Today was the company-wide training, conducted by my General Counsel and my boss the Senior Legal Counsel. The first part was on the updates to global compliance, which I am handling, and the second part was on the administration and submission on compliance reports when it comes to sending healthcare professionals for events or sponsorship. Since this is an American company involved in healthcare and medical products, our head office has a firm stand on what can be done and what cannot be done when it comes to the sponsoring of healthcare professionals so we would not be liable for any bribery.
The attendance was quite a disappointment. Those that really needed to attend did not attend. They were busy with other work like trying to bring in sales and marketing things. It was a very fruitful session, but unfortunately, those who did not attend simply missed out on what went on and would go back doing the same things and making the same mistakes.
I really feel for my bosses. They took the time out of their busy schedules to talk to the staff about new updates and legal regulations and compliance issues, yet people did not bother taking the time out to attend and listen. No doubt they are busy, but everyone else is just as busy, yet they could just take time out for the time to attend. Would it not be better to take the time to attend the training, so people know what is needed to be done and cut down on mistakes made? Would it not be a bigger waste of time if things keep getting rejected due to the same kinds of mistakes?
I hope those who missed would not ask for any form of make-up lessons, because I do not think my General Counsel would entertain them since he has already taken the time out to do this. If people do not wish to make the effort, why should we then bend over backwards for them?
