Multilingual e-learning courses promote compliance at Suntory Group
The challenge
The day-to-day decisions made by Suntory team members have a huge impact on the lives of customers, colleagues and partners.
Failure to keep data secure can expose those stakeholders to manipulation. Failure to spot signs of modern slavery allows the practice to continue. Failure to comply with competition rules means customers and partners get treated unfairly.
Suntory wanted to help their colleagues do the right thing, every time, but were faced with:
- a 3,800-strong workforce spread across Europe
- four major languages spoken (English, French, Spanish and Polish)
- varying national laws and obligations
- a need to bring these topics to life with practical examples.
The solution
Learning Experience Manager Gemma Towersey and her team worked with Suntory to develop five highly interactive e-learning modules, in English, French, Spanish and Polish.
These modules were:- An introduction to GDPR
- Anti-bribery and corruption
- Competition law
- Cyber security
- Modern slavery
To keep content clear and concise, Gemma worked with the Suntory team to define business outcomes, then identified the actions that team members need to take to meet those outcomes.
Rich scenarios were scripted to bring complex legislation to life and help colleagues apply their learning to their context.
And our graphic designers developed a visual identity for the courses that let Suntory colleagues know they had been designed just for them.
Finally, Gemma and the team collaborated with Suntory on translation, to make sure that colleagues could learn in their native language.
Emerald Works have been doing excellent work in the follow-up of the e-learning projects that they have been involved in, always having in mind the reality behind training employees in a multicultural environment.
