FAQs
When you change or edit a course, is there anyway to remove this from the L&D report as this is skewing our compliance stats?
If you have assigned a course to an employee in the LMS platform, you can also remove the assignment which would then remove that learning for that employee. This would then remove the record from the L&D Report.
Does using GO1 require an additional cost for existing to access their existing content?
To access the Go1 library and the pre-existing resources this requires an add-on subscription which would be an additional charge, but it doesn’t cost you anything to build in your own content.
How do you access the learning through a mobile app?
The LMS software cannot currently be access through a mobile app.
Can you customise notifications in EH for the LMS? Or should you turn on notifications in Go1 and use the notifications within that platform instead?
You can’t disabled the notification in EH, but if you have enabled Employment Hero Learning the notifications should be disabled in Go1 by default (if they are not they can be switched off in Go1). They would then mean that when you assign content, Go1 won’t send through any notifications but EH will send a notification to the employee which will prompt them to log in to their EH platform where they will be able to access their learning through one click from EH>Go1. This means they do not have to log in to the Go1 software separately, they just need to log in to EH and then they will be able to click straight through to the LMS software.
Can we upload content from another provider if the files are a SCORM file and can we upload our own content as a PowerPoint?
You can upload a SCORM in Go1. There are other various ways you can add content, such as uploading a document, a video or a link to web content.
Are you able to link learning modules from other platforms through the LMS – so content link would be via the LMS but the content sits on anoher platform?
You could have links within the learning module/course that links out to other systems. You can also load in files into the LMS platform in a scorm/tin can format allowing that learning content to be built into the LMS platform
We have a weekly reoccuring virtual L&D session delivered via MS Teams. How can we easily track attendance of this weekly L&D session (topic within the session changes each week) in LMS? Ideally we don’t want to have to create a separate event each week which staff have to register for as at the moment its just a reoccurring event in outlook with attendees captured in MS Teams.
Good question, we haven’t considered this before. We don’t really cater for this but you could create the course, weekly if needed, and assign to the relevant people. You can then all follow along with the course/learning during your L&D sessions and track the completions. You can assign the 30 attendees in bulk saving you plenty of time or create a group and then assign that way
Will the LMS be accessible from an app in the future?
Yes we are always looking to improve this and will work with Go1 and our prodcut team to make Learning available on the mobile app also.
How configurable is the reporting of L&D?
Reporting is customisable through the LMS and you can see more on this here.
The Go1 subscription is too much for us, but our current provider can provide SCORM files. Could we upload them into the LMS without using GO1?
The LMS software is Go1. Just to confirm, our partnership allows all of our clients on our Premium and Platinum tier access to use the Go1 software to build in their own learning content. The Go1 subscription charge is only to access the Go1 learning library. If you have interactive files (i.e. SCORM) then you should theoretically be able to be able to build in your own learning content by uploading those interactive files.
Is there a helpdesk where we can contact for troubleshooting?
Depending the detail needed my answer might change but in essence you could create a course or learning item and have the certification loaded in order to tick off the learning. Like in the HR platform where you can have a certification and upload the certificate to prove you have done it. The other option might be to create a course that allows for the employee to view the link to external learning, and then have them upload the certificate of completion, or to answer questions to prove the employee has watched/read the other learning
Is there any way to customise notifications in EH? There are a lot of options for notifications in Go1 and wonder if we have the same functionality in EH? Would like to understand how to send reminders as an example? Or if this is automated, what does this look like?
Unfortunately it is not possible to customise notifications through EH at this time. We do unfortunately have some limitations as the LMS is a third party software and the only email trigger we have currently is when content is assigned. Whilst this is not possible currently, Employment Hero is always looking at ways we can make improvements to all of our features and integrations.
I tried to make my own videos via Vimeo free – it wouldn’t play when uploaded – can someone let me know what platform I should use to make inhouse videos to upload to the LMS?
Vimeo should be fine to use, but if you can share the error you might receive then we can look into further. Might be best to get this across to our support team
Can you add other learning material platforms instead of GO1?
If you have learning in the barebones format i.e.. tincan/scorm file formats, they can be uploaded into the LMS platform in order build out courses if you wish. You can’t upload pre-made courses but you can build them out in the LMS formats available.
Do any new staff automatically flow over to the Go1 system?
