Many companies
are now using online distance learning as
a source for training employees on equal
employment opportunity compliance issues.
Some advantages to training employees online
rather than having a full onsite training
session are that the training can be provided:

Since having employees attend any type
of training can disrupt the normal conduct
of daily business, especially when many
employees are pulled out of work at the
same time, in some instances it can be better
to have the employees take the training
at their leisure when they have the time
instead of forcing them to attend the training
at a specific time.
Additionally, the cost to conduct in-house
trainings or offsite trainings can extend
beyond a company's budget, yet not conducting
trainings on equal employment opportunity
issues can open the company up to liability
risks. Online training provides a cheaper
alternative to conducting trainings in-house
or offsite yet offers documentation of good
faith efforts to educate the staff and management,
thereby limiting the company's liability
in discrimination suits.
Finally, many companies do not have the
time to invest in attending training sessions
offsite or removing all employees from their
normal work schedules to attend training
onsite. Therefore, providing the training
online can be conducted faster
and effectively.
