A compliance training demo by Hungry Minds

Awkward.

Five episodes and a finale about the moments at work that make everyone squirm. We built it with no client brief, to show what compliance training looks like when we design it.

The problem

Most compliance training is a policy with a Next button.

Read the policy. Click Next. Pass the quiz.

Everyone completes it. The moment that matters still catches people out: the joke in the group chat, the second drink, the look that goes on too long.

The idea

Built like a series you binge.

Every episode drops you into one uncomfortable moment and asks what you would do.

1
Short episodes.
Two or three minutes each. Watch in order or jump straight to the one you need.
2
A call in every one.
Learners make a choice, then see what that choice does to the people in the scene.
3
The policy where it helps.
The rule lands after the experience, as a takeaway. In a real build, your policy clause sits one tap away.

The episode guide

Six moments. Six ways to play.

1
Live group chat
The group chat.
A private message gets shared for laughs. One line stops the pile on.
2
Swipe and sort
Just a compliment.
Six comments, sorted fine, grey or over the line. Praise the work and run the swap test.
3
Spot it
Room at the table.
The rules all hold. Find the four signs that someone is being shut out.
4
Rewind
One more drink.
Scrub through a work function and choose the moment to step in. Early is easy.
5
Point of view
Just looking.
One moment from three heads. Impact beats intent, and there is more than one good move.
F
Line builder
The quiet word.
Build what you would say to a colleague. Notice, name it, offer, then the support routes.

How an episode works

Every episode runs the same loop.

1
Cold open.
A title card, then a scene with the cast and two lines on who is there and what just happened.
2
Your move.
One interaction built for the moment. A chat for a chat, a rewind for a night out.
3
What it does.
Feedback shows the consequence in the scene. Rewind and try another reply.
4
The takeaway.
The point in one line, the rule behind it and where your policy would sit.
5
Up next.
Straight into the next episode, the way a streaming service keeps you watching.
Why the loop matters

Learners know what to expect, so their attention goes on the decision, not on working out the screen.

The thinking

Real behaviour lives in the grey.

Obvious scenarios teach people what they already know. Awkward. goes straight to the hard calls: a compliment, a look, a second drink.

Learners sort, spot and choose. The feedback explains why, and leaves them with a rule of thumb they can use on Monday.

The swap test

Would Gav say it to Ollie, word for word, in the same tone? If not, it is probably about Priya, not about the work. One question people remember.

Speaking up

More than one right answer.

Most episodes accept several good moves and flag one poor one. People speak up in different ways, so the course backs each of them.

Every call adds to a style, revealed at the end of the season. Every style beats silence.

The straight talker.
Names it on the spot, short and calm.
The quiet fixer.
A private word, no scene.
The backup.
Goes to the person it is happening to first.

Any screen

Laptop or phone.
It plays.

One file, laid out for a laptop and reflowed for a phone in the lunch room.

Built in

Every drag has a button. Every animation respects reduced motion. Feedback is announced to screen readers. Progress saves on the device.

Make it yours

Yours would be built around your people.

The engine stays: episodes, interactions and the loop. Everything your people see changes.

Your grey areas.
Scenarios drawn from the moments your teams face, worked up with your SMEs.
Your cast.
Characters in your uniforms, on your sites and in your offices, in a style that suits your brand.
Your policy.
Every call checked against your policy, with the right clause linked from each takeaway.
Your record.
Every decision logged, an end check at your pass mark, an attestation, and completion data sent to your LMS.
Any compliance topic

Respect at work is the demo. The same series format suits code of conduct, privacy, safety, conflicts of interest and cyber security.
