Too many steps to assign a training

Website is slow, especially when first signining in. The main reason for my access is for trainings (I have and HRIS system in place).There isn't a training properly labeled "Sexual Harrasment", which makes me a little nervous.

Affordable & easy-to-use

I have the Company Policies app and it has allowed me to easily share our updated company policies with employees.

Their customer service is top notch

Their customer service is top notch. Quick to respond and ready to help. I use the Attendance Calendar, and they made changes last year that I wish they had not. I'm sure the changes needed to be made, but I wish they had made more of an effort to wed the good aspects of the previous version with the new version.
