Background
In recent years, corporate improprieties and data breaches have been increasing in Japan, including scenarios where a company’s future is put in jeopardy. For businesses, compliance measures should not end with the drafting of internal regulations, but rather it is important that employees have a firm understanding of the meaning and significance of each regulation. However, the scope of corporate compliance is broad, and it is very difficult to educate employees in a way that covers all aspects. EdulinX and the team of lawyers at ZeLo, a Foreign Law Joint Enterprise, have jointly developed The Basics of Compliance, a new e-learning content series that every employee needs for their day-to-day business operations. Leveraging the strengths of EdulinX’s expertise in education and technology, and ZeLo’s expertise in legal affairs, this course has been designed to help employees learn a wide range of essential topics related to compliance.
