Compliance training that employees remember and use

Xcelus builds scenario-based compliance training that helps employees make better decisions in real situations.

Continuous compliance learning that reduces risk

“Effective compliance training is part of a robust compliance program as defined by regulators such as the U.S. Department of Justice in its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs.”

Continuous compliance learning that reduces risk

If employees only see compliance once a year, they forget it. That is normal. It also creates risk. Xcelus can help you build a simple reinforcement program by applying learning science principles like Spaced Repetition, using short scenario reminders, manager talking points, and targeted monthly touchpoints.

  • Short compliance reminders that fit busy schedules
  • Campaign-style learning across the year, multiple touchpoints
  • Focus on high-risk topics and real decisions
  • Helps create a culture of compliance and speaking up

How scenario-based learning improves recall and behavior

Most compliance issues do not arise because employees have not heard the rule. They happen when someone is busy, unsure, or pressured, and they make a decision in the moment.

Scenario-based learning helps employees practice judgment. Reinforcement helps them recall the right action when it matters.

  • Short and relevant is easier to remember
  • Scenarios feel like real work, not a lecture
  • Frequent touchpoints reduce forgetting
  • Managers get simple tools to reinforce expectations

Mobile first training, training employees how they work and learn

We design scenario-based training that works on phones first—without sacrificing compliance rigor.

We design scenario-based training that works on phones first and still meets compliance standards. Training can be delivered in your LMS, in Teams, or as short video reminders.  If you prefer, we can publish and host video content on Vimeo so your team can embed it within your existing workspaces.

Watch a few short scenario examples below

These are quick examples of how we turn common policy moments into training that employees will actually watch.

Sample compliance courses

Here are a few examples of common compliance courses we develop and customize:

LimeSmart microlearning courses and scenarios

LimeSmart microlearning courses

LimeSmart is a shorter alternative to traditional compliance training. These bite-sized courses use scenarios to re-engage employees with simple, repeatable touchpoints throughout the year.

Imagine a Code of Conduct learning experience that takes minutes per month rather than a long annual course. For many companies, this improves engagement and reduces training fatigue.

Add gamification to increase engagement

Some audiences respond best to game-style learning. If that fits your culture, we can build or customize gamified experiences that support your compliance topics.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

These questions come up often when compliance teams review their training approach.

Can Xcelus customize training to our policies and risks?2026-02-19T10:39:56-07:00

Yes. We customize compliance training to match your Code of Conduct, key policies, and risk areas. Scenarios are tailored to reflect realistic situations employees may encounter in your organization.

What does continuous compliance learning look like in practice?2026-02-19T10:39:09-07:00

Continuous compliance learning uses short scenario videos, reminders, and manager talking points delivered throughout the year. These touchpoints are focused on high-risk moments and common questions employees face, without overwhelming them with long courses.

Is a Code of Conduct course enough on its own?2026-02-19T10:38:15-07:00

A Code of Conduct course is an important foundation and may be enough for some organizations. However, many compliance leaders find that one-time training does not fully support long-term behavior. Continuous learning helps reinforce expectations throughout the year.

How is scenario-based compliance training different from traditional courses?2026-02-19T10:41:01-07:00

Traditional courses focus on rules and policies. Scenario-based training focuses on real workplace decisions. Employees see realistic situations, consider options, and learn how to respond when something feels unclear or uncomfortable. This improves recall and judgment.

Do employees really forget compliance training?2026-02-19T10:35:13-07:00

Yes. Most studies show that employees forget a large portion of training content within weeks, especially if they do not use it regularly. In compliance, this creates risk when employees face real situations months later. That is why reinforcement and reminders are so important.