Yes new users will flow across to the connected LMS platform
What’s the quickest way to check what EH subscription you have (platinum/premium)?
As an Admin you can view this from you Dashboard under the ‘Feature Setup’ Tab on your HR platform. Here you will see your current plan.
Is there additional cost when you enable LMS? With the Platinum subscription?
No, the LMS is included in your Platinum Subscription.
I’m an admin – can I see everyone not just my direct reports in Learning Management?
If you are an admin user in the LMS platform then yes you’ll see absolutely everyone.
Can you hide content from a particular employee? If you would like them to have access to EH as Admin but not have access to payroll etc?
In HR it’s not possible to limit an admins access. As a full admin user you have access to everything. Instead you can use Custom Security Settings (found under settings) to grant non-admins access to the additional features or details they should have access to view, without being made an admin.
We don’t have GO1 as an Add On, but we use it. Should we go ahead and go through setting as an Add-on? Is there any benefits that way?
If you have a Go1 account then you can integrate with Go1. Outside that you would be best to integrate with EH Learning if you don’t have a Go1 account.
I cannot see Go1, only EH?
Unless you have an existing Go1 subscription that you wish to connect to, you can just access EH learning – if you do have a Go1 subscription that you want to connect and can’t see the option here please reach out to our support team so can take a further look into this.
We have integrated with Go1 but our independent contractors have not been added to Go1. Is there a way to add or import the independent contractors in Go1 without having to create them manually?
Independent Contractors don’t work the exact same as employees and as such they don’t sync to the LMS platform. You would need to add them manually if you need them on the LMS.
What is the difference between EH learning and Go1?
They are the same thing effectively but clients who have a direct contract with Go1 will use Go1 and those who wish to either use the LMS platform in a free version, or paid version through EH, will use EH Learning.
Is there any calendar integration available for Events?
There is no calendar integration for events currently.
In EH how would you link several courses to build a learning plan for a specific role?
To add multiple courses into the one piece of learning, you can add via an Award.
The manager column in my administer is showing the personal email address, we need to use company email address?
The account emails (the email a user uses to sign into Employment Hero) are imported into Go1 from EH as this is the unique identifier. It is important to note, however, that when an employee is enrolled to a learning item, an email notification will be sent from Employment Hero to advise the employee of being enrolled in the learning item and this email will be sent by EH to the company email stored on their employee file in EH.
Only once you get into Go 1 (not in EH? I can only see my direct reports?
Admins in the LMS platform can be set up via your initials in the top right corner > Administer > users > change their roles there.
Can external learning be recorded? i.e First Aid
Yes it can, but you’d need to build in the learning items and/or course to record the learning against.
Can you pick which email address is pulled across from Employment Hero? I.e. work email vs. personal?
You cannot choose the email – the email that will be pulled across will be their account email (the email that is used to sign into EH) as this is the unique identifier. Please note, however, that when you assign content to an employee an email will be generated from Employment Hero to advise them of being assigned to that learning content and this will be sent to the company email that is stored in the employee’s HR file.
Can you bulk update already loaded users? For example updating multiple users assigned manager?
Yes, you can – learn more here.
In EH Learning Management, you can only see your direct reports. You have to go into Go 1 to see everyone. Is that correct?
The Learning Management tab on EH will show your direct reports. As an admin, you can run the assigned learning report in EH which will allow you to report on all employees and the courses assigned to them.
Is there a way to upload an in house made video as a course?
Absolutely videos can be uploaded in a course. Celia will touch on this in the webinar.
Can this be used to give quizzes to potential candidates before hiring them?
Unfortunately not. The LMS typically pushes employee data from HR to the LMS. You’d need to do this by adding the prospect manually but overall it is not an ideal situation and probably won’t work that well.
Can you have it available to some employees (not all) i.e. permanent staff not casual staff?
Yes, you can choose who you’re assigning content to. Groups could be used to assign content to certain groups of people.
I notice that Celia has assigned courses, but there is also an enrol option. Is this different?
Yes this is different:
Assign- allows you to set up a due date course needs to be completed by.
Enrolling- allows you to put the item in their learning page but no due date attached to that item.
Can we allocate a deadline to complete modules (such as onboarding)?
You can set a deadline for courses and other learning items by assigning them as this allows you to set a due date. There is no deadline able to be set for onboarding in HR though.
