Hi

Do any of you who work for larger organisation (200 +) use any kind of IT software to manage the various training courses employees require and the frequencies it is delivered? (New starters, role changes, additional roles need to be able to be dealt with.)

I'm looking to move away from my Excel spreadsheets and source a more robust solution that doesn't require as much day to day attention (once set up) and can be linked to other HR software.

The CIPD organise an exhibition and conference every year on this subject, and you could inspect the variety of options in tandem with a H R practitioner.

Visit www.cipd.co.uk/conferences for a 'walk about'

There are a number of such IT platforms. We have over 500 employees in 3 locations and we run a number of different on line programs. These can be externally hosted and provide great logistics support. For example I can configure the number of enrollment or reminder emails someone gets and have a written record of when they were sent.

You can set up renrollement reminders etc and get great reports on the training take up etc.

We use a system called O-Las and they have 15 different training modules all configurable.

Hi Polo,

We have a bout 2,500 altogether, and the way we do it is we don't do any of the admin ourselves (ourselves being me and my team of four advisers). Our retail people use Excel (I think) and in Health & Social Care they have an in-house system. So we work out training dates with them, and they get the b(odie)s on the seats,
