Overview

Description

University Human Resources Services (UHRS) identified a need for a university wide learning management strategy. This included a wider change to HR systems which was an important element of the learning management roadmap. The Corporate Services Group (CSG) was keen to look in the short term at enhancing the quality and consistency of their learning and development tracking taking into consideration the diverse set of departments working in different ways - some departments must retain training records for legislative purposes while other areas deliver training and would like to retain attendance records. Some departments already work with a dedicated learning and development software package, while some are using a combination of other tools for this purpose.

The outcome of the requirements gathering exercise (CSG007) has proven the benefits and success criteria and this project will deliver against the preferred solution identified; Totara and the business requirements identified there in.

UHRS were consulted during the initial process and will continue to be involved throughout the project to monitor the CSG approach and how this may fit with the bigger university wide picture.

Objectives

At an operational level the system will be capable of recording data on training needs, evaluation of courses, annual reviews and employee information such as personal development record & plan and qualifications. 

At a strategic level the system will be capable of reports supporting planning of activities, success of the L&D function and activity across the University.
