They say a business is only as good as its people, but how can a business ensure its people contribute to its long-term success? For HR professionals, the answer might seem clear—compliance and safety training. The world of compliance and safety training is complex, covering areas such as anti-harassment, DEIB, cybersecurity, and more. Year after year, our annual trends report shows that compliance, workplace safety, and cybersecurity consistently rank among the top five most supported programs.
With these foundational programs at the heart of maintaining a competent and respectful workforce—ultimately contributing to the overall success of the company—why is it that HR professionals often dread annual training? Compliance training is one of the most detailed and labor-intensive tasks an HR professional faces. It requires careful attention to local and state guidelines, 100% employee participation, and thorough reporting. While it may seem routine since it’s required every year, the repetitive nature and the sheer volume of work involved make compliance training a tedious process, which explains the less-than-enthusiastic feelings many HR professionals have toward it.
This is where an all-in-one solution comes into play. Investing in a learning management system (LMS) that not only assigns and tracks training but also provides high-quality content across various topics is key to alleviating the burden of annual compliance training.
BizLibrary offers BizLMS, which helps manage the logistics of your programs, and we also provide diverse content options to suit an organization’s needs, all aiming to help our clients. BizLMS is one of the most robust learning management systems of its kind by offering features that make tackling compliance and safety as stress-free as possible.
Administrative Dashboard: Compliance and safety training, while routine, are not the only programs that administrators manage. Administrators can track completed, overdue, and due assignments from one central spot so nothing falls in between the cracks. Additionally, within the administrative dashboard you can easily export reports often needed for audits.
Learning Initiatives: Compile all the content lessons learners need to watch in one easy-to-follow playlist that can be assigned out. Learners can then manage their progress within their individual assignment, so they know what’s required of them, the due date, and how close to completion they are.
Integration Capabilities: Relying on BizLibrary’s integration capabilities can help alleviate administrative burdens when it comes to compliance and safety training in a couple of key areas. The first relates to learners accessing the platform. We have many Single-Sign-On capabilities that assist with password fatigue and help learners log-in with one click to complete their training. Furthermore, we also integrate with other LMSs so that administrators can leverage our expansive compliance and safety content and so that learners can access our content without interruption. Not to mention our newly added HRIS/payroll integration that takes the burden of ensuring all employees are captured away since it ensures that as employees are added, removed, or change roles, their learning paths and access within BizLibrary can be automatically updated, reducing manual input and error.
Custom Content: We know that sometimes clients need to provide additional training materials unique to their organization which is why BizLMS supports custom content uploads whether that be a digital download like a pdf file or a video recording. This allows HR professionals to truly leverage the all-in-one solution in a way that works for them and their organization. Administrators can also customize our off-the-shelf content and make compliance training more personal with a video interaction. During a video interaction, a leader at your organization could emphasize a concept, include an example of how it relates to living out the core values of the organization, and more.
In addition to BizLMS features and integration capabilities; to meet the varied needs of our clients, we offer a wide range of content for building a comprehensive compliance program:
Expert-Led Content: We collaborate with industry professionals to create content that is both insightful and engaging. Presenters like Catherine Mattice and Justin Jones-Fosu deliver, expert-led sessions through our Expert Insights Series, offering an alternative to traditional illustrated content.
Generic and State-Specific Content: We understand that certain states have specific compliance requirements. As part of our content strategy, we offer state-specific and generic courses, vetted by law firms specializing in employee law to ensure accuracy. We also provide content tailored for both managers and individual contributors, ensuring the right training for every role. Additionally, this content showcases a variety of different scenarios for various industries and workplace settings, has engaging graphics, offers learning reinforcers, and more
Canada-Specific Content: For our Canadian clients, we provide compliance training options in both French Canadian and English. This ensures learners can complete their courses without language barriers, helping administrators manage compliance without the need for outsourcing.
Industry-Specific Content: Some industries, such as healthcare and manufacturing, require specialized training due to their unique challenges. To address this, we offer content covering sensitive topics like HIPAA, bloodborne pathogens, operating heavy machinery, and ladder safety, ensuring employees are properly educated on both critical information and high-risk tasks.
Additionally, BizLibrary provides resources designed to support the planning and execution of compliance training programs:
Playbooks: Our playbooks guide administrators through each stage of creating a well-rounded program that does more than just meet the basic requirements. These playbooks include statistics to help secure leadership buy-in, recommended stages for implementation, content suggestions, and more, helping to streamline the planning process for compliance and safety programs.
Job Aids: Certain content videos are accompanied by downloadable job aids that help administrators navigate new regulations, particularly when states enact changes. These job aids can be printed and posted in common areas, such as break rooms, as reminders for employees.
Hidden Risk Assessment: Not sure where to start when building your compliance program? Our Hidden Risk Assessment prompts you with targeted questions for each compliance category, helping you identify any gaps in your current program.
Compliance doesn’t have to leave you questioning whether you’ve covered all the necessary bases. Let BizLibrary help you feel confident that your programs not only meet state and local government requirements but also contribute to a competent and caring workforce.
