Employee training

licensing

I was wondering what others are doing regarding employee training, or what I like to call Employee Buy-In, with their employees?

I have set up a "Software Compliance and the Employee" training presentation. I felt there needed to be a way to give employees training that is comprehensive, and not overly dull. In my "test marketing" of this presentation, it was well received, and was anything but dull. Especially when the employees were encouraged to ask questions.

This can also be presented to groups other than to just employees. Such as user groups, which was one of my test groups. Never miss a chance to champion our cause.

A copy of my generic training can be obtained by clicking

I am a big proponent of training employees in Software Compliance. The more they understand what it is all about, the more cooperation we will get from them.

Your employee presentation is

Your employee presentation is very nicely done, giving the true essense of software compliance. I found that one presentation was not sufficient for educating all employees of a company. I define "employees" as all people at all levels working for a company.

Employees at different levels within a company have different exposures, responsibilities and perspectives. One must tune into the same channel as the different levels. I created different presentations for the executive staff, general users, and technical staff. For example, the executive staff has Vicarious Liability hanging over their heads. General users need to be informed of their responsibility in software compliance risks, and savings opportunities. Technical staff has a unique position in compliance and savings since they are the ones who deal with software installations on a daily basis, be it for IT engineering purposes, development or computer maintenance and troubleshooting. Policies are also necessary to inform all employees as to what is expected, and give internal enforcers leverage to protect the company and executive staff from legal enforcement event repercussions.

A policy or employee agreement stating that the individual offender is solely responsible and will pay any cost associated with non-compliance does not stand up legally in the eyes of enforcement agents. The company is held responsible. A company policy can state penalties it will enact upon offenders, such as verbal warning, written warning, then termination. And, the company must show that the policies are being enforced. It would be good to include policy in employee training presentations.
