Why “Subject Matter Experts” are Valuable
This article is authored by Corridor’s CEO, Rob Miller
Looking back to 2020 it would have been hard to imagine that as we migrate towards the end of 2022 the COVID-19 pandemic would still linger, yet here we are! In response to the ongoing situation and maybe the new normal, workplaces continue to employ different strategies for how their teams work ranging from full in-office attendance, hybrid models between the workplace and home, or remaining exclusively remote. To support these evolving situations, continued workforce education is a key step to highlight policy changes and set the environment for creating Safe and Respectful Workplaces. Why is now the right time to plan for making these important training investments?
Simple answer – the last two years have demonstrated how dynamic the workplace environment has become and your training solutions must be equal to the task. A poignant example is the challenge companies face with modifying policies that govern home based work environments. This relatively unknown issue prior to the pandemic represents a new area of policy development for many companies.
Ensuring your policies reflect this changing landscape of workplace standards plus any new legislative or judicial rulings that emerge is a daunting task. HR and training departments need to monitor these workplace changes and adjust training content appropriately, or risk falling behind. Smaller organizations with limited resources can face even larger challenges in the ongoing race to maintain accurate content.
Why not outsource this crucial and time consuming work to experts? Corridor partners with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who make it their business to monitor workplace environment changes, create suitable policies to reflect these changes and update training material to always be current.
Corridor Interactive is your partner to help manage the complex, dynamic world of workplace policies and compliance. Here are our key differentiators.
Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) author and regularly update all of our training course content. Corridor SMEs are independent specialists who are recognised leaders in their field. They regularly consult to industry and governments, act as expert witness in judicial cases, and provide policy guidance to employers. Being current with all changes that affect the workplace is central to their value. It is also important to note that completion of Corridor’s online training provides a defensible record of compliance that has been referenced by customers in arbitrations and legal cases. Learn more about why our SMEs are leaders in their field.
Customization of Training Courses is another unique feature of our solution to combine the expertise of our SMEs directly with your internally generated policies and procedures. The Corridor team of instructional designers will integrate your content directly into the Corridor training courses. This creates a single point of learning that covers both general education on the topic, and learning internal policies and procedures. This approach is both impactful and time efficient for all employees.
Flexibility puts customers in control of how the content is delivered. Utilize Corridor’s online LMS to quickly and securely deliver appropriate training to your team in a fully branded shell for your company. Additional options are available through SCORM licensing to deliver even greater flexibility and control to manage your learners via an internal LMS.
Start investing in your workforce with Corridor for 2023 and let us help straighten some of the curve balls the new year may bring.
