Why BrightHR? / E-learning

You are responsible for meeting your legal staff training requirements. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 states that organisations are required to educate and train their employees on health and safety.

Specific statutory training requirements and mandatory training needs will depend on your industry and the risks your employees face.

Make sure you’re meeting your legal obligations by reaching out to our 24/7 team of health & safety experts who can advise you on what training your employees need to receive and when.

To access BrightLearn, you just need to be a registered BrightHR user.

So, to recap, when you sign up for any BrightHR software package you can get HR and/or health & safety software and a range of free tools. That includes our BrightLearn Learning Management System, BrightExchange—an employee perks platform that also lets you advertise for free and reach over one million potential customers, and BrightBrAInbox—a 24/7 HR and health & safety question and answer platform with thousands of answers backed by experts and AI learning.

E-learning is designed to be accessible anywhere and at any time. With BrightLearn, your employees can complete CPD-accredited courses from wherever they are, 24/7.

Our Learning Management System gives you full control over your employees’ learning, progress, and achievements.

That means your learning manager’s role doesn’t end with assigning courses to your employees. They also get to track progress from the moment a course is assigned to when it’s completed and log the certificates your employees have received for course completion.

That includes our:

• Learning Management System

The specifics of what health & safety training your employees need to complete will depend on the risks they face. The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 requires you to provide relevant training to new employees and to seasoned employees who are exposed to new risks.

You also need to make sure your employees stay up to date with their health & safety training. That can mean refreshing their memory or making them aware of updated recommendations. Again, training frequency will depend on the industry and the risks involved, but the best practice is to retake the health & safety training every year.
