Training Tracker Solution: Looking to Automate Corporate Training Processes? We Got IT.

We Got IT: Training Tracker Automates Scheduling, Registration, and Attendance Processes with a SharePoint Solution

Problem and Background

Companies that commit to investing in their employees’ ongoing education are companies that are committed to success. Ensuring that staff at all levels continues to grow in knowledge and maintain proper certifications promotes dedication to producing quality work. Yet, despite the desire to offer access to quality training, many companies struggle with the mechanics and logistics of making this happen.

Scheduling and tracking training sessions can be challenging for large corporations offering classes for hundreds of employees at various locations. How do you notify employees when appropriate trainings are available? How do you note the effectiveness of a session? How do you take attendance and assess knowledge gained? What if there’s a cancellation or schedule change? These pain-points are common among large companies and manufacturers.

When one of our clients, a global CPG manufacturer, approached us with their problem of scheduling training sessions and tracking their popularity, we set out to provide a single solution that addressed multiple concerns. Posting, scheduling, registering, and tracking processes had previously been handled via physical bulletin boards, emails, spreadsheets and printouts. Cancellations and rescheduled classes required further emails and phone calls. These manual activities took significant time and caused confusion.
