Challenge
Required training is easier to complete when it is harder to overlook.
Haynes Boone wanted a more effective way to keep required learning visible. Rather than expecting employees to remember to check another system, the firm chose to display training information inside the employee portal they already used throughout the day.
Using the UniversitySite SDK, the portal retrieves current learning data in real time and presents outstanding requirements where they are far more likely to be seen.
“We realized that mandatory training compliance was not adequately visible. Surfacing that information in the right places—and making it easy for leadership to review compliance status—led us to incorporate UniversitySite into our employee portal.”
Integration
Bringing learning data into an existing workflow
Instead of changing employee habits, Haynes Boone extended its existing employee portal with information from UniversitySite.
Employees can immediately see outstanding required training without opening another application, while leadership gains greater confidence that important learning requirements remain visible across the firm.
The result is a connected experience that fits naturally into the firm's existing technology environment rather than requiring employees to adapt to a new workflow.
“Clients increasingly ask about completion of security awareness training, and we are regularly audited. Our employee portal integration with UniversitySite has been very helpful in keeping that requirement visible.”
The API
Extend UniversitySite without replacing it
UniversitySite includes an API that allows firms to incorporate learning and compliance information into their own applications, portals, and workflows.
Whether the goal is surfacing required training, building custom dashboards, integrating with firm systems, or supporting unique business processes, the platform is designed to be extended while remaining fully supported.