Is there an option for Admin to delete a course if wrongly created?
There is no ability to completely delete the course. You’d need to unpublish this.
What is the advantage of uploading a document here rather than in EH?
Great question! You’d perhaps upload a document in LMS if it is part of a course. For example if I build a training course built up of different modules, then I may have some documents, perhaps some videos and also a learning assessment at the end. Including the document groups it as part of that course. If I have standalone documents (i.e. such as policies) then I would perhaps choose to have those in Employment Hero rather than LMS.
Does this mean we only pay for users who are using the system (not all our employees)?
Billing is based on users on the system so should mirror the HR system for the most part.
How do you edit your learning content once created?
Under ‘created by my portal’, can Admins edit/delete any content created by other Admin for BCP reasons?
Admins can edit any content created within your portal. Deleting is not an option however
Is location restricted to Zoom link only for events? Or can we use Teams meeting links?
No, it is not only restricted to Zoom. You can use a Teams link!
How do you delete or archive a course?
What is the difference between creating a course vs an award for say onboarding?
A course is a single course whereas an award is multiple courses combined – learn more here.
Can we unpublish? How do we get rid of content that is no longer relevant or outdated? Our platform is already incredibly cluttered with irrelevant courses we no longer need. If we can’t remove them it only becomes more difficult to navigate additional content it loaded in.
Yes, you can unpublish – learn more here.
Will the due date be from date of assignment for each individual?
Yes, it will.
Is there an ability to make a course mandatory/optional? Ideally mandatory ones would be automatically assigned to all or a group…
To do this, you would need to create a group or an award to separate between the two. Learn more in these guides: https://help.go1.com/en/articles/1691736-how-to-create-an-award and https://help.go1.com/en/articles/2435600-add-users-to-a-group-in-bulk
Do ‘teams’ from HR platform come through to Go1 for assigning training for example?
No unfortunately not. You can recreate in Go1 as ‘Groups’
How and where are employees notified of assigned learning?
Employees can be emailed and they will also see the assigned learning in the HR platform.
For optional courses for all employees, would you recommend group, standard created by my portal or playlist?
Yes, creating a playlist is a great option here.
Can you preview course you have created before you publish the content to staff?
Yes you can preview it before you assign to employees.
Can you bulk remove content from your library? This is really slow to do individually.
You can’t delete but you’d need to unpublish – learn more here.
Are there any guides for creating L&D courses … new feature for our business?
What is the benefits/difference between the 3, for users to be able to most easily find and complete courses?
Groups are great for replicating the teams functionality on the Employment Hero HR platform and is the best way for assigning learning to a large number of people. Playlists are made up of curated content that admins can put together for employees to explore and learn more about particular topics and do not require a due date. Courses are best for assigning learning that needs to be completed by a specific date.
If you are a Platinum EH user do you pay for the LMS add-on ?
A Platinum subscription includes access to the software to build your own content. However, if you would like access to the Learning Plus subscription to access the pre-made content library this will be an additional cost.
Can you please provide the user guide (if available) which steps through clearly each of the access and variation points within the LMS?
Go1’s help centre is where all guides can be found. You can view these guides by visiting: https://help.go1.com/en/
I saw something about weekly training, but now I can’t find. That would be useful. We find GO1 has potential but a mystery
Go1 provides weekly webinar based platform training and you can register for these sessions here.
How do you make online learning a social process?
There are lots of different ways that you can make online learning a social process. Using instant messaging tools such as Slack is a great place to start. We suggest creating a learning channel where daily resources can be shared and encouraging employees to share new things they are learning on this channel. You can use tools such as Zoom to create break out discussion groups and the use of a group or learning buddy to hold employees accountable throughout learning is a really great way of creating a social learning environment online.
I like the idea of collaborative social learning, can you provide an example of a team learning plan/objective that everyone is accountable for?
This works best when done at a team level. The manager can assign a piece of learning to the team with a deadline for completion. On the completion date, the manager sets a follow up meeting for the team to come together and discuss/share their findings. Think of it as a book club where each week or month the group is assigned learning that they must complete and then come together to discuss. We find monthly works best, with each month having a focus on a key skill. For example a pathway dedicated to project management might follow a format like this:
January = Project Management Tasks
February =Types of projects
March = Initiating a project
April = Building the project team
May = Creating the project schedule
Alternatively the learning buddy option also works very well. It works the same as the above put people are paired up and complete the online learning at the same time, either in person or virtually, so that they can engage with one another, ask each other questions, collaboratively come up with answers and work through the learning.
