Safety training for employees is a must for organizations across the employment spectrum. Besides keeping workers up to date on the most current safety practices, training employees enhances the performance of the staff and the productivity of the organization.
In today’s work from anywhere environment, it has become next to impossible for organizations to gather groups of employees together for on-site training. The solution for companies, from both a logistical and practical aspect, is online training for their workers.
There are many benefits of online training, for employers and employees alike. For organizations that are still coming to terms with employees working away from the office, or those who are planning on a hybrid office environment in the future, online training provides a way to assure safety standards are being met in a controlled, uniform way. For employees who have become more at ease with the flexibility that work from anywhere situations allow, there is the ability to take the training at their own pace while fulfilling the requirements their employer has set out for them.
To assist organizations in meeting their training needs while allowing employees the freedom to learn from anywhere, Christian Brothers Risk Management Services Online Training offers FREE modules to Risk Pooling Trust members that offer many distinct advantages over in-person employee training.
Online training offers a myriad of perks, with perhaps the most obvious being that employees can work at their own pace to complete the coursework. Employees get the training they need, exactly when they need it, and using the device they prefer. This flexibility is a true advantage over in-person trainings that rely on an employee being in a single place at a certain time.
With in-person training, there is always a chance that it may pull an employee away from an important work project during an in-person training, leaving them distracted by what they need to get done. Online training takes the pressure off of employees to prioritize their training over their work or vice versa.
Employers benefit from the flexibility because the pressure is off to organize in-person training that fits the schedule of everyone in a certain department or even the entire company. With employees able to use downtime at work or even the time unwinding before bed to complete their online learning, valuable production time isn’t taken away for training.
New employees can quickly become overwhelmed in the first few weeks on any job. A new employee must complete any work training required to complete the tasks. They will also need general safety training. In many cases, additional or advanced training may be required. That is a lot of training in a potentially short amount of time.
Online safety training can be tailored to the special needs of new employees, with a focus on the skills and knowledge they require to safely perform work and avoid risky situations, and the proper way to report and control common workplace hazards.
Training can also be tailored to ensure the success of new supervisors, or provide guidance and updated recommendations for existing supervisors. Employees at every level can benefit from receiving the most current information in their training.
Your organization is unique and your employee training should be unique. Your online training should be easily configurable to meet the distinctive needs of your organization.
Regulations are constantly changing, requiring employers to revise their training needs. This is true especially in the area of sexual harassment training. More and more states are requiring all employers to provide this type of training to their employees on an annual basis. Online training for employees is one way organizations can quickly come into compliance with these types of state requirements.
Christian Brothers Risk Management Services offers more than 200+ different online training modules on a variety of topics, some of which address risk management, safety, child abuse prevention, and human resources. Each module includes relevant training content on the specific topic, presented in a concise, easy-to-follow format. A short quiz accompanies most modules, which are designed to reinforce the important points presented in the modules. Trainers also have the ability to use only the portion of the training program they find relevant to their organization’s needs.
The ability to track learners’ progress and performance and make training decisions based on insightful reports and analytics is an indispensable asset. Through our web platform, managers and supervisors can monitor participant progress on each module along with quiz results. Human Resources can also monitor the completion of all company and state required training programs, such as sexual harassment prevention. Upon successful completion of each module, participants can download a certificate of achievement for their employment file.
Online employee training should deliver a practical and personalized training and development experience. It helps keep your organization running smoothly, maintain your brand's reputation, helps manage risk, and prevent compliance penalties.
The rapidly evolving safety landscape requires organizations to adapt their training material swiftly while keeping employees engaged in learning. Christian Brothers Risk Management Services can help you develop the training program right for your organization. View our Online Training Catalog.
