Many companies still struggle to get employee training right — even though the benefits for onboarding and training are enormous (like improving new hire retention by 82%).

But chances are you can name a lot of movies with training montages. They make up some of the most iconic film scenes in history — why do you think the Rocky series put one in every single film? Despite how crucial these movies make them out to be, the importance of training doesn’t always translate to businesses. 

So, if you've ever caught yourself thinking, "There's gotta be a better way to train our team," know you're not alone. From language barriers to compliance headaches, the challenges of employee training can feel overwhelming. If only there was an easy, straightforward way to solve these issues all at once... (Spoiler alert: There is.)

Introducing: Trainual+

We’re in the business of providing solutions — especially when issues could plague your dreams of streamlined training and onboarding. And there are some common issues that crop up:

• It’s harder to onboard, train, and share your documented content with employees whose first language is different from yours. 
• You want digital records that your team agrees to all of your business policies and processes.
• You want a way to visually manage responsibilities across people and teams (or plan for the future of new and shifting roles). 
• There’s no streamlined way to control the order of training for new hires — creating a firehose onboarding experience.  

And that’s why we’ve created a suite of additional features that gives you complete customization and control over employee onboarding and training — helping you boost accountability, alignment, accessibility, and so much more.

Say hello to Trainual+. With it, you get access to features like:

• Multi-language support.
• Unlimited e-signatures.
• The Delegation Planner^TM.
• Training paths.
• And more coming soon!

Not convinced? Here are the most common complaints about employee training — and how Trainual+ solves them:

1. The struggle: Onboarding employees with different primary languages

Picture this: You've just hired an amazing new team member, but there's a tiny problem — all your training is written in English, and English is their second language. Suddenly, your carefully crafted training materials might as well be written in code. Not exactly the warm welcome you had in mind, right?

Language barriers can seriously slow down onboarding and put a damper on productivity. When training materials and instructions aren’t available in a language that employees fully understand, it can cause frustration, reduce engagement, and ultimately slow down the integration of new hires into their roles. 

This doesn’t only impact productivity — it can also create ripple effects across your team, as other employees may need to spend extra time clarifying tasks or correcting mistakes. In the long term, unresolved language barriers can lead to lower job satisfaction and higher turnover rates, making it crucial for companies to address these challenges proactively — especially if they work with a global team.

The solution: Multi-language support

Get ready to say "good-bye” (or "adiós," "tschüss," "au revoir," "tchau"...) to those worries! One feature of Trainual+ is multi-language support, which translates the entire training experience in a click.

🌎 Here's how it works:

• Choose from a selection of default languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. 
• Have everything documented in English or another language? No worries — one click is all you need to instantly translate any published content to your chosen language.
• You can provide team-wide access to app translation.
• And get access to our ever-growing list of offered languages.

Multi-language support means sharing resources that everyone can read and understand. Watch as your international team gets up to speed faster than you can say "polyglot." With Trainual+, you're not just translating words — you're translating success across your entire global team.

2. The struggle: Ensuring compliance without training acknowledgments (or with massive limitations)

Let's face it: Managing training acknowledgments and agreements can feel like herding cats. Trying to ensure that every employee has read, understood, and signed off on crucial documents can be a logistical nightmare — with countless reminders, follow-ups, and administrative headaches. 

Without the right tools, keeping track of who has completed what, ensuring compliance, and meeting regulatory requirements can become time-consuming and frustrating (a terrible combination in the workplace). It often involves chasing down signatures, manually updating records, and dealing with the consequences of missed deadlines — all of which can drain valuable resources and distract from more strategic priorities. 

The inefficiency and potential for errors not only add stress but also increase the risk of non-compliance, which can have serious legal and financial implications for your business.

Now, having a training platform with e-signature capabilities can solve that issue. However, say you have multiple policies and procedures that need signatures — but you don't have an efficient way to digitally collect and store them. Talk about wanting to pull your hair out.

The solution: Unlimited e-signatures

Trainual+’s unlimited e-signatures are here to save the day! 

