Take Advantage of Technology

Over the past few years, the hospitality industry has seen major changes to the way business is done. Technology is arguably one of the most necessitating instigators of change and with the explosion of social media, customers (and potential customers) now have many new opportunities to learn about your establishment before they even set foot on your property.

Lodging operators that choose to resist electronic advantages, or simply ignore the opportunities technology can offer, may find that they have been replaced by the competition down the street that everyone is ‘tweeting’ about.  

Protecting Your Business’ Greatest Asset—Your Employees
In addition to effectively managing social media to protect and grow your business, another area in the industry where you don’t want to be left behind is employee training. At Liberty Northwest®, employee safety is always top of mind and we are continually looking for ways to deliver cutting-edge training to help protect your business’ greatest asset—your employees. As technology continues to advance, so does our ability to offer you tools to keep your business safe.

Online Web-based Training
A wide range of online safety and compliance training options are available through Liberty Northwest. The modules are self-paced and are easily accessed through the internet. Choose from more than 150 safety courses, many of which are industry-specific.

Streaming Video
Streaming video gives you on-demand, web-based access to safety and compliance videos, complete with facilitators guides. With a simple click of the mouse, you have over 300 courses easily within reach. And with the unlimited access, this is a perfect training option if you’re looking to cover multiple shifts or remote training.
 
Library of Online Resources
Tap into our online library that houses more than 800 safety and health topics and features customizable audio PowerPoint safety talks, quizzes, safety posters, safety clip art, accident reports, compliance articles and case summaries. The online resource covers 47 major safety training categories and is updated monthly.

Lending Library
We understand that there are times when it makes sense to conduct in-person training rather than using an online module. We provide access to more than 300 health and safety DVDs and videos from a variety of topics to create a perfect training tool for any safety meeting.

Custom Webinars
As a leader in employee safety training, we regularly provide opportunities for industry specific webinars. Many of these online training options provide the opportunity for students to interact with the instructor and ask questions.

Catalog of Resources
There may be times when you just aren’t sure what training topic you are looking for. Our customers have access to an online catalog with more than 300 safety and health videos, with no rental fees. Brochures, booklets, tear sheets and posters allowing you to customize an entire program or simply focus on a specific area of concern are also available.

Employee Safety Survey
We’ve created an easy to follow, online survey to help customers identify strengths and weaknesses in essential areas of a safety and health program, such as management’s demonstrated commitment to safety, education and knowledge of workers, effectiveness of the supervisory process, and employee involvement and commitment.

Consulting Center and Field Team  
Liberty Northwest has a team of experienced and dedicated loss prevention consultants that help monitor losses and supply up to date safety and health information, literature and training resources. Our field team works with policyholders to complete a wide variety of work including in-person surveys, industrial hygiene evaluations, ergonomic evaluations and material handling assessments.

Drug Free Workplace Program
Our practical advice and ongoing assistance will help guide you through the issues and options of implementing and maintaining a successful drug free workplace program. The program resources and templates are posted online, making it easier than ever to get a program up and running.

Flexibility is the Key to Drive Success
At Liberty Northwest, we understand that one size does not fit all and it is important to have a number of training options when it comes to employee safety. In this fast-paced, ever-changing world, we strive to provide a wide-range of flexible, market-leading tools so you can customize a successful training program and drive success for your business. | COLLETTE VERSOZA, LIBERTY NORTHWEST
