Case Study: Four Oaks Family and Children's Services achieves stronger compliance and $30K training cost savings with Relias

Four Oaks - Customer Case Study

Four Oaks Family and Children’s Services, a Iowa-based nonprofit serving youth and families, faced growing training and compliance challenges: training DVDs were failing, state education requirements were increasing, and volunteer trainers couldn’t scale to serve staff across the state. With 900+ active users and contracts tied to meeting child welfare training deliverables, the organization needed a more reliable, trackable solution.

Four Oaks implemented the Relias Learning LMS to move training online, centralize reporting, and integrate HR functions with ADP. The switch eliminated paper records, simplified accreditation reporting (COA reaccreditation praised their training), reduced travel and speaker costs, and delivered about $30,000 in first‑year savings while giving managers ready access to compliance and course-status reports.
