Gets the Job Done!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Relias Learning Management System to complete trainings that are mandated for employees based on the individuals title position, contract, and department. We also use Relias Learning Management System for basic trainings on our HR and payroll systems. This product helps us enroll all the employees to the same training very easily, and it identifies the number of employees with pending and completed trainings.

Pros

  • Ease of setup and add custom training for our company.
  • Generic user interface and navigating tools.
  • Effectively and efficiently deliver, track, and report training initiatives.

Cons

  • The UI needs to be modernized and more user-friendly for non-technical individuals.
  • Courses need to be updated with more engaging content. Extremely painful to read the course materials for hour long.
  • The platform can be upgraded to increase speed and navigation.

Return on Investment

  • Helps non-profit organizations more effectively and efficiently deliver, track, and report on training initiatives.
  • Customized training for employees is added to meet HR needs.
  • Content and tools available to meet compliance but its dated materials.

Relias Learning Management System - Training possibilities are endless with this titan of a platform!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Relias Learning Management System to streamline how we are able to push out mandatory trainings to employees who are spread out across the WNY area, as well as a mixture of remote & on-site employees. We also use Relias Learning Management System to for policy sign offs, supervisor trainings that we create and upload in the Relias Learning Management System, etc. The platform is very versatile--having a lot of pre-built trainings in the system but allowing you to create and upload your own as well.

Pros

  • Relias Learning Management System has a massive catalog of pre-built trainings available for employees to take at their leisure
  • Relias Learning Management System has many compliance & hr related trainings based in the system already based on laws and regulations
  • Relias Learning Management System makes it easy to record & build your own trainings to add into their system for specific employees in your company to take as you require

Cons

  • Sometimes getting our HRIS system & Relias Learning Management System to work together can be clunky. We sometimes have to manually add new users versus having them feed over properly from our HRIS platform
  • Relias Learning Management System requires an attestation at the end of every training that seems very formal "under penalty of law, I've taken this training". Seems a bit over the top for basic training courses
  • Relias Learning Management System defaults to sending excessive email reminders--there are ways to curb this but we've heard from staff that the emails are too frequent

Return on Investment

  • We've been able to save money on purchasing outside trainings from vendors
  • We've been able to retain our supervisors and managers because we can provide them in-depth, company specific training through the platform
  • We've reduce labor hours to hold in person trainings and instead push trainings out through Relias Learning Management System wherever appropriate

Easy Navigation, Transferrable, and Great Return on Investment

Pros

  • Technical Support
  • Diverse Course Libraries
  • Easy Navigation for Users

Cons

  • Reporting - Course Completion History - Would be nice if the course output gave you a cumulative score of course completions (like the quick view does before you export the report)
  • Dashboard (only shows current quarter data & is not visually pleasing for individuals with colorblindness)
  • Need to be able to tag agencies under our enterprise as associated with differing Health Plans for better reporting

Return on Investment

  • Saves agencies time and money due to the transferability of previous course completion records
  • Saves individual learners time due to the transferability of previous course completion records
  • Allowed our state to set up a standard set of required courses for all Behavioral Health Providers

Vast course catalogue but outdated system and features

Pros

  • Lots of course offerings.
  • Constantly adding and updating courses in the system.
  • Partnership with Teepa Snow is very important to us.

Cons

  • Reporting is abominable, hasn't been updated in over 4 years.
  • Organization of courses, modules, training plans, skills checklists, manuals, and tests— a lot of options and very challenging to differentiate
  • Their mobile application is not user-friendly, it crashes, doesn't load certain courses, doesn't play audio on other ones, and has very poor performance.

Return on Investment

  • A lot of time manually auditing for compliance, not ideal due to poor reporting capabilities.
  • Caregivers can find a multitude of courses about specific subjects and can use the platform on their own to learn new skills, etc.
  • The technical issues can be overwhelming at times, not user-friendly for mobile, and can be a struggle on a browser as well, wish it was more reliable.
