Scenarios That Engage Your Employees

At the heart of every Workplace Answers human resources training and development solution are our realistic, relatable, interactive scenarios and award-winning illustrations. They're all based on common, relevant workplace situations, as well as events or issues that have arisen in the culture or case law. Regardless of job level, position or title, employees see themselves in our courses and are therefore more likely to retain information.

Rather than shy away from the gray areas of workplace interaction, our courses address them head-on. We address workplace violence, workplace diversity, business ethics and sexual harassment training (including AB 1825) with straight-forward compliance training content. This approach makes our online human resources training interesting for learners and useful for organizations. By the time they've completed our employee training and development courses, users have the necessary tools to identify, prevent and report potential legal, compliance or ethics missteps.

Inclusive Illustrations Avoid Stereotypes

Engaging, inclusive illustrations are a major component of all of our courses. Stock photos and video representations can make many employees feel excluded, because they don't see themselves in these images. Or worse, they see themselves represented in stereotypical ways. We take great care to make sure our illustrations reflect workplace diversity, taking into account your entire workforce.

• Inclusive. We do not reinforce stereotypes about race, gender or national origin. All employees can see themselves in our illustrations. We incorporate and respect workplace diversity.
• Customizable. If your organization requires graphics that reflect your unique employees or work environment, our talented art staff will work with you to create custom graphics and scenes.

Interactive & Intuitive

As they move through our online training courses and from module to module, users are required to answer questions that test their knowledge of the employment law training material. This interactive learning process keeps them engaged and receptive to new information. More often than not, it's in the explanations of the answers to these questions that the finer legal and interpersonal points are highlighted and gray areas become clearer.

Simple VCR-style, on-screen controls ensure that even users with little or no computer experience can participate, reading and working through courses at their own pace

Pace Meter

Some states have laws on their books that require a minimum amount of time to be spent studying specific employment law topics to meet corporate compliance training mandates. To enforce time requirements and track participation time through the Internet, Workplace Answers offers a proprietary Pace Meter.

In metered courses, users can track their pace against what's optimal -- or required by employment law. This unique innovation analyzes a number of variables to establish an accurate estimate of participation time. The Pace Meter then displays a constantly updated visual gauge. Rather than just setting an arbitrary time limit per page, this flexible, non-intrusive solution allows readers to move more quickly through familiar topics and spend more time working through new material.

Tracking & Reporting

Employee training and development participation can be tracked anytime with our Web-based Learning Management System (LMS).This fully integrated and hosted employee training tracking system lets you perform the following tasks:

• Generate and download reports showing dates of registration, completion, last login and policy acceptance. The LMS can also show the total time user spends in a course or courses.
• Produce personalized reports that suit your needs.
• Find information about a specific user or group of users.
• Print personalized Certificates of Completion -- to document compliance and include in personnel files.
• Register new users for courses.
• Automatically notify users when they're due to start or finish a course -- and schedule reminders.

Reports and data can be exported into a variety of formats for use on your own desktop or to integrate with other systems. Organizations can control their online human resources training by designating which departments, regions, groupings or individuals can access our LMS. We maintain an electronic copy of the exact course each user takes, so you don't have to. Should a claim or issue arise, this documentation can be used as "Exhibit A" evidence in your legal defense.

Certificates of Completion

Our customers really appreciate our certification solution. It's an easy and effective way to verify compliance training. Rather than manually administer the process, users or administrators can download and print Certificates of Completion directly from within each Workplace Answers online training course. Certificates may be used to prove compliance training or simply kept in personnel files. They also look great hanging proudly on cube walls!
