Epic has launched Epic Professional, a suite of e-leaming products designed to fit the needs of learning professionals across different sectors. The suite is designed to help organisations comply with workplace legislation.

Workplace legislation continues to develop in the UK. This autumn sees

the introduction of the Age Legislation due to come into force on October 1 st. Companies need to prepare for the effect of this legislation on recruitment, promotion, development, retirement, termination, perks and pay.

Another area covered by the Epic Professional range is absence from work, which costs the UK economy an estimated ?10-?12 billion each year. With the average direct cost per employee amounting to ?434 a year, organisations need to equip their line managers with the tools and support to handle absence professionally.

Epic says its product aims to provide managers with a personalised, structured programme of study to enhance their existing skills and develop new leadership strategies.
