How to Reduce Compliance Training Seat Time with AI

Compliance training is essential, but often it's simply too long. Employees dread marathon sessions, executives push for teams to focus on the “work”, and compliance teams feel stuck between legal obligations and learner fatigue. What if you could keep all the most critical content for your organization but cut the seat time in half?

Enter Ethena’s AI Training Builder, which makes that a reality.

The Problem: Too Much Training, Not Enough Time

Compliance training has a reputation for dragging on. A one-hour session might be necessary to cover a complex code of conduct, but often learners struggle to stay engaged the whole time. That is compounded when you consider that compliance teams are getting asked to do more with less, often struggling to simply keep up with an annually refreshed training that isn’t tailored to risk and role.

The Solution: AI-Powered Training Design

AI is well-positioned to solve this exact challenge. Manually rewriting content or trimming slides is tedious, especially if you need to manage different versions for various employee populations. AI, on the other hand, is an excellent tool for managing large volumes of training content. It can instantly generate concise and focused training that fits your target time frame, tailored to the employee population, with just the right tone.

Start by uploading a long document, like a 20-page safety policy, and choose the desired length for the training, say 10 minutes. Almost instantly, you’ll have a training module that covers the essentials. Instead of 60 minutes, your learners will get only what they need to know in 10 minutes. You can even tell the prompt the areas this population will need more or less focus on. If the resulting training isn’t exactly right, it's easy to edit the minor details.

Engagement Without the Fluff

Cutting time doesn’t mean cutting impact. In fact, shorter courses often land better when paired with strong engagement tactics.

Content built using AI Training Builder can include:

• Interactive slides like quizzes, scenarios, and flashcards
• AI-generated visuals that explain complex ideas faster than paragraphs of text
• Your own content, so you can drop in an executive intro video or an existing visual

The result is a course that feels dynamic, not watered down. Learners get to the point faster, while still absorbing the material.

Tailor Training to Learner Preferences

The time it takes a learner to consume content varies, and often, preferred learning styles matter. Some might consume content fastest if listening, while others prefer to read.

The good news is that when using AI Training Builder, you don’t have to choose. Within seconds, your training can automatically include a natural-sounding audio track for learners to consume written content like a podcast, so you can cover your learners who absorb content faster by listening than by reading. Let them take their training on the go, so no matter if they’re in the car or the subway, or walking the dog or cooking dinner, they can get the need-to-know information.

Training, Instantly in Your Native Tongue

When training is delivered in a learner’s native language, it dramatically reduces the time it takes to absorb and retain information. Instead of pausing to translate in their head or re-reading sections for clarity, learners can move smoothly through the content and focus on the key takeaways. Ethena always includes fast and free AI translations with simple controls for learners to toggle the language they’re consuming a course in.
