Employee Training Services
Employees are the Gatekeepers
of Compliance
ICS Consulting is deeply rooted in cannabis employee management systems and regulatory compliance training, helping licensed operators create the structure employees need to thrive in highly regulated environments. With extensive hands-on experience training cannabis industry employees, we understand that building a strong culture of compliance is one of the most critical factors in maintaining licensure and long-term operational success.
Employees are the front line and gatekeepers of cannabis compliance.
Their daily actions directly impact inventory control, recordkeeping, safety, regulatory adherence and overall risk exposure.
