CLA launches new training solution: Copyright in the Workplace

CLA is delighted to announce the launch of ‘Copyright in the Workplace’, a training product for businesses. This course and companion are designed to raise awareness and understanding of copyright and demonstrate how teams can avoid workplace infringement.

This CPD-certified copyright course will educate your teams on the fundamentals of copyright, the permissions within the CLA Business Licence, and how everyday actions may result in copyright compliance risks at work.

An online resource, the Copyright Companion, accompanies the course. This interactive tool serves as a real-time resource to resolve copyright-related issues, empowering teams and reducing questions to copyright specialists who understand the UK copyright restrictions and permissions granted by CLA licences.

Meeting the needs of our customers

CLA customers have highlighted the lack of quality training covering copyright delivered by a reputable source, so CLA developed Copyright in the Workplace to fill this gap. Together with the Copyright Companion, they offer multiple benefits to organisations:

• Educate employees on copyright fundamentals and permissions within the CLA Licence.
• Enhance your company’s sustainability framework by supporting compliance and governance.
• Reduce reliance on subject matter specialists and minimise bottlenecks.
• Provide ongoing support through the Copyright Companion for real-time copyright query resolution.

Copyright in the Workplace is a cross-departmental course designed to raise awareness and understanding across the entire business, helping organisations enhance their compliance and governance practices. With the launch of this product, CLA aims to foster a deeper understanding of copyright, giving individuals the confidence to make informed decisions about content reuse in the workplace.

Tim Cooper, CLA’s Head of Marketing & Product, said

“‘Copyright in the Workplace’ helps individuals and businesses understand the questions to consider when using content at work. We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers this training solution, which will add significant value to their organisations. This is the first new non-licence product from CLA in a while and the first on the roadmap as we continue to explore innovative ways to meet the needs of our diverse customer groups.”

Justin Manton, CLA’s Commercial Director, stated

“We are excited to launch ‘Copyright in the Workplace’, a comprehensive training solution that will help businesses navigate the complexities of copyright compliance with confidence and ease. This initiative reflects our commitment to empowering organisations with the knowledge and tools they need to foster a culture of respect for intellectual property.”
