Easing the Burden of Compliance

Employee training and subsequent training records are a critical part of governing regulations and compliance with training is an area that inspectors and customers will always check during audits. 

Maintaining up-to-date records and tracking employee training to ensure compliance using a manual system is a considerable burden that often requires a dedicated person or an entire team. Manual administration allows for zero data or insights leaving training managers with little to no understanding of where the company’s biggest knowledge gaps are.

With individual employee records needing to be readily available during an audit or other inquiry, it is integral for a company to create a reliable, stable, and repeatable training management process to ensure your entire organization is up to date with industry standards and regulations.

Incorporating an effective training management process will create unified quality process training to achieve compliance, easy onboarding for new employees, role-based qualification, and quality event-related training. An effective process will also generate periodic training to guarantee that employees know their roles and responsibilities, are aligned with business objectives, and can constantly improve skill levels in QMS-related areas. 

The Role Training Technology Plays in the Organization

Technology is designed to automate the administration and grading of all employee training and enables a continuous improvement strategy. The result of that is an increase in operational efficiency and consistency, less regulatory risk, and an audit-ready organization with a single source of truth. 

Employee turnover is extremely high in the cannabis industry. With that said, training technology can build employee competency, ensure retention, and align training curricula with business goals. Role-based curricula address turnover quickly and effectively with data insights that ensure compliance by role, provide you with access to qualification dashboards, and allow you to monitor training trends with ease. 

C15’s Solution

C15 offers companies various options for maintaining training records, depending on their training approach.

Read and Understood Training with E-Signature (21 CFR Part 11) Acknowledgement 

Read and Understood training is available to everyone with a C15 eQMS license and alerts the licensed user that they have been assigned a training task on their home screen task page.

Training Storage Solution for Training Performed Outside of the System 

For our customers that perform manual training or training outside of C15, the Training Storage Solution allows training records to be captured within the system through attachments and e-reports can still be generated via C15 dashboards.

C15’s Enhanced Training Management System or TMS 

The Training Management Solution (TMS) allows customers to build curriculums per job role, assign the curriculum to applicable employees, and implement quizzes for a quantitative level of understanding. The added benefit of TMS is the automation of training - the module will automatically assign training tasks to the applicable employees whenever an SOP or other document that requires training is updated.

No matter which approach is taken for training, C15 has the solution for easy reporting and monitoring.

Establishing a Culture of Quality

Training is absolutely critical from a compliance perspective. However, it is less obviously used as a competitive advantage or as a tool to establish a genuine ‘culture of quality’. The only way to build such a culture is to invest wisely in your people, processes, and technology. 

Over-reliance on either one or two out of the three will leave your operation open to unnecessary risk, leave profit on the table, or both. People leave and processes change; technology can minimize the associated disruption.
