Marvin OnumonuCiphr eLearning has launched a new set of microlearning employee training courses for UK businesses.
The suite, powered by Marshalls, includes 11 short courses covering diversity, inclusive recruitment, safeguarding, health and safety, information security, data protection, and mental health.
Each course takes about 10 to15 minutes to complete and is suitable for organisations in any sector.
The courses feature new scripted videos based on real work scenarios, filmed with actors, and include up-to-date case studies.
They are available as a full set or as individual modules.
Titles include diversity in the workplace, health and safety, safeguarding, mental health in the workplace, bribery act, anti-money laundering, whistleblowing, data protection, recruitment, manager’s toolkit, and information security smart.
David Marshall, managing director of Ciphr eLearning, said: “Good employee training isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s essential to ensuring happy workforces and equitable workplaces.
“The recent surge in employment tribunals related to menopause, neurodiversity, and ageism, for example, tells me that it’s needed more than ever.
“And it’s not just an ethical imperative. Some of these tribunal award payouts are uncapped, so it can be very costly to employers who don’t comply with their legal duties and allow unlawful behaviours to continue in their workplaces.”
Marshall added: “Regular employee training helps protect organisations from litigation and bad PR, but, more importantly, it protects individuals.
“It helps managers and employees recognise best practices, call out bad practices, and prevent issues arising in the first place.”
Meg Shona Halpin-Webster, lead instructional designer at Ciphr, said: “Microlearning is a powerful format for people to develop their knowledge and skills while in the flow of work.
“By delivering focused, bite-sized content, our refreshed microlearning suite is helping to make learning accessible and immediately actionable.
“The courses cover a range of important topics that are relevant to almost any job or sector, while the combination of animations and filmed scenarios, with written content, really amplifies the learning experience.”
