Can I Customise Compliance Training to Include Our Company Policies?

Table of Contents

If you’re wondering whether you can customise compliance training to include your organisation’s own policies, the answer is yes! But also, no. Let us explain.

The Tribal Habits platform allows you to build training pathways that combine expert-written, auto-updating compliance modules from our library with your own custom content. This gives you the flexibility to deliver legally accurate, version-controlled content alongside the specific policies, procedures, and messages that are unique to your organisation.

What You Need to Know About Compliance Content in Tribal Habits

Compliance topics in Tribal Habits can be either imported or copied from our library into your organisation’s portal. All modules are maintained by our team to reflect the most up-to-date legislation in Australia and New Zealand.

Importing vs Copying

When you copy a topic, you’re creating a standalone version in your portal that’s no longer connected to the original. This gives you full control and the ability to edit the content freely, but it also means you won’t be notified when we update the original topic to reflect changes in legislation. This can mean added workload for you and an out-dated and confusing training experience for your learners.

On the other hand, importing a topic keeps it linked to the original version in our library. When the topic is updated (usually due to a change in legislation) you’ll receive a prompt in your portal to apply the update. This approach ensures your compliance content stays accurate and current without manual tracking. Imported topics still appear in your organisation’s colours and branding, so your learners experience the same consistent look and feel as your internally created content.

How to Include Your Own Policies in Compliance Training

With that in mind, we recommend importing compliance topics to ensure your training stays accurate and up to date with minimal effort on your part. While imported topics can’t be edited, there’s a simple solution that gives you the best of both worlds. By building a pathway that includes both imported modules and your own custom content, you can deliver compliant, current training while also addressing the unique policies and procedures specific to your organisation.

Here’s how we recommend structuring it:

  1. Import relevant compliance topics (e.g. Work Health and Safety, Anti-Bullying, Equal Employment Opportunity) from our library.
  2. Create custom topics to include your own policies, reporting procedures, cultural expectations, or a message from leadership.
  3. Group them in a pathway so learners move through both your editable topics and the unedited compliance modules in one streamlined learning experience. In your custom topics, you can even introduce the next topic to make the transition seem more natural for your learners.

This approach gives your learners both the legal context and the internal relevance they need, without compromising on the accuracy or update frequency of your compliance content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit compliance training modules in Tribal Habits?

Yes. If you copy a module into your platform, you can edit it as necessary, however any updates in legislation in the future will not be tracked. Imported compliance topics cannot be edited, as they are linked back to the original topic and maintained to reflect current legislation. This ensures the content stays accurate and updates automatically when regulations change.

How do I include our company policies in compliance training?

You can create a custom topic with your own policies and include it in the same pathway as a compliance topic. This allows your learners to receive both expert content and organisation-specific training in one experience.

Will imported topics look like our internal training?

Yes. Although you can’t edit them, imported topics appear in your portal’s colours and branding, so the learning experience feels consistent across all modules.

What topics are available in the compliance library?

The Tribal Habits compliance library includes modules on WHS, anti-bullying, harassment, code of conduct, equal opportunity, and more, all tailored for Australian and New Zealand workplaces.

Why is it better not to edit compliance modules directly?

Editing these modules would prevent automatic updates when laws change. Keeping them locked ensures that your learners always receive the most current, legally accurate information.
