During the COVID-19 Pandemic, employers are looking for ways to engage their employees while businesses are closed and the workforce is working remotely or in self-quarantine. Online training is the simple answer for a shifting workforce and can serve as a basis for pay when employees are working outside of the normal workplace.

Online training is:

• Accessible
• Affordable
• Trackable
• Effective
• Convenient

If you, your department, or your organization are taking steps to allow employees to work remotely and would like to provide a trackable training option for those individuals, we can help with an affordable online training option that is ready for enrollment.

There has been a notable shift in business’ attitudes and endorsement of Valentine’s Day.
