Here we signpost some of the top regulatory / legal compliance training providers for helping companies and other organisations to stay on the right side of their industry’s legislation and best practice guidelines.

Engaging Learners

Because employees often find legal compliance training courses tedious, it is important to deliver learning in a way that is engaging and relatable to an employee’s work environment so they will actually retain and apply the training content.

Structured legal compliance training can be performed on-site, at a training provider’s venue or through an elearning platform. Compliance eLearning is often the most cost-effective training option, but some programmes are more suited to classroom training.

Below we’ve listed a few training providers that can help you with developing and delivering legal compliance training courses in your organisation.

Well-trained employees perform better, are less likely to leave the organisation, achieve higher customer satisfaction and improve the organisation’s bottom line. Not only is training important for long term success, but it is often also mandatory due to laws and industry regulations that apply to your business.

In many countries, legislation and regulations require employee training on topics such as health and safety issues, harassment. In the US for example, an employer can be held liable for a sexual harassment incident if they haven’t exercised reasonable care to prevent and stop any form of harassing behaviour in the workplace. One of the most important techniques to prevent such behaviour is through a relevant training programme.

The post Compliance Training and eLearning – the Top Providers appeared first on Learning Light.

Staying up to date with new industry developments, improving knowledge and adding skills is not optional when working in the healthcare sector. As any medical professional knows, training does not stop after graduation.

Continuing Education (CE) / Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is crucial to maintain and advance skills and knowledge in an environment that is constantly changing due to new healthcare research and medical technology (medtech).

Sometimes, complete retraining is even necessary because “best practice” has completely changed due to new research and guidelines.

Not only do medical professionals need to be trained to stay on top of their field, but also to make sure the organisation they work for stays compliant with industry regulations. The healthcare sector is highly regulated and a lack of compliance training can lead to lawsuits, heavy fines and other penalties.

In the midst of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic that fundamentally changed the delivery of patient care in 2020 and 2021, health and medical professionals needed to adapt to telemedicine for consultations.

Traditional healthcare training comes with a number of challenges. It is hard to organise because healthcare professionals are often very busy, making it difficult for them to find the time to attend training sessions.

Attending these courses is also expensive for employers because it often involves travel and takes valuable employees away from their jobs.

Healthcare eLearning provides a solution to these challenges. It allows healthcare professionals to follow training at their own pace at a time and location that suits them. eLearning courses are also cheaper to develop, run and update compared with instructor-led classroom training.

Sometimes online training does not suffice though (e.g. when lab training is necessary), in which case a hybrid solution (known as blended learning) can offer the best of both worlds. The ability to include interactive and multimedia elements in elearning is also very important because it can help improve retention and understanding of medical course material that is often very visual.

A thorough training and development strategy is crucial for any ambitious healthcare organisation. To provide the highest quality care, you need well-educated personnel that are up to speed with the latest healthcare developments.

Learning Light can always offer expert support in designing, implementing or improving your training and elearning strategy. However, if you’re looking for experts in a single, specific piece of the jigsaw, below we’ve listed several training and elearning companies that have experience in the healthcare sector.

Healthcare eLearning Content & System Simulations – Day One

eLearning Content Development – Skills Logic

Sometimes, off-the-shelf training courses do not completely match your organisation’s training requirements. If you need healthcare training that is customized to the precise issues your organisation is dealing with, bespoke eLearning content may be the way to go.

Skills Logic is a software development company that has expanded its services to the development of bespoke, SCORM compliant and interactive eLearning content.

Anyone involved with Learning & Development for a pharmaceutical company knows that it has a uniquely broad and complex set of requirements to think about. These include:

• Pharma being a high-consequence industry, with any mis-steps having potential life-changing or fatal consequences
• Complex regulatory compliance frameworks to work within, most of which vary considerably across different countries
• Fast-changing technologies and medical breakthroughs mean that any relevant training content needs to be just as quick to adapt
• High-profile work – the pharmaceutical industry and its interaction with governments as well as the private sector mean that these companies are under constant media scrutiny
• Needing to react to the latest epidemics and pandemics, such as bird flu or the more recent Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic
• Pharma companies relying on an extentive network of partners, from raw material suppliers to supply chain logistics, pharmacists, and healthcare / medical professionals who administer products to patients or customers. As well as pharmaceutical company staff, all these partners need to be trained to the same high standard.

It’s all these moving parts that make elearning ideal for pharmaceutical training, because new or updated content can be created and rolled to teams at speed and at scale, with relatively little overhead.

