Why use an Employee Training Platform? The Pressing Need to Automate Training
Whether your department is training new hires or providing employee upskilling, training can be a complicated process:
- Governments employ many unique roles that require varied skillsets, such as administrative staff, policymakers, healthcare workers, and engineers. These roles each call for tailored training programs to ensure proficiency.
- Government training must scale to reach every employee while maintaining consistency in quality across various departments and regions.
- These diverse training requirements put a strain on the implementation of training programs and are highly resource intensive. Managers and trainers need to schedule sessions, gather attendance information, provide training content, and keep it up to date.
- Training content must stay up to date with the ever-changing landscape of regulations and technologies.
- Government employees must continuously adapt and educate themselves to meet the challenges of their respective roles. Training content must prepare them for this and adapt to reflect each role as it evolves. With so much to learn, there is always the chance that employees will fall behind, especially if they miss sessions due to illness, schedule conflicts, or personal circumstances.
- Without concrete data to show how each employee’s development, it is difficult for governments to determine the success of training content.
Overall, manual training methods are not optimal for managers and trainers, or conducive to employee education. This is why SimplyCast has developed the Modular Training Use Case.
Let’s explore how on demand training can boost the impact of your training modules.
Introducing SimplyCast’s Modular Training Use Case: Your Very Own Employee Training Platform
With features such as its central training metrics dashboard, our Modular Training use case aims not just to automate training, but to provide a personalized experience that meets each employee’s individual learning needs.
The training dashboard is your central hub for modular training. It hosts:
- Training modules, which you can update as and when based on changing information.
- Training content such as quizzes and manuals.
- Notification controls. Customize the notifications you send out and provide a personal feel to your employee upskilling.
- Communication lines. Maintain open communication with employees to help them feel supported as they learn.
- Employee timelines and performance stats. Monitor how each employee performs in the course’s quizzes and track how quickly they progress through their modular training journey.
As you can see, our Modular Training use case prioritizes the needs of each employee at an individual level. This feeling of care strengthens connections between employees and their employers, thereby inspiring a stronger work ethic and feeling of pride in their workplace.
Best of all, you can deliver this personalized experience without impacting the timeline or the effectiveness of your government training. In fact, you will see that they are significantly improved.
All Your Training Modules Together on One Central Training Dashboard
At SimplyCast, our priorities when designing a use case are its accessibility, customizability, and ease of user experience. With our Modular Training use case, we wanted to provide a user-friendly interface that adapts to each employee’s learning needs. Best of all, employees can access their training modules at anytime from anywhere for a truly on demand training experience.
The flexibility and scalability of our modular training dashboard makes it an invaluable tool for government departments that undergo frequent changes such as strategic shifts or technological updates. For this reason, we wanted to highlight its functionality as a key player in our Modular Training use case:
- Create user-friendly interfaces that can be used to customize training modules, track the progress of each trainee, and adapt to individual learning needs.
- Enable employees to tailor their learning experience by selecting modules or courses that align with their development goals.
- Progress tracking within the training metrics dashboard offers real time insights into each learner’s advancement. Both the trainee and trainer can identify areas that may require additional attention and adapt the training content to focus on that topic.
- Interactivity (such as that provided by quizzes, simulations, and more) increases learner engagement with their training content, resulting in higher retention rates. This is a crucial foundation for further education and skill development.
- Review the training metrics dashboard to identify the effectiveness of your training modules. Based on this data, you can direct efforts and budgets accordingly towards the most impactful content, and review less impactful content to create better training modules for employees.
To review, our training dashboard provides invaluable accessibility and flexibility for trainees and trainers. Employees can pick and choose their training modules, as well as where and when they complete them for a truly on demand training experience. Meanwhile, trainers can track their progress and provide support for any areas of uncertainty.
Our training metrics dashboard functionality allows trainers to identify the strengths and weaknesses of each individual employee and presents which training modules are the most successful, and which need to undergo changes for better engagement and retention.
All of this is accessible from the personal devices of each trainer and trainee, so there are no expensive pieces of proprietary hardware to invest in for this convenience.
As you can see, the central training dashboard already does a lot to improve the impact and speed of training modules for employees.
Now you see what the training dashboard can do, let’s delve into the overall benefits of this use case.
