Some of the common reasons employees give for not completing their LMS courses is that they couldn’t find the time in their day or simply forgot about it until the deadline had passed.

And while repeated reminders leading up to a course deadline can be helpful in combating the above, HR teams should also consider a more tangible reminder, by blocking off time on the employee’s calendar on the day of the course deadline.

With this Recipe, you can block off time in your employees’ calendars so there’s no excuse not to complete their course. When an employee is assigned a course in the company’s LMS, Rippling will automatically create a Google Calendar event as a reminder and placeholder on the course’s due date.

Want to limit this workflow to only certain LMS courses? As with all our workflow Recipes, you can customize this template to your exact needs, including when it should trigger, what the actions should be, who it should go to and more.
