When your mission is to help humanity thrive by enabling the world’s teams to work together effortlessly, internal alignment matters — including when it comes to compliance.

That’s why Asana, the leading work management platform for human + AI coordination, chose Ethena to modernize their compliance training program. Asana’s growing global workforce and the evolving regulatory landscape meant they wanted flexible, scalable, compliance training that checked the boxes for legal and ethical standards, while still being intuitive, automated, and engaging.

When legacy systems can't keep up

Before partnering with Ethena, Asana managed compliance training using legacy processes that weren’t keeping up with the needs of the company. With teams distributed across multiple time zones, compliance requirements that varied by region, and a desire for a more streamlined learner experience, Asana's People and Legal teams were ready for something better.

They had a wish list: seamless integration with their HRIS to keep user data fresh, a clean and intuitive interface for both admins and users, high completion rates without constant nudging, and customizable content to reflect Asana’s internal policies and values. Ethena checked every box.

Compliance that clicks: a seamless launch across time zones

In 2024, Asana rolled out Ethena’s Code of Conduct and Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABAC) trainings. The teams carefully mapped out internal workflows, embedding policies directly into the courses and using universal learner center links to guide employees seamlessly into the platform. They also aligned Ethena’s automated notifications with internal communication cadences and practices, ensuring employees knew what to expect and when.

Behind the scenes, Ethena’s robust admin tools made it easy for Asana’s compliance and learning teams to monitor progress, pull reports, and stay ahead of deadlines.

“Ethena’s platform is very easy to use. We regularly pull reports to check on completion status, automate sending targeted reminders, and evaluate whether to send out additional training content. It’s intuitive and easy.” — Susan Thomakos, Asana Legal and Compliance

Global reach with near-perfect completion rates

In under a year, Asana trained its global workforce on Code of Conduct and ABAC courses using Ethena — with close to 100% completion rate. The platform’s built-in flexibility helped Asana fit training into their own practices and systems, not the other way around. And with a successful foundation in place, the team expanded their partnership in April 2025 to include Harassment Prevention, Data Privacy, and Cybersecurity training.

Ethena has done more than just meet Asana’s compliance needs. It's helped modernize the overall compliance training program with engaging and easily trackable content and courses, elevating and streamlining Asana’s compliance program.