Here we have compiled a list of 6 of the best elearning companies for pharma…

Pharmaceutical LMS – Create

Based in the UK and with clients in the US and worldwide, Create is one of the best pharmaceutical LMS solutions, as the team has extensive experience in this sector.

In his 2022 review of Create LMS, David commented on how this is a powerful learning platform that offers speed and ease for its users. At the same time, it is well-equipped to meet the needs of modern, digital business.

If you require a validated learning management system, this is where Create LMS really comes into its own. For example, platforms for the pharmaceuticals industry need to be validated to meet an FDA (Federal Drug Administration) requirement) 21 CFR Part 11.

Founder Mark Taggart comes from a pharmaceuticals background, so the notion of a validated system is not new to this company, and validation is readily available on request.

Learn more on the Create LMS website and get in touch with their expert team.

Read about how the Dokeos LMS has delivered FDA and EMA compliance solutions on their website.

Final Thoughts

Due to the complex and highly regulated nature of the pharmaceutical industry, elearning content and platforms will be held to higher standards here than in most other sectors.

Therefore, it’s important for pharma companies to be careful in their choice of elearning solutions provider and ideally, work with a team who have been there and done it.

The elearning companies above have done exactly that, so should be able to do a good job in helping to meet your pharma training needs.

Competitive, but growing sector

The automotive industry is one of the most competitive, with considerable budgets going into Sales & Marketing, Manufacturing and Logistics. The global automotive manufacturing market was estimated to be worth $2.7 Trillion in 2021 and expected to rise to $2.8 Trillion in 2022 despite fears of recession around the world in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ensuring the highest standards of training is important for maximising value in all those areas, while customer loyalty and the potential for repeat business means that there is great incentive to deliver great customer service. Automotive elearning has started to play an increasingly important part of the training in recent years, allowing for employee training when face to face, classroom environments are difficult or impossible.

It also enables Customer Education both pre-sale in choosing the perfect vehicle, but as part of after-sales care to help improve customer satisfaction and reduce the burden and costs related to service teams.

The project with Mercedes-Benz was designed to help their teams to build and maintain customer relationships in retailers and commercial dealers.

They were looking for a solution to reflect a desired non-corporate style, involving less theory-based training and more actionable insights, with an interactive environment for employees to practise their customer service skills.

Built for Healthcare

Capturing and evidencing competence digitally in a workplace setting, indeed one of the busiest and challenging workplace settings – healthcare was the challenge Xapimed set themselves. Working in conjunction with some leading healthcare providers, they have delivered a superb solution.

You can watch how Xapimed works on this overview video.

Simple, employee-led, elegant and efficient for all those involved in a busy healthcare setting, Xapimed makes the validation of nurses and other healthcare professionals a smooth and accurate experience for both the nurse and supervisor.

The thought and effort into designing and building this process should not be underestimated and the team at Xapimed have by their own admission learnt an awful lot in what they have done.

Much of the experience gained is now available for other healthcare providers, and what is even more exciting is the up and coming Xapify product to manage the competency process for non–desk workers – a group so often overlooked is on its way quite soon.

Digitising competencies in a workplace setting

Digitising competences is not new, but has been traditionally a desk-based experience where PC technology has been used, or a paper based or spreadsheet-based operation with all the inherent limitations and overheads of laborious data entry and re-entry making the process a chore, not a learning experience.

The beauty of Xapimed is firstly in its approach as a learner centric product and this works to great effect in that the nurse is in control of the validation process and taking on their responsibility by requesting that the supervisor validates their competence when demonstrated in the workplace.

This control is further underpinned by the skills matrix built out in Xapimed, which is easy and practical to follow and allows learners to drill down quickly and easily to the individual competencies in a super practical way.

This is just one part of the powerful competency engine developed by Xapimed. Let’s take a deeper look at this, as it is very interesting.

Competency Engine & Progress Monitoring

This tool is fully customisable and allows for different roles to be validated in healthcare each supported by a specific competence framework. The competency engine also allows for a range of different validation techniques to be used.

The progress monitoring dashboard is quite superb in managing multiple competency progressions and validations in a highly visual and informative manner.

Signing off of competencies is very well thought through in how criteria can be set, from observations to assessments and coaching. Checklists are used to good effect for both learners and verifiers.

Supervisors can assign activities to their teams as well as requesting an assessment by a team member. I am particularly impressed how collaborative team tasks can be assessed as well. The use of templates ensures consistency and efficiency in the process.

Overall, the UI and UX is quite excellent and works exceptionally well on a multitude of devices allowing for an easy tactile swipe and touch process of validation to take place in the workplace in real time.

