Should we re-mandate Q1 compliance training?
OD Director at a 500-person firm. Last quarter completion finished at 79%. Q1 2025 dipped to 64% — well below the 75% target. Margaret needs to decide before next exec offsite whether to re-mandate Q1 compliance training company-wide.
Scenario framing
What the brief is asking
- · Audience: VP People Ops + executive team (10-min slot at offsite)
- · Decision frame: re-mandate vs targeted intervention vs accept dip
- · Equity stance: surface group disparity without scapegoating any cohort
Constraint
Answer with ≤3 charts. One page. No method jargon.
Persona
Margaret Chen
VP People Ops · Internal stakeholder
“I have 10 minutes at the offsite. I want one defensible recommendation, not a tour of charts.”
Needs
- · A defensible Q1 vs prior-year completion comparison
- · Where the gap is concentrated (group, dept, or role)
- · A clear ask: re-mandate / targeted intervention / accept
Pressures
- · Legal pressure on regulated training categories
- · Employee fatigue surveys (Q4 2024) flagged 'training pile-up'
- · Budget cycle — any new spend needs to be defensible by 5/1
