Why Integrate Rippling with Workademy LMS?

Rippling manages your employee data, payroll, and benefits. Workademy manages your training and learning development. Together, they automate your entire employee lifecycle—from hire to retire.

Here's what happens when you integrate:
Day 1

New Employee Added in Rippling

  • Rippling sends employee data to Workademy automatically
  • Workademy creates LMS account instantly
  • Role-based training courses assigned
  • New hire receives welcome email with training access
No manual data entry. No CSV uploads. No waiting.
Day 30

Employee Changes Role

  • Update role in Rippling
  • Workademy automatically updates training assignments
  • Old training archived, new training assigned
  • Manager notified of updated training plan
Training always matches current role.
Day 365

Employee Leaves

  • Deactivate in Rippling
  • Workademy access removed automatically
  • Training records preserved in HR system
  • Compliance documentation retained
Clean offboarding, records preserved.

The result? Your HR team saves 5-10 hours per week on training administration. New hires start training on day one, not week two. Training completion data flows back to Rippling for unified reporting.

Perfect for:

Growing companies (50-2000 employees)
Companies using Rippling for HR/payroll
Teams frustrated with manual LMS user management
Organizations needing compliance training tracking
Companies scaling onboarding processes

Rippling LMS vs Workademy LMS: What's the Difference?

When to Use Rippling LMS Alone

  • You only need to distribute compliance documents
  • Training is simple (watch video, check box)
  • You have fewer than 20 employees
  • Budget is extremely constrained

When to Use Rippling + Workademy Together

  • You're onboarding 10+ employees per quarter
  • You need engaging, effective training (not just compliance)
  • You want AI-powered course creation to save L&D time
  • You need detailed analytics on learning effectiveness
  • You're scaling training programs
  • You have department-specific training needs

What Rippling LMS Doesn't Do Well

1

Course Creation

No built-in course builder or AI assistance

2

Learner Engagement

Basic UI, not designed for learning experience

3

Analytics Depth

Can't see where learners struggle or drop off

4

Content Variety

Limited to uploaded files, no interactive formats

5

Instructional Design

No frameworks for effective learning

The best approach? Use Rippling for HR management and Workademy for actual training. The integration connects them seamlessly.
