New NAA-approved Courseware in RealPage
EasyLMS® Generates Operational Improvements and Cost Savings for
Property Management Companies that Improve Profitability
RealPage, Inc., a leading global provider of software and data
analytics to the real estate industry, today announced a
partnership with the National Apartment Association Education
Institute (NAAEI), the education and training arm of the National
Apartment Association (NAA). The partnership provides users of the
RealPage Learning Management System, EasyLMS®, access to free
NAA-approved courseware for industry credential renewals, as well
as integrated reporting to easily manage employee NAA credential
status. The new service provides cost savings and creates
operational improvements at the property level that positively
impact efficiency and profitability at Property Management
Companies.
“Property Management Companies typically expect their employees
to obtain NAA industry credentials related to various on-site
positions, and employees value the career development and
recognition associated with these NAA credentials,” said Katie
McCaslin, Vice President, Product Learning Solutions, at RealPage.
“Historically, the costs and challenges associated with
credentialing and tracking those credentials have been
unnecessarily complex. Now with EasyLMS®, companies and employees
can save a portion of the continuing education credits expense by
accessing our NAA-approved courseware offering and integrated
reporting capabilities at no additional cost.”
With the new offering, users can satisfy a portion of the
required continuing education credits (CEC) for their NAA
credential renewal across a variety of functions, providing
approximately $760 savings per user within two years. The
partnership also allows EasyLMS® users to display their NAA
industry credentials status directly in the LMS platform, enabling
companies and employees to track and manage CEC quickly and easily.
Until this option was available via EasyLMS®, companies did not
have a seamless view into the status of their employees’ NAA
industry credentials.
“We’re excited to make this available to our customers,” added
McCaslin. “In addition to the immediate cost savings, we’re helping
our customers improve operations, increase the bench strength of
their teams, and drive workforce optimization. Educated employees
increase operational efficiencies given their expanded knowledge
associated with their roles, which in turn helps drive
profitability for the company.”
RealPage offers more than 55 hours of CEC content on EasyLMS®.
NAA-approved courses available through EasyLMS® include options for
a variety of credentials: CALP (Certified Apartment Leasing
Professional), CAMT (Certificate for Apartment Maintenance
Technician), AIME (Apartment Institute for Maintenance Excellence),
CAM (Certified Apartment Manager), and CAPS (Certified Apartment
Portfolio Supervisor).
EasyLMS® has completely reimagined how employees learn. Using a
strategic approach, RealPage coined “active engagement,” which
motivates with game mechanics to engage and educate employees.
EasyLMS® removes barriers to learning, enhances the learning
experience and establishes learning as a culture to activate users’
potential. With its new NAA partnership, RealPage provides even
more opportunities to drive workforce optimization across on-site
teams.
The offering was made available in February and more than two
dozen companies and nearly 10,000 employees are already
participating. BH Management Services and Blue Ridge Companies have
experienced positive results across their teams:
Christi Weinstein, VP Support Operations, with BH Management
Services, stated, “The partnership between RealPage EasyLMS® and
NAAEI enables our employees to easily manage and maintain their NAA
Industry Credentials which helps ensure our teams stay current and
active within our industry. With our ability to quickly run reports
and gain insights on the status of our employees’ credentials,
we’re now able to help support them in their efforts to keep their
credentials current. With no additional cost associated with this
feature, it creates a high impact and value-add for BH Management
team members – a win-win!”
Additionally, Shana Golladay, Director of Education and
Training, with Blue Ridge Companies said, “The integration of NAAEI
and EasyLMS® has been a game-changer! Our associates can see the
status of their NAAEI credentials on the Learner dashboard when
they log in to EasyLMS®. I can quickly pull a report to see the
status of all our associates’ NAAEI credentials at any time. This
feature has saved me time because I no longer have to research
through the NAAEI credential directory to review renewal
status.”
