New Web-Based Delivery Tool Provides Cost-Effective Alternative to Distribute Customized Exam Information

MINNETONKA, MN. (August 12, 2004) -- Online Employment Systems (OES) recently partnered with the American Staffing Association to produce the Certified Staffing Professional (CSP) online study guide.

Developing a new method to deliver a printed study guide online is both time consuming and expensive. So when the American Staffing Association decided to convert the printed CSP study guide to an online version, they sought the help and expertise of one of their associate members, OES. OES specializes in taking traditionally printed material and delivering it online, complete with date-stamped acknowledgements and archived records. The new method is equally cost effective and efficient.

The CSP program offers a professional credential through completion of an in-depth, self-study course, and an exam of labor and employment law principles and ethical practices applicable to the staffing industry. The goal is to advance industry-wide current competency standards through a uniform national program. Individuals who pass the exam may then use the CSP designation after their names.

When the American Staffing Association was looking for an innovative online tool, OES provided a password-protected customized site that students could access at any time from any place to study for the CSP exam. As part of the CSP exam package, students receive access to the online Study Guide that provides easy accessibility for reviewing study questions, confirming answers, and providing links to specific study material to help clarify correct answers. The online Study Guide also provides an electronic study experience to help in preparation for the online CSP exam.

Becoming familiar with various e-learning tools is part of the process in becoming comfortable with online learning, self-service and many other web-based opportunities available to employees.

"Providing ease of access to our members is very important to ASA," noted Tracy Rettie, CAE, Assistant Vice President of Chapter Relations and Education for ASA. "Some of our member companies have a need to track usage of the study materials by their staff - the OES program is key to helping us provide this service."

OES' customizable online delivery tool for employee handbooks, orientations, on-boarding processes and procedures provides date-stamped employee acknowledgements and stores archived records. The unique product is available to companies of all sizes, organizations, associations and HR consultants; OES recently began offering this product to companies looking to increase their online distribution of existing HR products without going through the expense of developing their own online method.

Companies looking for a cost-effective delivery method for training programs, employee handbooks or other HR related programs or products should consider not only expense, but implementation time as well. OES can create a customized site to match the look and feel of an existing website, program or HR product with all of the features and functionality within weeks rather than months. Delivered as an ASP, there is no hardware or software to purchase.
