HRLocker’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) module now includes the capability to perform a training needs analysis (TNA) by polling staff to propose their own ongoing certification pathway.
The core CPD module, which allows you to schedule, manage and keep records of certifications, remains.
A skilled and constantly learning organisation is set to succeed. But there’s no need to break the bank to identify what skills your workforce should – and could gain.
Mind the gaps
Organisations of all sizes – especially small businesses – face increasing demands to ensure their teams are correctly trained and up-to-date with passes, qualifications, and required training to carry out their role or maintain their qualification status.
But the admin side can take a significant chunk of time without the help of automation to do the heavy lifting.
There are also compliance obligations and the need to have records accessible and in one place so that personal data is recorded under legislation like GDPR.
Over to you …
The added TNA functionality further enhances the employee self-service element of HRLocker, which frees up time for managers to focus on proactive deliverables rather than time-consuming admin.
Carrying out a TNA also has other distinct advantages, including:
- Staff feel valued and satisfied that their career development is being taken care of
- The onus falls on employees to be responsible for maintaining their skills and certs
- Skills gaps can easily be collated and identified with less margin for error or items slipping through the cracks, which makes for a happier team overall.
HRLocker admins and managers can now send out requests to their teams at the organisation, office and department level – right down to individual employees. And deadlines can be set for when these needs are to be submitted.
All activity is recorded and exportable, like all other data logged in the system. So your whole cycle of requesting needs, assigning, recording and approving training items is both taken care of and documented in a secure environment.
Once the training has been approved, it can be assigned using the regular method, with completion dates, reminders and self-serve uploading of certs for approval. Again, this is all timestamped, exportable, and reportable.
Additionally, the enhanced CPD module is built in line with the Irish Construction Industry Federation’s (CIF) new standards, as set out under the Construction Industry Regulation Ireland (CIRI) four key pillars requirements.
