Need a word that can describe a situation where the majority of the population is required to do something. Because not the entire population is required, required itself, mandatory, and similar such words are not entirely appropriate. This word needs to convey the same sense of authoritativeness that required does.
Ex. will need a heading to describe a section of trainings that must be completed by most of our employees.

Does it make sense to come up with a term for the category of activity or the category of the population for whom it is required? For example, Data Privacy Training, or IT Required Training?

The majority also means most. If you are ruling out both most and majority you should explain what's wrong with them.

I think you've answered your own question.
"Most" [as a determiner] means nearly all of: most oranges are sweeter than these | [as pronoun] : I spent most of the winter on the coast.
Most employees shall be required to attend sensitivity training.
You can also try:
Practically, which as an adverb means virtually; almost
Practically all employees shall...
Use a thesaurus and search for "most" if you need more options.
