Mandatory training programs are often met with lukewarm attitudes, with a view of the material as something you have to get through before you can begin your job. When employees approach training sessions with this state of mind, it is unlikely they will retain the information for long.
What if vital policy content was delivered to the trainee in small bites where they can fly through the information they already know and focus on unfamiliar topics to maximize their time? Using microlearning implements a process for engaging staff so they are invested in not only learning but also applying the policies, even in urgent and unexpected circumstances.
Why Passive Policy Training Isn't Enough
In public safety, healthcare, and government roles, policy isn't just paperwork; it's a guide to protecting people, managing crises, and delivering vital services. But too often, policy training is reduced to reading a document, signing an acknowledgment, and moving on. This passive, check-the-box approach leaves a dangerous gap between knowing the policy exists and being able to apply it in critical moments.
The problem lies in how people learn and forget. According to psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, without reinforcement, more than half of new information is forgotten within an hour. Within a week, up to 90% may be lost. This means that even well-designed training can become ineffective unless it includes a way to continuously reinforce knowledge.
For risk managers, training supervisors, and policy administrators, this reality poses a question: How do you ensure your workforce can not only recall the policy but also act on it, confidently and within policy, when it matters most?
The Power of AI Policy Training
PowerRecall addresses this issue. As an AI-driven digital flashcard system built with information you already have uploaded in PowerPolicy, PowerRecall transforms traditional policy training into an active learning experience rooted in the science of knowledge retention.
Unlike conventional methods that rely on PDFs, lectures, or one-time sessions, PowerRecall uses AI to convert your existing policy documents into interactive digital flashcards. The AI policy training then uses spaced repetition, a proven technique to improve long-term memory, to present this information at just the right time, before the learner forgets it.
Employees don’t just acknowledge a policy and move on. They engage with it, recall key points, and revisit it until it becomes second nature. From HIPAA protocols in a healthcare setting to use-of-force policies in law enforcement, PowerRecall helps ensure that critical information is always top of mind.
Making Policy Knowledge Stick with Spaced Repetition
Let’s talk more about the concept of spaced repetition. This method is one of the most effective strategies for long-term memory retention.
PowerRecall applies this theory using a proprietary algorithm, which personalizes review schedules for each user based on how well they remember specific content. Cards that are difficult to remember are shown more often, while mastered content is reviewed less frequently. This intelligent scheduling helps learners reinforce their memory in a way that is optimized for retention and efficiency.
Employees often describe using PowerRecall as "playing a game." The interactive nature of flashcards, paired with short, focused training sessions, makes it easier for learners to stay engaged, especially when compared to long-form content or passive reading.
Built Seamlessly into Your Existing Policy System
PowerRecall is fully integrated with PowerPolicy, which means there is no need to recreate or upload documents into a separate system. It works directly with the policies, procedures, and training content you already have in place.
Once SOPs are stored in PowerPolicy, PowerRecall uses augmented intelligence to generate digital flashcards with the click of a button. These cards are grouped into custom training decks aligned to specific roles, topics, or compliance needs. Admins can quickly review the AI-generated content, approve it, and distribute it to staff without any complex setup.
When policies are updated, PowerRecall flags outdated cards for review, ensuring AI training content stays accurate and aligned with current requirements. This makes training not just effective but efficient, with little additional burden on trainers and administrators.
AI Policy Training That Meets Employees Where They Are
PowerRecall was designed with flexibility in mind. The system is accessible from any device using the same mobile app that supports PowerPolicy. This mobile accessibility ensures that learners can complete training from their phones, tablets, or desktops, whether they’re on a shift, in transit, or in the office.
This accessibility is crucial in high-demand environments like healthcare and public safety, where time and focus are limited. With PowerRecall, employees can reinforce critical policies in just a few minutes a day, without needing to carve out large chunks of time or interrupt complex schedules.
A Closer Look at PowerRecall’s Core Features
PowerRecall doesn’t just provide flashcards. It delivers an end-to-end training system backed by useful data and insights. Track success and see how quickly your staff improves their knowledge of vital policies.
AI-Powered Card Generation
Cards are automatically created from the policies you already have. This saves training teams hours of manual work and ensures that the training content is always accurate, current, and relevant. Even if a policy changes, you will be alerted about which flashcards need updating.
Custom AI Training Decks
Flashcards are organized into decks by topic, policy, or role. You can even create a deck that aligns with a performance improvement plan for an employee. Whether you're preparing a team for a new regulatory standard, onboarding new hires, or refreshing seasonal protocols, you can create the right training for the right group in minutes.
Mobile Accessibility
Because PowerRecall integrates seamlessly with PowerPolicy and its app, your team doesn’t need to learn a new system. They can find the policy files and complete their PowerRecall training flashcards all in the same place, allowing them to engage with training anytime, anywhere, without interfering with daily assignments.
Comprehensive Reporting
Training supervisors get detailed reports on engagement, progress, and policy understanding. If you need to track compliance for an upcoming audit or identify knowledge gaps, PowerRecall gives you the data you need.
Analytics Dashboards
Dashboards give admins a real-time look into training effectiveness across users, content, and groups. You can quickly spot which policies are well-understood and which may need more attention.
Policy Retention in Action
Take, for example, Cincinnati ECC, which adopted PowerRecall to strengthen high-risk and under-trained policies.
Within 100 days of launch, the agency observed a 10% increase in the correct recall of policy and an improvement in the accuracy of welfare check classifications.
By converting their policy documents into digital flashcards and assigning them based on the specific needs of each employee, they saved time and money on training programs. With easy access to PowerRecall, staff could use their free moments to review a few flashcards rather than dedicating a whole day or more to attending a training session.
These aren't just training wins. They're operational wins that reduce risk, increase readiness, and improve efficiency.
How PowerRecall Stands Apart
When training sessions are synonymous with monotone Zoom calls and grueling PDF files, PowerRecall offers something different: a smart, integrated, scalable way to train teams on policy using tools you already have.
Unlike competitors, PowerRecall doesn’t require you to buy external content or configure new systems. It works with what you already own and does the heavy lifting for you.
Forget about building decks manually. When you have a policy update, expect fast alerts on the flashcards that need updating. You also don’t need to hunt for data to prove compliance. PowerRecall consolidates everything in one place, powered by AI, driven by science, and ready to be implemented in any workplace.
