An annual training map for finance training managers

Finance and insurance are exempt from regular occupational safety and health training for employees, regardless of company size. If you accept a standard four-course bundle quote as is, you’ll pay for courses you don’t need. Here’s what drops out and what stays.

The biggest difference for finance training managers is how statutory mandatory training is made up. The Enforcement Decree of the Occupational Safety and Health Act exempts finance and insurance from regular employee training, so the 6 or 12 hours other industries complete every six months drop out entirely. Yet the 'four statutory mandatory courses' bundles on the market are quoted without asking what industry you are in.

Other requirements take its place. Given the data you handle, personal data protection training is hard to treat as a formality, and training whose records supervisory inspections check, such as internal controls and financial consumer protection, comes on top of that. And because staff are spread across branches, simply bringing them together costs money. This guide is written with those three points in mind.

Training we have delivered in finance

We sorted the course titles and clients of all 2,201 training sessions Nanum Consulting has actually delivered by topic and industry, and counted them. Instead of saying 'we've done that,' we show the numbers. We kept the rows with zero, too — the blanks are what make the other numbers credible.

🇬🇧 We also deliver these topics in English

We also deliver the same topics in English. Training in English for foreign employees, overseas subsidiaries, expatriates and reports to global headquarters is one of Nanum Consulting’s strengths. We don’t use an interpreter: the instructor teaches directly in English. Across all industries, we have delivered 55 engagements at 33 clients in English. We don’t yet have an English-language engagement in financial services, but any of the topics above can be delivered in English.

4 ways finance training differs from other industries

The difference is in the conditions, not the curriculum. Settle these first, and the rest is simply choosing by topic.

  1. Regular occupational safety and health training drops outFinance and insurance are exempt from regular employee training regardless of the number of regular employees. Sexual harassment prevention, disability awareness, personal data protection, and retirement pension participant training all remain. When you get a bundle quote, first check what actually applies to your company.
  2. Customer data can’t leave the companyTransaction history, customer identification data, and credit review documents cannot be entered into external generative AI services. That is why hands-on AI training in finance only works if it starts from 'what we never enter' rather than 'what we can do'. If you have an internal policy, we build it into the course materials as is.
  3. Staff are spread across branchesHeadquarters and branches do different work and sit far apart, so in-person training for all employees means many sessions. Mixing live online with in-person delivery, or grouping sessions by region, is the practical approach.
  4. Training records serve as inspection evidenceSupervisory inspections and internal audits often rely on training records and course content as evidence. Decide when you place the order how attendance rosters and course materials will be kept, and you won’t have to recreate them later.

Training focus by topic

The table above shows what we delivered and how much. This section covers what changes in finance.

🤖AI Applications
Finance comes to us for AI
Of the 8 inquiries that financial-sector companies posted on our community board, 5 asked for AI training. Few ask about anything else. Build the exercises around materials with no customer data — disclosures, product descriptions, internal report templates — so participants can apply them at work right away.
🎯Leadership & Team Leaders
A branch manager and an HQ team leader do different work
A branch manager watches numbers and customers at once, while a headquarters team lead handles planning and coordination. Lump them into one 'team lead training', and both sides feel it is not about them. Splitting promotion training into two tracks works well.
🌱New Hires & Onboarding
Fits between training center programs
Financial institutions often already have a long in-house training program for new hires. Realistically, external training fits best as half-day blocks slotted in between. Start with what new hires use right after placement, such as counter service and business etiquette.
🤝Communication & Culture
Bridging headquarters and branches
In finance, communication problems usually sit between headquarters policy and what actually happens in the branches. A workshop that puts both sides in one room and has each walk through their day often works better as a first step than generational training.
📄Job Skills · Documents
Reports and product explanations are half the job
Much of the work involves documents written for a specific reader: review opinions, credit reports, product explanation materials. Generic business-writing training won’t stick. Only hands-on practice with your own templates leaves people with something they can use next week.

Finance and insurance are exempt from regular employee safety training regardless of company size (special training is separate). If a bundle quote includes it, take it out. The other courses (sexual harassment prevention, disability awareness, personal data protection and retirement pension) depend on headcount and benefit plans, not industry. We keep which courses apply, and for how many hours, in one place: our statutory mandatory training reference. To check your organization, enter your headcount and industry in the checker.

FAQ

Do financial companies really not need occupational safety and health training?

For regular employee training, yes. Annex 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Occupational Safety and Health Act exempts finance and insurance from employee training regardless of size (special training is separate). However, some companies also have non-exempt worksites, or run the training on their own under internal rules or a parent company policy. Check your company’s status in the checker, and it is safest to get labor counsel for the final call.

So which statutory mandatory training still applies?

Four requirements remain: workplace sexual harassment prevention, workplace disability awareness, personal data protection, and retirement pension participant training. Each has its own audience, frequency, and penalty, and whether it applies depends on your headcount and benefit schemes. Enter your number of regular employees and your retirement benefit scheme in the statutory mandatory training checker to get a table showing which courses are required and for how many hours.

Can AI exercises work without customer data?

Yes. Exercises work with materials that can’t identify any customer, such as disclosure documents, product descriptions, internal report templates and meeting minutes. In fact, when you decide up front 'what not to enter,' more of the training actually gets used at work afterward. If you have an internal AI usage policy, we build it into the course materials.

How do you schedule training when branches are spread out?

Most clients combine regional in-person sessions with live online sessions. Run the program once at headquarters to finalize the content, then roll it out to the regions so quality stays consistent across sessions. To see how the estimated instructor fee changes with the number of sessions, change the hours in the quote calculator.

Can we get the records in a format we can use to prepare for regulatory inspections?

We organize training logs, completion rosters, copies of course materials, and photos of the session. However, what counts as acceptable in an inspection is decided by the regulator and your company’s internal rules, and we don’t make that judgment for you. Tell us the formats you need in advance and we will keep records in that form.

Do you have a track record delivering training in finance?