Standalone or LMS & LXP Integrations

Xapimed can send xAPI statements back to an LMS, therefore existing records can be updated if required. However, you do not need to use the LMS to deliver elearning as Xapimed will do that for you with the elearning pathway builder.

Xapimed has integrations with Cornerstone, Success Factors, Workday and Edcast.

Build Learning Pathways

The elearning pathway builder allows for learning assets to dragged and dropped into the pathway to build richer learning journeys as part of skills development programmes. The pathway builder handles enrolments and notifications keeping the learner on track and provides reminders to learners of any up and coming assessment needs to keep validations current.

Pathways can be customised with branching and Xapimed provides a series of handy templates to build out courses if you want to, or you can create your own materials…

Xapimed is also a highly capable audit tool as the training records it produces are able to showcase to regulators who is competent in any one area and quickly drill down to see individual performances and records required to evidence this in detail. Naturally you can use Xapimed to analyse whole training programmes as well.

Saving Time and Surfacing Data

The net effect (a bit of an understatement really), let’s say the huge benefit of Xapimed, is to the medical professional in saving them time while improving their skills and providing the organisation with meaningful data both for audit purposes but importantly for planning purposes as well.

Xapimed really does surface data in an approachable and understandable way for all users of this super piece of learning technology.

The Xapimed team obviously really liked a challenge in providing such a well thought through and easy to use solution that achieves so much in one of the most challenging of working environments – healthcare.

I am now really excited to see Xapify coming along for the wider world of non-desk workers, it is going to be really good with so many possibilities, of which I am absolutely certain.

The Xapimed team “get” healthcare in detail and really do understand the challenges faced by such large and complex organisations in competency validation and skills development and can advise on pilot projects and have developed an evolved methodology of delivering a pilot programme using Xapimed.

Xapimed also innovated working with a large healthcare provider by collecting data from mock situations (using a medical mannequin), making use of the the group observation app to assess team performance, which from the actual data captured new training procedures were developed.

Employee Turnover

The retail sector is notorious for its high employee turnover rate. In most retail businesses, employees come and go all the time, making it very challenging to have well-trained customer-facing personnel available at all times. Providing employee training when you are constantly recruiting new people is very difficult. High turnover also poses challenges with building customer loyalty because customers will be seeing different employees all the time.

Having a flexible, but high quality training programme in place (ideally incorporating retail elearning) can help address these HR and customer service challenges.

Rapidly Changing Business Environment

The retail industry is a very volatile environment that is influenced by changing trends and aggressive marketing. For retailers to maintain their competitive edge, it is important that they are able to pivot quickly when fashion moves into a new direction and / or competitors are using new marketing tactics. Decisions made at the head office need to be communicated down and implemented quickly to stay on top of the market.

eLearning can provide a great device for passing down information on new products, sales tactics, marketing ploys and other important knowledge.

When setting up a training strategy for your retail organisation, hiring a training provider with retail industry training experience is a must. The help of a professional training consultancy can make a huge difference in the effectiveness of your training courses and the return on investment they provide.

Below we’ve listed a few training and learning providers that have extensive experience with retail industry training.

Online Retail Training – Bolt

Compliance issues pose significant risk in the engineering industry because noncompliance can lead to serious monetary penalties and a damaged reputation, which in turn may cause the loss of customers, decreased earnings and a depressed market and share value.

To stay competitive, engineering companies need to keep innovating and advancing their engineering practices, in which training plays a very important role. Many organisations active in the engineering industry are currently facing a serious gap between the available engineering talent and what they need to grow their business. One way of dealing with this gap is by providing training to employees that don’t yet have all the skills you are looking for.

Training and apprenticeship programmes can help engineering companies deal with a lack of talent in the labour market without having to rely solely on the output of engineering schools.

While in-house training can help solve the talent gap, it does not come without its number of challenges.

Training Costs

Setting up a training program takes a significant investment that won’t create an ROI in the short term. In the long term however, if it is well-organised, you are very likely to see a high ROI on your training program.

Staff Turnover

Employees inevitably come and go. Employee turnover always represents a significant business cost, but when you’re providing a lot of training to employees, this risk associated with this cost goes up significantly.

Research has shown however that employee training can help improve the employee retention rate and thus lower the business cost related to turnover. An employee training programme that emphasises transfer of knowledge can also help keep important knowledge within the organisation so it is not lost when a key employee leaves.

To set up an extensive employee training programme, seeking the assistance of a training and development expert is advisable. Below we’ve listed several training and learning experts with experience in training and elearning for the engineering industry.

You can also contact us here at Learning Light for expert advice and support on the best elearning, traditional face to face training or blended learning options to suit your business.
