Compliance and training solutions for professionals

Overview

BLR (Business & Legal Reports) provides compliance and training solutions for professionals in human resources, workplace safety, and environmental regulation. Its core offerings include practical, authoritative content that translates complex employment and regulatory rules into actionable guidance, along with workflow tools and trainings used by managers to stay compliant and operate safely. The company’s products are delivered through a scaled platform built from multiple acquisitions (notably the 2011 M. Lee Smith Publishers merger and the 2016 Simplify Compliance consolidation), which differentiates it from competitors by offering a broad, integrated suite of compliance resources, updates, checklists, and training across many industries. The goal is to help businesses meet legal requirements, reduce risk, and maintain safe workplaces by providing timely information and practical tools that managers can apply day to day.
