TALENT LIFECYCLE · TRAINING MANAGEMENT

Everyone who touches training should know where it stands. Without asking HR.

Most training runs on spreadsheets, a shared drive, and one person's memory, and everyone else has to ask that person. We design training management as one hub: every requirement, record, and course in one place, reminders that go out on their own, and self-service for the employee, the manager, operations, and HR. Consistent across every department, every shift, and every level of the organization. That's what we design and run.

“Is he cleared to run that line? I have to decide in the next ten minutes.”
One hub. Reminders that go out on their own. Self-service for everyone who touches training.

The situation

Three people, three versions of the same question.

MANAGER

"Is he cleared to run that line? I honestly don't know, and I have to decide in the next ten minutes."

EMPLOYEE

"I think I have something due. Nobody told me what, or when, or where to find it."

HR

"I answered that question six times on Tuesday. The answer is in a spreadsheet only I know how to read."

None of these people is doing anything wrong. The information exists. It just isn't in a place any of them can reach, so it all routes through HR, and HR becomes the switchboard for a system that was supposed to run itself.

Process first

What the method designs

Stage 1

Who's doing your training.

Which requirements belong to which roles, departments, and levels of the organization, so assignment stops depending on someone remembering, and every clinic or shift runs training the same way.

Stage 2

One source of truth.

Every record, internal and external, e-learning and classroom and on-the-job, in one place, against one set of requirements. The hub everyone else works from.

Stage 3

How training gets delivered.

Delivery that fits the content and the need: on-demand video, SOPs, virtual, or in person. Your own procedures, equipment, and obligations as the curriculum, not a rented library nobody finishes.

Stage 4

Push and pull.

Push: the reminders, assignments, and alerts the system sends on its own, to the employee and the manager, before something lapses. Pull: what each person can see and do for themselves, so nobody has to ask.

Stage 5

Prove it when asked.

Because everything already lives in one place, the proof is a byproduct. When a surveyor, a customer auditor, or a grant reviewer asks for five complete employee files, they're produced in minutes, not days.

One hub, four views

What each person gets

The employee

sees what they owe, when it's due, and where to do it. Completes it on a mobile phone or a plant-floor kiosk. Pulls their own transcript without a request.

The manager

sees the team: who is qualified for what, what's coming due, who's ready to move to the new line or the new department. Gets the reminder before the lapse, not after.

Operations

sees whether the shift or the department is staffed with qualified people, and what it would take to cross-train the next one. In many organizations operations, not HR, is the core user, and the hub is built for that.

HR

stops being the switchboard. Assigns by role, not by hand. Answers the question once, in the system, and the system answers it from then on.

Platform second

What the platform then runs

Month 14

One month-14 story

A plant added a second shift and a new line. The new roles were created in the system and the requirements they carried were attached at the department and job-title level. Every person moved onto the line picked up the right training automatically, including the on-the-job hours for equipment they hadn't run before, and got the reminders without anyone sending them. Supervisors could see who was cleared before the shift started. Nobody emailed HR to ask. When the customer's quality auditor came through that fall, the report ran the same way it had the year before. HR didn't open a configuration screen for any of it. They told us what changed and why, and we made the change.

Already have an LMS?

Bring it. If your system is fine and your process isn't, we'll say so and work with what you have. If everyone still has to ask HR whether they're cleared, we'll show you why.

Bring your training spreadsheet. We'll show you what it looks like as a hub.
