Every investment your company makes is expected to deliver results. Whether it’s a new product launch or technology adoption, leadership wants to know: How will this impact the business?
Compliance training is no exception. But traditional compliance training often struggles to prove ROI. It focuses on delivering long, generic content to check a box—not on driving measurable outcomes.
That’s where Adaptive Compliance is different.
Why seat time savings matter
Time is one of your organization’s most valuable resources. Across thousands of learners, even small reductions in seat time translate to significant savings:
✅ Fewer hours spent in training means more time focused on business priorities
✅ Shorter, targeted courses keep employees engaged while comprehensively covering key compliance topics
✅ Adaptive pathways personalize learning to each employee’s knowledge and risk, reducing unnecessary training
Here’s what that looks like in practice
For example, one leading global medical technology company partnered with Learning Pool to transform their compliance training program. In just one year, they:
- Delivered targeted, risk-based training to 113,964 learners
- Saved 16,469 hours in seat time
- Generated over $500,000 in cost savings for the business
But the impact didn’t stop there. By leveraging behavioral insights from Adaptive Compliance, they:
- Identified risk blind spots and tailored follow-up training to address them
- Reduced the average duration of mandatory Code of Conduct training by nearly 50%, improving productivity while maintaining defensibility
- Built employee confidence, with data showing greater mastery of critical compliance topics
