Content Differences Between HSI and Litmos

Learning Experience

HSI employs subject matter experts (SMEs) when creating and curating our library of video-based training content. Our courses are categorized into 38 of the Korn Ferry competencies. HSI’s microlearning videos are based on adult learning theory and paired with training reinforcement tools and downloadable course materials. Compliance-based courses are topically bundled and have transitions when longer content is placed into microlearning lengths. We pride ourselves on the quality, relevance, and effectiveness of our training videos. Our LMS is user-friendly, consistent, and intuitive.

Within Litmos’ library, they offer courses from a large variety of providers. Thus, many different styles of training and content inconsistencies. It appears time-consuming for training administrators to be able to review and assign the appropriate courses.

Leadership Training

HSI offers leadership training to all our clients. Our training is a valuable resource for managers at all levels, with small or large teams, at the beginning or middle of their careers. Our collection of short-form leadership training courses helps empower and develop strong leaders. We cover leadership lessons on the important characteristics of becoming a great leader, mentorship mistakes leaders make, strategic and transformational leadership, succession planning, and much more. Our leadership training supports seasoned leaders by refreshing their existing skills and helps younger leaders develop new ones. HSI’s short-form video courses remove the stress and time commitment of traditional long-form training videos.

Litmos only offers leadership training in a select collection of courses.

State-Specific Harassment Compliance Training

Our workplace sexual harassment compliance training courses will keep you in legal compliance with state and federal regulations while creating a respectful, safe, and fair environment for your employees. We offer state-specific anti-harassment compliance courses for California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, New York City and New York State, and more.

Litmos only offers state-specific harassment compliance training in select course collections.

Safety Training

HSI has 2.7M award-winning safety training course completions a year. Our Safety Training Needs Assessment helps you connect the dots between your workforce training program and what the law requires. The HSI content department works with safety experts from multiple industries to ensure our content meets regulatory requirements and best practices. Critically important to safety training, we produce 3D animations to show scenarios that cannot be replicated using live-action or static pictures. HSI uses cutting-edge motion capture and Hollywood-level production software, investing heavily in the media used in courses to ensure our content stands out and successfully engages with the learner.

Litmos’ safety training appears to be limited in comparison to HSI’s. You may want to ask their salesperson to verify how many safety courses they offer, what regulations the training meets, who they utilize as content experts, and how often the courses are updated to comply with changing OSHA regulations.

Industrial Skills Training

HSI has one of the strongest, deepest Industrial Skills training program libraries for utility and energy companies. The training library, with more than 500 off-the-shelf courses, provides technical training for power, manufacturing, central utility, oil, and gas industries. Our comprehensive technical training provides a single source for preparing system operators, qualified electric workers, and maintenance workers to perform their roles efficiently and reliably. We offer off-the-shelf online or instructor-led training and custom development for your specific needs. Advanced 3D modeling animation goes “inside” electrical distribution centers, boilers, manufacturing machinery, and more, to give employees a deep understanding of the machines they work on.

Litmos does not offer Industrial Skills training.

OSHA 10- and 30-Hour Training for Certification

HSI is part of an exclusive list of companies recognized as an OSHA-Authorized Online Outreach Training Provider for OSHA 10 and 30 training. HSI is also the only provider on the market to provide updated, engaging content for OSHA 10 and 30 in both English and Spanish.

Litmos is not included on the list of OSHA-authorized companies for OSHA 10 and 30 training.

In our research, we did not come across any publicly available courses on Litmos’ website.

EHS Platform

HSI’s offering goes beyond simply training. HSI has a robust EHS platform that allows companies to manage incidents, JSAs, assets, safety datasheets, and more. Our LMS and training content are part of this platform, making HSI one of the only providers, if not the only provider, that allows managers to assign training as part of their EHS process. For example, an incident at the workplace can be logged, and training can be assigned as part of the corrective action. Here’s a look at just a few of the areas where our EHS platform can help: Safety Management System, Asset Management, Audit Management, Chemical Management, Hazard Management, and Incident Management. Our configurable technology allows you to create workflows, automations, reports, and more to help promote safety, compliance, and training in your workplace.

Course Consideration Differences Between HSI and Litmos

Single-Source Provider

HSI takes pride in being a single-source partner for EHS, Compliance, and Professional Development solutions. Your company does not need to contract with multiple providers to source all the different types of training you require. This saves your company money as well as the management time spent dealing with several vendors.

With Litmos, you’ll need to go to other providers for such subject matter, certifications, and software.

Our Customer Success Managers (CSMs) provide a high-touch service that begins with your implementation and continues with ongoing support throughout the duration of your contract. Each client is assigned a CSM who will remain with them to help with everything from launch support, training on our platform, course recommendations, and more, all to help you meet your learning goals.

Litmos has a 4-tiered implementation support program based on a specific plan. Personalized ongoing support at an additional cost. They have an online customer portal with help documents.
