Case Study: Hammer Residences achieves improved staff confidence and HIPAA-compliant training with LMS365

LMS365 helps employees at Hammer Residences feel supported through training

Hammer Residences, Inc., a Minnesota nonprofit serving adults and children with intellectual disabilities, needed a more reliable, HIPAA-compliant way to train and support its staff so employees could feel confident in their roles. Their previous LMS lacked key features such as certification expiration tracking, email reminders, easy module building, and reliable user accounts, and limited vendor support left the training team overloaded with data-entry and technical tasks.

The organization selected LMS365, a cloud learning platform that integrates with SharePoint and Active Directory, and rolled it out in stages to 550 employees in 2018. LMS365 simplified course creation, automated tracking and reminders, reduced paper use, and enabled real-time progress visibility (with Power BI reporting and Stream-hosted tutorials), leading to higher user confidence and strong positive feedback from Program Managers while improving compliance and administrative efficiency.
