ExpertusONE’s remote credentialing technology, ONE-Profile Card, paves the way for the future of work.

Proving and verifying skills have never been more important for companies and individuals. Here’s why: In a digital and hybrid-work environment, it’s difficult to verify the information and ensure accuracy. As web3 and the metaverse continue to evolve, this will only become more challenging. In order for companies to embrace hybrid and remote work models, they need systems in place that can confirm and verify that employees are equipped to carry out specific roles.

As more organizations look to embrace hybrid and remote work, they need safeguards in place to ensure the effectiveness of their teams. Leaders around the world are talking about “quiet quitting” and other concerns about employee responsibility at work. There have even been reports of companies spying on their employees to ensure productivity and efficacy at work. These leaders are taking the wrong approach, and it will almost surely backfire.

Instead, corporate leaders should prioritize the employee’s digital experience and equip them with tools that make their workday better—not burdened with increased pressure. This is where remote credentialing technology can be useful. Companies can use it as a tool to verify that their team members are staying on track with learning topics or to verify that the team is adequately trained to complete work. Individual employees can rely on remote credentialing technology to help them get their foot in the door for specialized assignments or to help them organize certifications in an accessible format.

Remote credentialing technology enables companies to verify team members’ skills no matter the location or context, ensuring safety across the board and empowering team members to thrive in their roles. ExpertusONE recently launched the ONE-Profile Card, a QR-code-based system that helps both managers and individuals track, verify, and share their credentials. The system integrates with the LMS software so that companies can distribute this remote credentialing tool to all learners and in all contexts.

Here’s why every company needs a remote credentialing tool in their learning tech stack.

Four Reasons to Leverage Remote Credentialing Technology

1. Remote credentialing technology benefits employees, leaders, and organizations.

Remote credentialing technology like ExpertusONE’s ONE-Profile Card is beneficial from the bottom to the top of a company’s organizational structure. For employees, remote credentialing technology means that they can easily track, manage, and showcase their skills in a work environment. Whether employees function as part of a remote, hybrid, or in-office team, access to credentials is essential—especially in highly technical environments like healthcare, manufacturing, and even technology.

Employees who invest their time and energy in pursuing further education, increased skills, and gaining certifications by completing employee training should be able to showcase that work.

Historically, the hiring process has been complex for both applicants and hiring managers. Sending paper-based documentation back and forth is cumbersome and disorganized, but with the ONE-Profile Card, skills can immediately be verified with a single QR-code scan.

Managers can benefit from the same ease that the ONE-Profile Card offers. In the context of on-site work, managers can scan certifications and track compliance for individual team members at any given time. Managers can determine team members’ certifications and learner history without logging into a separate external system. For companies already using the ExpertusONE enterprise LMS for other training initiatives, the remote credentialing system is already integrated with the company’s training system so that new certifications immediately appear on the employee’s record.

2. The ONE-Profile Card can be used to verify skills for gig workers or hybrid workers.

Gig work is on the rise. Amid the Great Attrition in 2021, a survey from Upwork found that skilled remote freelance work is on the rise. Even further, some 16% of all Americans said that they have earned money in a gig role, according to Pew Research. As more companies embrace the benefits of this type of work, skills verification will become increasingly important. The ONE-Profile Card is the first-of-its-kind solution to provide companies with a way to verify an individual’s skills.

This functionality is especially important in fields like healthcare, where skills must be verified in order to ensure both worker and patient safety. ExpertusONE’s ONE-Profile Card enables companies to more easily manage and verify employee credentials in a streamlined, integrated system.

3. The ONE-Profile Card provides a list of previously completed training courses and existing certifications.

One of the unique benefits of the ONE-Profile Card is that individuals can compile an entire library of credentials and certifications within a single system, even certifications that were completed prior to the employee’s tenure at that company. Individuals can input the courses they’ve taken and completed and upload certification documents to provide transparency and verification for those skills.

4. The QR functionality means that it’s easy to use.

The ONE-Profile Card is easy to use because the entire system can be accessed through the simple scan of a QR code, which is possible through the use of most smartphones or through applications. This ease of use is critical for companies embracing remote and hybrid work because it allows leaders to verify credentials without being connected to workplace hardware or devices.

The ExpertusONE remote credentialing technology, ONE-Profile Card, enables companies to embrace remote, hybrid, and gig-economy work without sacrificing high standards for compliance and certifications. With the QR-code-based system in hand—quite literally, as it’s accessible from mobile devices—employees and managers can verify skills and get to work.
