The first ever WOW! Award was created specifically to encourage and honour innovation, impact and achievement in the training and development industry. LLI followed up the WOW! Award with a Silver win in the external Elearning category, which acknowledges superior instructional content or learning experiences that are delivered, enabled, or mediated by electronic technology and designed for sale on the open market.
“We’re thrilled to be the first ever winners of CSTD’s WOW award.”, said Sabine Steinbrecher, CEO and Founder of Learning Library Inc. “We are extremely proud of HR eSourceTM and what it can do to assist managers in any Canadian organization with just-in-time human resource requirements. It’s wonderful for our product to be acknowledged in this way by Canada’s national training association.”

“HR eSource™ provides owners and managers with fast, interactive access to critical, resource-rich, HR information.”, explained Ms. Steinbrecher. “Participants are able to work through any module according to their own schedule and needs.”
HR eSource™ was the result of a partnership between the Learning Library Inc., who provided technical development, Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario (HRPAO), and Benchmark Performance Inc. and was funded by the Government of Canada. The program, available in English and French, retails for $199 and can be purchased online through http://www.hresource.ca/HRPAO/. |
“Many managers don’t have time to dedicate to Human Resources because they are too busy,” said Bill Greenhalgh, CEO, HRPAO. “The HR eSource™ program can help non-HR managers improve their people management skills and teach the latest HR best practices.” That’s why we’ve developed this HR e-learning program geared to non-HR managers. It will help them improve their people management skills and teach them the latest HR best practices from how to streamline hiring and recruiting, conduct performance reviews, write policies and job descriptions to deliver training and more.”
The costs of poor talent management and employee disengagement are increasing for small business in Ontario, according to recent HRPAO research. Only 17 per cent of employees are highly engaged and absentee rates are up significantly from 2003. Statistics based on HRPAO research conducted in 2007 indicates that:
- In 2005 voluntary turnover rates increased across all sectors to eight per cent from six point four per cent the year before (Conference Board of Canada)
- The total cost of turnover can range from $2,000 to $40,000 per position and it can take up to 90 days to fill the vacancy (Conference Board of Canada)
- Absenteeism rates are up 30 per cent from 1997 (Statistics Canada)
- 14 per cent of employees are “not at all” engaged (Conference Board of Canada)
