WIRED: compliance reporting made easy

WIRED (Workforce Information Reporting Engine Database) is a web-based tool that enables employers to export data from their existing HR, E-learning and Learning Management systems, including ESR and OLM in England, and to quickly create a wide range of high quality compliance reports.

If you are finding that producing compliance reports can take several days each month and the data is not always trustworthy, or that learning and development departments spend significant amounts of their time chasing compliance only to find courses are not filled and e-learning not completed, then WIRED is for you.

Through quick and accurate reports, available to all managers, WIRED enables a culture change for compliance reporting. Line managers can now take responsibility for ensuring compliance, which makes better compliance easier to achieve. Users of WIRED report an increase in compliance of 25%-50%, significantly enhancing patient safety.

Using WIRED can produce significant cost savings through more informed and targeted investment in training and education, not to mention the savings associated with having a more compliant workforce. In addition, WIRED can contribute towards lower NHS Litigation Authority premiums.

Making compliance reporting easier means more time can be spent ensuring staff are receiving the right training.

“The development of WIRED has allowed us to make significant improvements in our training compliance. The real bonus point is the information is available immediately and it is accurate. The other real plus point is that the staff themselves can take ownership of their own training requirements and it’s not just down to managers to ensure compliance levels. It has enabled a culture change and very real improvements in achieving local and national standards.”
