Compliance Training Emphasized by Kenyan Firms for Employees
In recent years, compliance training has become a crucial tool in Kenya’s corporate landscape. Many companies have introduced mandatory annual training programs to ensure their employees adhere to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.
SGS Kenya’s Approach to Compliance Training
SGS Kenya, one of the leading inspection, verification, testing, and certification companies in the country, has taken a bold step by introducing two mandatory training programs for its staff. The company aims to promote a culture of compliance through these initiatives.
Annual Integrity Training Program
The Annual Integrity Training Program is an eLearning module designed to educate employees on SGS Kenya’s values and principles. The program includes a quiz at the end, which aims to refresh and motivate employees to integrate the company’s Code of Integrity into their daily work.
eLearning Program for New Employees
For new employees, SGS Kenya provides a comprehensive understanding of the company’s code of conduct through an eLearning module. This module is available in multiple languages and must be completed by all new staff members during their induction period. Upon successful completion, employees receive a certificate of completion.
Reporting Suspected Violations
In addition to these training programs, SGS Kenya has established an Integrity Helpline for reporting suspected violations of the company’s code of conduct. Employees can report any suspected violations through the helpline or by submitting a written report online, fax, email, or post.
