Consolidating HR and Compliance Workflows
This integration is designed to address the operational pressure faced by HR and compliance leaders. By embedding Emtrain's analytics and training directly into the Workday platform, organizations can unify their compliance training and skill-building initiatives. This consolidation helps reduce manual administrative tasks, minimizes the complexity of managing multiple systems, and provides employees with easier access to necessary training through a single, familiar interface.
Seamless Administration and Real-Time Intelligence
A key benefit of the integration is the automation of content management. Administrators can sync their curated Emtrain content library to Workday, and any future updates are automatically reflected, saving hours typically spent on manual SCORM file uploads. Furthermore, the integration goes beyond simple tracking. The behavioral risk signals and pulse questions embedded within Emtrain's scenario-based courses generate early indicators of cultural or compliance risk, providing HR leaders with actionable, team-level intelligence. "By embedding our analytics and training into the Workday platform, we're helping make it easier for organizations to build skills and act on workforce risk data in sync with existing workflows," said Janine Yancey, Emtrain CEO.
Strategic Skill Building and Enhanced Discovery
The partnership also enhances strategic development planning. The integration enables skills mapping, allowing targeted microlearning to be assigned based on performance gaps or emerging compliance challenges. This feature, combined with simplified content discovery within Workday Learning, ensures that employees can easily find and complete training relevant to their roles and required competencies, all while supporting single sign-on (SSO) for a secure and streamlined user experience.
The Emtrain and Workday integration represents a significant step forward in making compliance training a more integrated and intelligent part of the HR technology stack. By moving beyond a standalone requirement and into a centralized, data-rich system, organizations are better equipped to build skills, mitigate risk, and foster a healthier workplace culture efficiently and at scale.
Emtrain provides compliance training and risk intelligence solutions that help organizations manage employee behavior and prevent issues before they escalate. Through scenario-based courses embedded with real-time risk assessments, Emtrain turns required training into a proactive diagnostic tool. Each learning experience captures data on behavior, ethics, and decision-making—empowering leaders to identify hotspots and intervene early. Topics include harassment prevention, bribery, insider trading, data privacy, and more, all developed by legal experts. With integrated analytics and behavior insights, Emtrain equips compliance and HR teams with the tools to benchmark culture, track improvements, and build safer, more ethical workplaces—where training drives measurable, strategic outcomes.
