Business Problem: Customers are dissatisfied with service and leave poor reviews Online because employees provide inaccurate allergen information and are inconsistent in the service of allergen free meals. Current and potential customers are lost due to poor service in this domain. Managers frequently compensate customers with free meals or refunds after negative allergen experiences.
Solution: This training takes the learner through the basics of food allergies and intolerance and ties it this knowledge to excellent customer service. It teaches the steps to take to ensure that in every interaction each employee provides accurate information, asks about patron allergies, and serves an allergen free meal.
Highlights: The e-learning module is scenario based. The learner will go through the training in his/her role as a customer facing restaurant employee. All of the instruction and assessment questions speak directly to the learner in this role. The learning material is interactive and chunked into three subtopics to engage learners while making the information accessible to all learners despite age or educational level.
Process:
Analysis- Analysis of the problem and the audience revealed that there was a significant degree of inconsistency in terms of allergen free food service. A majority of the customer facing employees did not know where to find accurate allergen information, provided inaccurate information to patrons, did not ask about patron food allergies, and were not careful to avoid cross contact between dishes. Given the size of the company and variety of departments/schedules, it was determined that self-paced e-learning is the best way to provide the needed training.
Design- A Design Document and Storyboard were created to ensure the proper scope of the module as well as the accuracy of the nutritional information and company policies.
Development- The training was developed using Rise, put through two rounds of review for accuracy and style, and finalized.
Implementation- The training was uploaded onto the company's LMS and was rolled out to learners with a deadline for completion.
Evaluation- Kirkpatrick's Level 2 Assessment:

Business Problem: The rate of driving incidents increased during the last quarter, because high risk drivers are repeatedly involved in driving incidents. These incidents are related to habitual unsafe driving practices. Following the incidents, these drivers do not consistently receive timely coaching to improve driving practices.
Solution: This training takes the learner through the process of conducting and documenting a coaching session. It teaches the criteria to identify high risk drivers, the documentation procedure for incident-based coaching sessions, and the soft skills required to effectively coach a driver.
Highlights: The e-learning module is scenario based. The learner will go through the training in his/her role as a site leader who conducts safety coaching. All of the instruction and assessment questions speak directly to the learner in this role. The learning material is interactive and chunked into four subtopics to engage learners while making the information accessible to all learners despite age or educational level.
Process:
Analysis- Analysis of the problem and the audience revealed that there was a significant degree of inconsistency in site leaders' response to driving incidents and coaching practices. Coaching sessions do not always occur when they are required, or they are done too long after the driving incident has occurred. In addition, the quality of coaching sessions varies by location. Due to this inconsistency, unsafe drivers are not equipped to improve their driving habits and decrease the number of incidents in which they are involved. Because site leaders have limited time for learning and are located throughout the country, it was determined that self-paced e-learning is the best way to provide the training.
Design- A content outline was provided by the Project Owners and SMEs who requested this training. The outline included a detailed description of coaching procedure and company policies, examples of model coaching sessions, and the knowledge check questions desired.
Development- The training was developed using Rise, put through two rounds of review for accuracy and style, and finalized.
Implementation- The training was uploaded onto the company's LMS and was rolled out to learners with a 30-day deadline for completion.
Evaluation- Kirkpatrick's Level 2 Assessment:
There are Knowledge Check questions for each of the sections of the course. These are ungraded and provide the learner with one opportunity to answer each question. Due to the course time limits set by the SMEs and Project Owners, there are no other assessments in this course.
Kirkpatrick's Level 3 Assessment:
At the conclusion of the quarter following the rollout of the training, there is a review of driving incident data and telematics data to see if unsafe driving practices and incidents have decreased, and if coaching documentation has increased.

Business Problem: Though all employees are required to complete safety training during onboarding, those with limited English proficiency do not have full comprehension of the material and are more likely to violate safety principles unknowingly. This leads to incident and injury.
Solution: This training provides a portion of the safety training, namely that pertaining to fire safety, in Spanish. It is the equivalent of the fire safety course in English. All of the OSHA guidance for the industry and acronyms for safety procedures are translated into Spanish so as to convey the same ideas that are taught in English.
Highlights: The e-learning module is scenario based. The learner will go through the training in his/her role as an employee who works with or around highly flammable chemicals. All of the instruction and assessment questions speak directly to the learner in this role. The learning material is interactive and chunked into subtopics to engage learners while making the information accessible to all learners despite age or educational level.
Process:
Analysis- Analysis of the problem and the audience revealed that there was a need to provide safety training in Spanish for employees who have limited English proficiency. These employees were completing the safety training in English as required, but their lack of full comprehension became evident through the incident rate. Case by case investigation by site leaders revealed that these employees were unable to apply safety principles from the safety training, because they had not fully comprehended the training in English.
Design- The English language fire safety course was provided by the project owner along with instructions to keep the content and design the same. Permission was given to make minor changes necessary to translate ideas for clarity.
Development- The training was developed using Rise and AI, put through two rounds of review for accuracy and style, and finalized.
Implementation- The training was uploaded onto the company's LMS and was rolled out to learners with a 30-day deadline for completion.