Is there a way to hide ‘documents’ created and uploaded into the LMS from staff when they click on explore? We have many documents which then form part of a course. We only want staff to view/access the course, not the individual documents as some of the documents need to be viewed in conjunction with other documents in order to make sense.
There is no option to hide documents, other than to keep a learning item or course ‘unpublished’ on the platform. If the course is in private mode and/or unpublished, no other users except the admin can access it. To clarify, there isn’t an option to have some documents visible and ‘not visible’ to employees within a course. If the documents are within a course, they will be visible to all those who are assigned the course.
Can you please advise how much the Learning Plus pre-made content is?
There are two options: you can either provide your employees with access to the full content library ($14 AUD per employee per month) or a customisable 20-course bundle ($10 AUD per employee per month).
Can a Go1 course embed or link to the Induction/Policies tabs on EH?
You can list a link within a course, however you cannot embed a link.
How can a manager see all reports in the learning management, rather than just their direct reports? E.g if they have 3 direct reports, but under them there are 30 people; how does the senior manager see the records for all staff members? They are not an admin in Go1 and will not be given this permission.
Unfortunately a manager can only administer their direct report. To encourter this visibility of reporting, the only solution is to make the manager an Admin. You can read more about this here.
If we want to upload video, does the link still need to come from youtube? Or we could just upload our own videos directly from one of our shared folders?
The Go1 platform supports YouTube and Vimeo links. You can also upload your own video if the video is an MP4 with a maximum size is 5GB.
If content is edited, how do you know which version of the content somebody has actually completed?
Whenever content is updated, the status of learners with “not started” and “completed” will not be impacted. “Completed” learners won’t be prompted to start the updated version, and “not started” learners will be see the updated version once they access the content.
Any “in progress” learners will continue accessing the old version. If you want them to restart with the updated version of a particular learning item, you will have to delete their current enrolment and ask them to start it again for them. To identify which version an employee has completed, you will need to cross-reference the completion date with the date the latest version was published.
If I unpublish a course, how can I get it to NOT show in My Teaching?
All courses (both published and unpublished) will show in My Teachings if you are the author of that content. To remove unpublished content from My Teachings, you could remove yourself as the author, but if you choose to do so, we strongly recommend leaving at least one author on the learning content. If there is no author, no one will be able to edit in future.
Any “in progress” learners will continue accessing the old version. If you want them to restart with the updated version of a particular learning item, you will have to delete their current enrolment and ask them to start it again for them.

If someone is terminated in HR platform, are they automatically removed from the LMS?
Employees access the LMS via Employment Hero HR, so they will no longer be able to access the LMS platform via your organisation.
If staff have undertaken education somewhere other than this platform, how can you record their attendance at the session so all learning is registered through the platform?
The platform can only reflect the completion of learning content that exists within the platform. If an employee has competed the same course elsewhere, and the content is within the platform, they will need to complete it again. On the bright side, it shouldn’t take them long! For learning content outside of the platform, you could require a certificate of completion to be uploaded as a certification and assign it as mandatory for the relevant employees (more details here).
Where is the completion certificate being displayed in the Assigned learning report?
Certificates are not currently displayed on the Assigned Learning Report within the Employment Hero HR platform. Certificates would need to be downloaded from the LMS and then uploaded into the HR platform as a certification. On the LMS platform, learners can access their certifications from their ‘My Learning’ page. From an admin’s view, you can access learner certifications from the course itself, the manage page of the course or the enrolments tab or the learner’s profile.
Can data from Go1 be imported into BI software such as PowerBi?
Go 1 has advised that they are not certain it will work, but you are welcome to test and try as it may be possible.
How do you search for playlists?
Click on the ‘explore’ tab and then use the search bar function to search for playlists
Is there a way for a manager to be notified to assess that a user has completed the assigned course correctly?
Each time learning is completed by an employee, their assigned manager will receive a notification that the learning has been completed. You can also manage the notifications you wish for everyone to receive under the Settings > Notifications tab. If you are looking to track how well your employees are understanding learning content, you can include items like quizzes and assignments in your courses to make things as interactive as you wish!
