Businesses now understand the impact E-Learning can have for both providing training and reducing costs, and during these times of austerity, there's no greater task than reducing costs.
Traditionally training budgets are targeted in a cost reduction programme; however there is still a legal requirement to provide employees with health and Safety training. E-Learning can offer a solution for reducing costs while also providing your employees with interactive and engaging training.
What are the advantages?
This is a powerful tool which offers companies a number of key advantages, with the main advantage being the quality of training offered. E-Learning providers are able to respond quickly to any changes in health and safety legislation and guidance and update courses accordingly.
E-Learning presents content in an appealing, media rich and interactive way. These combined attributes ensure that your employees become fully engaged in the Safety Learning course content and absorb the information presented.
A good course will include a self test at the end of the course as a method of ensuring your employees have fully understood the content. Employees who successfully pass their course(s) can then be given a Certificate of Training as a reward which can be printed off directly from the E-Learning system.
For health and safety training, the reduction of risk employees' face is a vital element. Courses can include a risk checklist, asking your employees questions about the safety risks they face in and around the workplace. This checklist will enable the administrator of the E-Learning system to identify any employees who are at high risk and record details of any measures put in place to reduce this risk.
Once training has been completed, you will need to store training records should you ever get assessed by the Health and Safety Executive. An E-Learning system will hold all training data including courses started, completed and incomplete and results of the self test and risk checklist for each individual employee. This powerful information is accessed by the system administrator and is an audit trail of all training completed through the system.
Let's not forget the cost savings!
By implementing an E-Learning system can save a company up to 80% of their training costs. Although the initial cost the system may appear to be a more expensive alternative, when the costs are broken down, you will see the savings.
An E-Learning system will save costs in a number of key areas. Staff downtime will be reduced as they will not be required to leave their tasks for more than an hour at a time. The flexibility of E-Learning means they can complete their training course(s) at a time and pace that suits their learning style and access training 24/7 via the Internet. They can now choose the most appropriate time to complete their training while having minimal impact on productivity.
This system will also remove the need for travelling to external locations for training sessions. You will save on travel expenses; trainer hire and venue hire costs when using an E-Learning system.
Finally, if you have migrant workers within your company, you may currently need to hire an interpreter for your training sessions. However, by using an E-Learning system that is Multi-Lingual capable, you will no longer need to hire interpreters as employees can train in their own language.
