Course Features

At the heart of every Workplace Answers training solution are our realistic, relatable, and interactive scenarios. These storylines are all based on common, relevant workplace situations, as well as current events or issues that have arisen in the culture or case law. Regardless of job level, position or title, it's easy for your employees see themselves in our courses and are therefore more likely to retain information.

Post-training surveys of Workplace Answers’ courses have uniformly shown that employees appreciate and prefer our Web-based training. In fact, in the past year, we have averaged a 98% positive rating when employees were asked if they enjoyed the Web-based training and/or would like to take another online course.

Choice of Photos or Inclusive Illustrations

Workplace Answers talented designers give you the choice of using illustrations, photos or blended filtered photos. Engaging, inclusive illustrations are a popular option available for almost all of our courses. For sensitive issues, sometimes stock photos or video clips can make some employees feel excluded because they don't see themselves in these images. Or worse, seeing themselves in stereotypical ways.

• 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 Learning

As they move through our online training courses and from module to module, users are required to answer a variety of types of questions that test their knowledge of the course 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.

Course 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. Workplace Answers' proprietary 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.

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!

Tracking & Reporting

Organizations often need to manage their human resources training across multiple locations, and need to designate which departments, regions, groupings or individuals can access specific course versions or languages. HR managers want simple, flexible online access to track training and development participation -- and Workplace Answers has the solution. The SLATE Learning Management System (LMS) effectively tracks all of your organization’s instructor-led sessions and global training announcements. Plus, you won’t need to rely on your organization’s busy IT department.

Reports and data can be exported into a variety of formats for use on your own desktop or to integrate with other systems. We maintain an electronic record 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. To find out more about SLATE's tracking & reporting capabilities, view this brief movie.
