there are strategies to make compliance training engaging and even enjoyable.
Strategies to Make Compliance Engaging
One strategy is to split the material into small, manageable pieces. You could look for online trainings systems that break down the material into short chunks. The benefit of online training is you can train anytime and can split the material into small gaps in your schedule. Did a patient miss their appointment? No problem, pull up an OSHA course. Do you have 5 minutes before your next appointment? Great, pull up a short training.
If you are looking for online HIPAA and OSHA courses, try to find engaging ones. Using multiple senses will help your employees retain the information they learn. For example, Smart Training uses audio and video features along with interactive quizzes to engage multiple senses (hearing, sight, and touch).
This leads us to our next point: assess your employees. Test their knowledge with quizzes to ensure they retain information. People are more likely to pay attention if they know they are going to be tested. Your employees need to retain this information to do their jobs properly and keep your practice HIPAA and OSHA compliant.
Highlight the legal and financial implications of non-compliance to emphasize the importance of taking training seriously. Understanding the potential consequences can motivate employees to engage fully with the material.
No matter how you decide to train your employees, remember to keep the content up to date. HIPAA and OSHA change their policies frequently and you don’t want to pay the fines that come with being non-compliant. Periodically review and refresh your training materials to ensure they remain current and relevant.
How to make compliance training more engaging and effective
By implementing these strategies, you can make compliance training more engaging and effective. Keeping your employees informed and motivated ensures that your practice remains compliant and operates smoothly.
