About this course
These days, many employees work from home or remotely rather than in a traditional office setting.
While this flexibility often offers a better work-life balance, it also presents risks related to health and safety, cyber security and privacy.
This course provides practical guidance to help remote workers understand their legal obligations, maintain confidentiality and protect personal and organisational information while working from home.
What the course covers
- Work Health and Safety
- Bullying and harassment
- Vicarious liability
- Confidentiality
- Privacy
What people can do afterwards
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand their work health and safety obligations when working remotely.
- Recognise bullying and harassment risks in home-based work environments.
- Understand privacy obligations when working from home.
- Protect confidential information and organisational data.
- Apply safe and compliant remote work practices.
How it is delivered
- Structured learning Designed for learners who are new to the topic or want a comprehensive overview. The course explores the subject in detail and typically takes 35–40 minutes to complete.
Two ways to run it
-
Your policies, your scenarios
We rebuild “Working from Home – Compliance” around how your organisation actually works, so the training changes behaviour instead of recording completions.

Ready to run as it is
Deploy the course off the shelf, with light branding if you want it. Delivered with our partner Safetrac, who will contact you directly.
Deploy off the shelf
Either way, you can run it through our compliance platform or take it as a SCORM package for the LMS you already have.
What it costs
Off-the-shelf pricing starts at $4,000 a year for up to ten courses with your logo and colours applied, rising with how much you want changed. The tiers are the same across the catalogue, so they are set out once on the pricing page rather than repeated on all 101 courses.
If what you actually need is your own scenarios and your own policies rather than a reskin, that is a custom build, and it is the work Hungry Minds does.
Choosing an LMS
If you don’t currently have an LMS, we can help you select a platform that suits your organisation.
For smaller teams or organisations getting started, we typically recommend LearnWorlds for its ease of use and quick setup.For organisations requiring more advanced functionality and reporting, TalentLMS is a strong option.
