10 Best Interactive Training Platforms for Employees I’d Trust With My Own Team in 2026

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 21 Jul, 2026

Here’s something I keep running into. A manager builds a thorough, well-meaning slide deck for a new process, sends it around, everyone marks it “complete,” and three weeks later, nobody remembers a single step. That is not a discipline problem. That is a format problem. The gap between training that gets clicked through and training...

12 Annual Compliance Training Topics That Still Hold Up (+ What AI and a Younger Workforce Are Doing to Them)

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 20 Jul, 2026

Every fall, somebody on the leadership team asks the same question: “Are we covered?” Not covered like the roof over the office. Covered like the legal kind, the kind that shows up in a deposition. That’s usually when annual compliance training gets rediscovered, dusted off, and rushed into place before December 31. I’ve built these...

25+ Employee Onboarding Statistics for 2026: The Numbers Behind Why New Hires Leave

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 15 Jul, 2026

I have sat in enough onboarding retrospectives to know the drill. Someone pulls up a slide with the Gallup “12%” stat, everyone nods gravely, and then the meeting ends with the same paperwork-first process it started with. So this time I went looking for employee onboarding statistics that were actually published in 2025, from researchers...

myTrailhead Migration: What Salesforce Admins Need to Get Right Before the Deadline

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 10 Jul, 2026

I’ve sat through more than one Slack thread this year that starts the same way: someone asks if anyone’s actually planning their myTrailhead migration yet, and half the replies are people admitting they haven’t started. That’s not a knock on those admins. Salesforce didn’t send up flares when Sales Enablement, the product everyone still calls...

Employee Development Goals: 25 Examples and the 5 Mistakes That Kill Them

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 3 Jul, 2026

The development goal season comes around, and I watch the same thing happen every year. Someone sends the calendar invite. Everyone shows up having written something that morning. By the end of the meeting, there are goals typed into a system that no one will mention again until the next cycle. For a long time,...

10 Best Learning Pool Alternatives & Competitors in 2026

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 13 Jul, 2026

If you’re looking at Learning Pool alternatives, something specific probably broke down. Maybe your reporting got unwieldy as you scaled. Maybe your admins are spending more time figuring out the backend than actually running programs. Maybe the platform worked fine at 300 learners and now feels like it’s lagging at 1,500. Whatever the trigger, this...

10 Best Acorn PLMS Alternatives and Competitors That Are Faster and Easier to Scale

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 3 Jul, 2026

I’ve been looking at learning management platforms for a while now, and Acorn PLMS comes up more often than you’d expect in evaluations. It’s a solid platform, especially if performance-linked learning is the pitch point. But it’s also a niche one. The contact-for-pricing model, slower performance under load, and the reporting limitations reviewers repeatedly flag...

BambooHR LMS: What I’ve Actually Learned Adding Employee Training on Top of It

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 3 Jul, 2026

I’ve lost count of how many BambooHR admins I’ve talked to who hit the same wall. BambooHR handles the boring stuff well, records, PTO, and onboarding paperwork, and most people don’t think about it much, which is the highest compliment you can give HR software. Then someone hires four people in one month, and the...

Soft Skills Training for Employees: What the Best Programs Have in Common

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 26 Jun, 2026

I’ve seen teams with serious technical horsepower consistently underperform because nobody could run a meeting, deliver feedback, or flag a problem before it became a crisis. I’ve also seen the opposite: average technical teams do excellent work because they communicate well, trust each other, and solve problems without drama. That gap is almost always a...

How to Measure Employee Learning Outcomes Effectively

Written by Kamy Anderson, Expert Writer Updated: 26 Jun, 2026

Every training report I have ever sent to leadership had the same number front and center: completion rate. Clean, high, and almost meaningless. Because completing a course and actually learning something from it are two very different things, I was for a long time measuring the first and calling it the second. Knowing how to...
