How does a team keep every staff CPR certification current without one person chasing everyone constantly?
Chasing CPR renewals by hand burns out whoever owns it. Here is how to keep the whole team current with a system instead.
Let a system, not a person, do the chasing. A tool that tracks each CPR certification's date and sends alerts turns the manual chase into automatic nudges, so no one burns out as a human calendar. Group people who are due together into a single class, then upload each new certification so the record shows current proof.
The chaser burns out
When one person tracks everyone's CPR renewals in their head or a spreadsheet, they spend their days chasing and still miss things.
It is thankless work, and the moment that person is busy or away, certifications start slipping.

Confirm with proof on file
After a class, upload each person's new certification so the record shows current proof, not just a promise it was done. Related: How can a service company prove its staff training and certifications to a cautious new client quickly?
With alerts and proof handled by the system, keeping a team CPR-current stops depending on one exhausted person.
