Annual training is more than a checklist; it reinforces expectations, keeps us aligned, and builds consistency. Clear guidance on required courses, supervisor-specific needs, virtual options, documentation, and record-keeping makes the process simple and predictable. By outlining what happens when deadlines are missed and when policies must be re-acknowledged, we support accountability and keep everyone on track year after year.
