Web-based Learning Management Solution Validated in Case Study of Large, Dispersed Training Programs
SLATE Learning Management Solution by Workplace Answers Used by Boy Scouts of America to Successfully Deploy National Compliance Training
For Immediate Release
San Francisco, CA, June 25, 2007 --
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) originally selected Workplace Answers (San Francisco, CA) to train headquarters employees on unlawful harassment because of Workplace Answers’ superior content. But for training 7,000 council employees from 306 BSA councils across the U.S., they chose Workplace Answers SLATE Learning Management System as their solution.
“We looked at other Web-based offerings,” explains Richard Christian, HR Director of BSA. “The ability to deploy customized training remotely to each local council, the complete absence of technical obstacles and the high quality of the content made Workplace Answers the choice for our organization.”
SLATE is a hosted solution by Workplace Answers that empowers a company’s own HR administrators to deploy training programs in just minutes from any web browser. SLATE automates course registration, sends reminder emails and tracks participant progress and completions. A case study of the BSA training program found that at the end of eight weeks, 80 percent of the full- and part-time employees had successfully completed the course.
“Hosted training solutions make too much sense for organizations to ignore,” says Mary H. Lex, Workplace Answers Chief Operating Officer. “BSA deployed custom courseware for 7,000 employees grouped in 306 local councils—all managed in just a few hours per week by two people from their HR staff. SLATE dramatically reduces the administrative effort involved in training.”
