Kineoís new rapid e-learning helps to flatten absence issues

Absence from work costs the UK economy an estimated 10 to 12 billion each year. The average direct cost per employee is estimated around 434. Training can help save costs ñ but you want to control the cost of training too. Kineo has developed a new method to deliver quality, customised absence management e-learning in rapid time at a fraction of traditional costs: The Absence Management Flatpack.

Kineo, the leading rapid e-learning company, has changed how e-learning gets done with its Flatpack approach, launched this week. The Flatpack includes a full script in PowerPoint, images and questions ñ all you need to create customised e-learning and ready to build in a range of authoring tools. The sections include:

Why absence matters ñ the cost and impact in your organisation

ï Why it happens ñ definitions and root causes of absence
ï Managing absence in your organisation ñ initiatives you can take at the organisational level
ï Managing absence in your team ñ specific tactics for managing absence in teams

Kineoís research with our clients has shown that buyers of e-learning want lower cost, more direct control over content and updates, and faster delivery. Kineo Flatpack e-learning delivers on these needs. Flatpacks provide everything required to quickly build high quality e-learning out of the box, at a fraction of the cost of bespoke e-learning, but with all the flexibility. Flatpacks contain a complete script, professionally designed graphics, a high quality set of templates and quiz questions which can be rapidly assembled in any e-learning authoring tool, including Articulate, Breeze, Atlantic Link and many others.

Kineoís Managing Partner, Steve Rayson said: ìAbsence Management can be greatly affected by good quality training. But organisations are keen to contain e-learning development costs. Weíve seen a huge upsurge in the number of companies buying authoring tools to take more direct control of their e-learning development and control costs. The question is ñ how to ensure rapid development of quality e-learning using a tool? We believe our Flatpacks provide a solid foundation. The unique aspect of Flatpacks is that, unlike most off the shelf e-learning, you can customise messages and add or remove content to meet your organisationís needs ñ for example, adding your own absence management policies, a quote from senior executives, or a series of questions to check understanding of your specific processes. For many organisations that have not been able to afford bespoke e-learning in the past, this opens doors. Flatpacks provide a way in ñ a lower-cost option with flexibility and control.î

The Absence Management Flatpack provides a low cost way to organisations to develop their own customised e-learning with no ongoing licence fees.

Kineoís growing range of Flatpacks, including Absence Management, Fire Safety Awareness and Equality and Diversity, is available now at the Rapid E-learning Store.
