Most places I know of would not only have the sort of induction training you imply, but regular refreshers for anyone involved in regulated or at-risk activities.
- fhood 5y agoWe had the refreshers as well. We theoretically had access to fairly extensive private data. Not without leaving a pretty extensive paper trail, but the access was there.
- nostrademons 5y agoMandatory insider trading training is required at my FAANG employer. I think it's 1-2 hours rather than 4 hours, but still substantial.
