"For employees to manage learning requests, we first had to implement Learning and Development. Previously we had several paper or spreadsheet based legacy systems for learning, maintained locally in the service areas. With no central records, if an employee moved to a different service area, their training record did not move with them. The introduction of Learning and Development has provided centralised, accurate employee records, which employees can access and update themselves."
