Emtrain integrates natively with Workday Learning, bringing best-in-class skills-based compliance training to your HRIS — no more extra log-ins, roster uploads, or lengthy onboarding. Most importantly, no more sacrificing quality for efficiency.
People leaders can reduce that administrative burden on their teams, while simultaneously giving their employees the skills they need to stay in the green. Emtrain is the only compliance trainer that teaches policies like they’re skills — not rules. Admins will also gain access to Emtrain Intelligence, uncovering HR and people risk through employee training, all without leaving the Workday ecosystem.
Here’s what makes the integration powerful:
Streamline training delivery, skills development, and compliance tracking in one environment. Eliminate manual file uploads and reduce your reliance on external platforms by managing it all within Workday.
Emtrain courses teach real-world decision-making, not just rules. Each lesson builds essential leadership and compliance skills — advancing employee development while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Every training experience captures real-time data on how employees apply critical skills like ethics, respect, and decision-making — giving you early visibility into strengths and risk areas needing improvement.
We measure employees’ responses to workplace scenarios, so you can identify hot spots and hone in on skills that require further development.
SCORM requires downloading individual content files from Emtrain, uploading them to manually created Workday courses, and manual content metadata maintenance (eg. title, description, thumbnail, changes). With the CCL integration, Emtrain content is synced to your Workday Learning library as external courses, eliminating the need for manual content uploads & updates.
Additionally, Learners will need to authenticate into Emtrain via SSO and will experience a slightly different Learner environment (To Do list with potentially multiple content titles, Completed tab showing all finished training, etc.).
An SSO integration is required for Learners to authenticate into Emtrain when launching courses from Workday. We also strongly recommend using Emtrain’s HRIS integration to import your user roster to ensure accurate progress & completion tracking.
While you do not need to purchase any additional Emtrain products to enable this integration, you DO need to have an active subscription from Workday for Workday Cloud Connect for Learning (CCLRN) SKU. For more information and possible fees please contact your Workday Account Team.
No, you will need to manually select and sync new Emtrain content to Workday as we want to give admins complete control over what Emtrain content is imported to Workday and certain content titles require configuration prior to sync (eg. adding missing policies).
Yes, you will need to import your Learner user roster into Emtrain to create accounts for all of your learners before they can access Emtrain content* through this integration. We strongly recommend you set up an HRIS integration to import your user roster automatically.
*Note: alternatively you can enable Just-In-Time provisioning to automatically create Emtrain Learner accounts the first time a Learner launches Emtrain content from Workday and authenticates via SSO. These Learner accounts would be populated with the information your SSO system provides.
You will still be able to access Emtrain’s Analytics & Insights features without issue.
Training completion reports will not be available in Emtrain, but Learner usage & training data is tracked and available for review on Emtrain’s Learning Activity Reports. Admins can also see the learner progress & completion data in Workday Learning .
