L&E Creative Compliance Club
L&E has a library of over 250 short, clever comms (~1min) and burst learning (2-4 min) videos and interactive microlearning & activities (5-10-min) covering a variety of risk areas in a variety of fun formats and styles. We’re constantly creating and trying new things so you always have a fresh new way to engage. By the time you read this, we’ve probably added even more new content!
L&E has made a commitment to add new creative programming each and every year. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve averaged 20 new pieces of content each year. Sometimes a bit more and sometimes less. We’re improvisers so we take suggestions from our audience. If you have a need for creative programming to address a new risk area or need a new option to address an old risk area in a new way? Ask…and we’ll be happy to build new creative programming based on the needs of our audience.
It’s a subscription library. When you become a member of L&E’s Creative Compliance Club, you get access to the library of short, entertainment-infused video shorts, interactive microlearning and games and all content added within the term. You can download and utilize the content for internal training and communications as much as you want, as often as you want.
There are a few, but not too many. The main one is that you have to keep the content off the internet and out of the public domain and you can’t share it with any audience outside of your license. Basically you have to protect it as you would your own intellectual property. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to communicate, educate, entertain and engage with all of your audiences as often as you’d like.
Nope. Our pricing is set up so that you get more value the more content you acquire and the longer the term, but we try to create some flexible options for those that just want to dip their toe in the water.

L&E provides you with the actual downloadable files so you can integrate, embed and spread the good vibes across the org as much as you want, as often as you want.
- Mp4 Video Files are available if you’d like to embed our stuff in your stuff, i.e. post on your intranet, embed within a live presentation or e-learning, play on a Zoom/Teams call, etc.
- SCORM Wrapped E-learning Files are available if you’d like to circulate our content through your LMS.
Yessiree! The most common and simplest way to customize our programming is to add an opening and closing “slide” that wraps the L&E video in your branding which can include your helpline, tagline, call-to-action. We are also open to additional customization – changing text-on-screen, adjusting voice over, etc. We just charge for our editors’ time. We also allow our clients to customize the content on their own with L&E approval. Tell us what you’d like and we’ll provide ideas and options.
If content is short and entertaining, you can gain access to more training and comms channels and you can play them in higher rotation. Here is our Creative Strategies For Use Guide
Well, we hate to see you go. But if you do decide not to renew and to let the license lapse, you’ll be required to remove the assets from your company systems and to certify in writing that that has occurred.

Yes, the L&E library is available in multiple languages with new languages added as requested by our large, global client base. The library content is subtitled. We do have the ability to at dubbing and can look into this add-on service upon request.
While not all humor translates globally, one thing for certain is that boring does! Translating your boring programming into multiple languages just ensures that you are boring then in your own language. It’s more effective to try more creative approaches because even if that attempt falls flat with some of your population, you’ve almost certainly engaged more people.
L&E has been successfully delivering short, entertainment-infused workplace behavior content across the globe for over 10 years and there are a variety of creative techniques that have proven successful. But we’ve also learned that there is no single way to engage a global, multi-cultural, multi-generational, diverse workforce. While there are cultural differences, we know that people like to be entertained and they like to learn new things. We’re all different. The most effective way to engage the most people over time is to try more creative approaches as it mitigates the risk of any one initiative. Be more creative and engage people through variety and surprise.
L&E develops custom programming or provides access to our library of videos, microlearnings and games. Our clients integrate and deploy the content within their own training and comms channels. Therefore, we rely on our clients to track effectiveness. Fortunately we have lots and lots of client testimonials attesting to the effectiveness of these creative approaches – increased engagement/satisfaction, increased awareness, increased helpline calls, etc.
In addition, the business case for short, entertaining, communications and nudge learning is strong and backed by behavioral science. Short, entertaining and frequent is more efficient and effective than longer, infrequent and boring.

L&E’s creative content is made by humans for humans. We are big supporters of artists and the value that they bring. We utilize a network of comedians, entertainers, writers, filmmakers, animators and artists to make programming that is more creative, nuanced and impactful. We do use a Gen AI tool to assist with translations, but we utilize our expertise as entertainers and learning professionals to make our programming great!
All L&E Library materials have been developed in collaboration with inhouse compliance professionals in the community. Compliance professionals have contributed from organizations like Amgen, Autodesk, Bread Financial, Dell, Esperion, Phillips 66, Progressive, National Grid, Northern Trust, Starbucks, UCB, United Technologies…to namedrop a few. We typically crowdsource the learning, meaning that we get input from several different programs in several industries. If we can satisfy the group, we typically have programming that works for the community. This ensures that what we create is relevant and always evolving. We’re improvisers…we take suggestions from our audience!
Comedy and entertainment are our superpower. We utilize a network of comedians, entertainers, writers, filmmakers and artists to create entertaining, meaningful, empathetic, nuanced learning content.

Our approaches are not only more fun, they’re a more efficient and effective way to mitigate risk.
