HIVE360 boosts workplace training provision
Outsourced PAYE payroll, employee benefits and engagement company HIVE360, has added over 100 accredited workplace training courses to its employee benefits app, including health and safety training courses to ensure employees have the knowledge to follow safe work procedures, and the company’s compliance is up-to-date.
“WE KNOW very well the value and cost, of high-quality health and safety and workplace training,” says HIVE360’s CEO David McCormack. “We also know that at a time when skills shortages are at a record high, and engaging with employees has become an even bigger challenge, workplace training and development is high on the agenda.
“In response, we have selected a new training provider, iHasco, to maintain our strategy of supporting clients with the best resources when they need them, at the same time adding value to staff recruitment and retention strategies, as skills shortages reach an all-time high.”
HIVE360 chose iHasco after a robust selection and trial process that included a two-month pilot of the new-look training and e-Learning platform by HIVE360 clients. The training provider has over 13 years’ experience in developing and delivering high quality Health & Safety and HR Compliance eLearning with a keen focus on creativity, quality and simplicity.
The choice of quality, accredited training is extensive, spanning a library of over 100 courses including Health & Safety, as well as HR compliance, Business compliance, Management, and a range of soft skills.
Every Health & Safety course is designed to improve workers’ knowledge of safe working practices, reduce risks in the workplace, and help create a more compliant, safer work environment.
“When it comes to Health & Safety, training is a fundamental part of ensuring the workplace is safe and legally compliant,“ David says. “By teaming-up with iHasco to provide the best Health & Safety and Compliance training available on the market, our clients can provide their full- and part time workforce staff the best training available. As we include this provision at no extra cost as part of our engagement platform, we are also saving them money.
“Via an easy-to-use video-based eLearning platform and extensive library of accredited courses, it’s simple to get workplace Health & Safety and HR Compliance training sorted, and provide a fully accessible solution for the workforce,” he adds. “The courses can be completed in as little as 20 minutes.”
Training is a key benefit included as standard for all employees and PAYE temps registered to use the HIVE360 Engage App. All the new courses are accessed via HIVE360’s mobile employee pay and benefits app Engage and its dedicated My Training feature, which includes information about each course.
As part of the partnership with iHasco, HIVE360’s clients’ employees registered on their company’s customised app, are eligible for two free online courses.
“Our team will work with clients to handpick the two most relevant courses that are the best fit for their business and team’s needs, and these will be added to the training portal of their Engage App for the workforce to access whenever they need to,” explains David.