✍️ Here's what you get:

• Unlimited, legally-binding e-signatures (think “count to infinity” unlimited).
• Seamless policy management.
• A big drop in your administrative headaches. You’re welcome.

Rock-solid compliance that practically manages itself? Why wouldn’t you sign up?

3. The struggle: Managing roles and responsibilities across teams

When roles shift as your business grows, it's easy for team responsibilities to become a jumbled mess. Without a clear way to visualize who's doing what, you might as well be playing a corporate version of "Who's on First?"

In today’s fast-paced work environment, where roles and duties are constantly evolving to meet new challenges and opportunities, keeping track of who’s responsible for what can quickly become overwhelming. Tasks fall through the cracks, accountability blurs, and the team’s overall efficiency takes a serious hit. 

This lack of clarity not only disrupts workflows, but also breeds frustration among employees who may be unsure of their own roles or those of their colleagues. (Are you sensing a theme with these complaints?) As responsibilities shift, projects can stall, miscommunications can escalate, and productivity can grind to a halt. It becomes nearly impossible to plan for the future or allocate resources effectively when no one is quite sure who’s doing what.

The solution: The Delegation Planner^TM

But fear not! Trainual+'s Delegation Planner^TM is here to bring order to the chaos.

🗺️ Check out these game-changing features:

4. The struggle: Delivering training in the right order for new hires

Remember your first day at a new job? Information coming at you from all directions, feeling like you're drinking from a fire hose? Yeah, not fun. When training isn't delivered in a structured order, it's not just overwhelming — it can seriously impact retention and information absorption.

Imagine being a new hire bombarded with a flood of information all at once, with no clear sequence or logical progression. This "fire hose" approach can leave them feeling disoriented and stressed — struggling to make sense of what they’re learning and how it all fits together. Can we say “lower information retention?”

Without a well-organized training plan that builds knowledge step by step, important concepts can get lost in the shuffle, leading to gaps in understanding and a weak foundation of essential skills.

Plus, when training lacks structure, it’s difficult for employees to prioritize the information that’s the most critical to start making an impact. Can we say “lower information retention?” What’s even worse: Over time, the absence of a structured training order can also lead to inconsistent performance across the team as a whole, as some employees may miss out on crucial insights that others have absorbed. 

Ultimately, this is a huge “uh-oh.”

The solution: Training paths

Thankfully, with Trainual+, there’s a way to optimize employee onboarding paths to ensure control, effectiveness, and ease. It’s training paths to the rescue!

🚀 Here's why you'll love it:

• You can ensure training is completed in a certain order.

• Track progress to make sure employees are off to the races.

By guiding your new hires through a carefully structured learning journey, you'll turn that overwhelming fire hose into a refreshing stream of knowledge. Your new team members will thank you!

5. The struggle: Your training content is too hard to find

Before employee training can even start, they need access to your content. But when training content is hard to find, your team has to waste time searching — interrupting productivity and learning. And if the content is too difficult to locate, your employees may end up skipping training altogether — or worse, rely on outdated information.

Plus, in a world where branding is everything, generic training materials stick out like a sore thumb. They can make your company look unprofessional and, let's be honest, a little bit lazy. Not exactly the vibe you're going for, right?

The solution: Custom domains

Step one for making your training easy to find: Get a custom domain. Think about it: What’s more memorable? Some autogenerated URL with a string of random letters and numbers (you know the ones — like someone starting slamming their hands on a keyboard), or a simple, crisp URL?   

With custom domains, you can ditch the autogenerated URL — which may look something like https://app.trainual.com/ff33aea7-af19-4c07-9eb6-570dc9e1578z (yikes, we're dizzy just looking at that) — and exchange it for something simple and clear, like www.mycompany.com (much better!).

This makes your training super easy to find, and boosts your brand identity and content credibility — for your employees and anyone outside your account with whom you share content.

And with Trainual+, you can level up with our custom domain feature!

🎨 Simply purchase a domain name, get in contact with us, and once we do a bit of magic on our end, you get to enjoy a custom domain for your Trainual account! That way, you're not just teaching — you're reinforcing your company culture with every click. Now that's what we call a win-win!
