emTRAiN Offers Free, Customizable Social Media Training for Employers

Online Course Includes Company-Specific Social Media Policy; Effectively & Easily Communicates the Do's and Don'ts of Social Media in the Workplace

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- emTRAiN, Inc., a leading provider of multi-media online, HR compliance training, today announced that it is now offering a complimentary online Social Media in the Workplace course to help employers educate their workforce in the benefits and dangers of using social media tools in the workplace. The course provides a general overview and is designed to apply to most workforces.

"The use of social media is exploding and people are beginning to see some of the unintended impacts of this new media on the workplace and the employer. This is definitely a top-of-mind issue for many HR departments," said Janine Yancey, CEO and founder of emTRAiN. "Our goal was to make a simple tutorial that raises employee awareness of the risks of social media and how their use could violate existing employer policies. Now is the time to formulate your social media policy before an incident occurs and use an e-learning course to quickly train your employees on that policy."

emTRAiN has developed an engaging social media tutorial that educates employees about the basic rules of engagement and potential risks when posting to social media sites. The course is even customizable for each company to include their own social media policy throughout and only takes trainees about 15 minutes to complete.

emTRAiN's online courses enable companies of all sizes to train employees in a much more convenient and affordable way than on-site training seminars. A built-in tracking mechanism provides audit-quality proof of training, which can be critical evidence in most litigation cases.

The emTRAiN e-learning model allows employees to participate in the training at their convenience and at their own pace, from anywhere in the world, avoiding the loss in productivity and after-hours seminar attendance often required for on-site training. Thereafter, managers can refer back to the e-learning course as a reference guide to help navigate current workplace issues.

emTRAiN is the only on-demand HR compliance training company to employ a Hollywood production company, along with a regular cast of real actors, to depict real-world office scenarios for most of the training courses. The quality production and realistic scenarios ensure better knowledge retention with practical examples designed to illustrate the particular concepts to the learners.
