Art and Kortney sit down in Minneapolis to discuss some best practices for compliance and ethics training programs, including;

* Why we need to train employees in the first place (hint: think Sentencing Guidelines);

* How often you need to be training;

* Training the right people on the right things at the right time;

* The benefits of in-person training;

* How to evaluate your training program;

* Keys to measuring retention and understanding;

* Overcoming training challenges;

* Ideas to make training fun (This…is…Jeopardy!);

* Legal implications of your training; and

* How to keep your training program out of hot water.
