We worked with a variety of Learning Management Systems and can work within yours! Or, if you don’t have an LMS designed to support a robust onboarding program, we’ll use a unique tool we’re licensed to use and deploy for our clients. This system is specifically designed to support new hire onboarding. From within the system, you can:

• Define function and individual onboarding objectives, using our specialized methodology
• Create content to ensure objectives are met, including quizzes and other mastery check activities
• Create checks and balances that give you visibility into both proficiency and progress
• Design feedback loops on the onboarding experience for your new hires
• Manage participant performance through system notifications and dashboards
• Integrate with any existing learning management or HRIS systems you’re already using
