Edify Consultants designs a tool to take away training management woes of HR, employees

BANGALORE, INDIA: The conventional broad and skewed inputs on people development plans plotted on the annual appraisal by managers are a challenge that bogged down most Human Resource(HR) and Learning and Development(L&D) teams.

To tackle that challenge, Mumbai based people development and training consulting company, Edify Consultants has designed and developed a complete training management solution named NODL, which can now track and measure training effectiveness end to end.

"In the typical current organizational scenarios, it is difficult to get a full and detailed input on what employees seek to learn and how can it impact them with their results. Many HR and L&D professionals have constantly tried to improve on the process of gathering employee development needs, but the same can become too elaborate, time consuming and rarely accurate a task," said Pramod Parkar, Director, Edify Consultants.

NODL solves that problem. From plotting needs, accurately to scheduling learning events to measuring effectiveness - this tool works on a total digital platform. Besides web-based tool, HR or L&D teams can also use the mobile application, that guides employees and managers to plot learning needs as and when they are observed.

The solution guides employees to understand and plot their learning needs and leads them to the precise area of learning with reasons of how it will support them.

It also allows L&D administrators to access detailed report by designation/levels, by program name, by department, or by any other filter. Program schedules can be created and sent to the mobile phones of the participants.

L&D can broadcast live messages to all nominated employees on date, time & venue of training. The solution helps in tracking attendance and collecting training feedback.

Employees now can complete the process of Training Feedback and Action planning on their mobiles, while ‘on the go’.  Action plans can be collated post training and can be fed to their Managers & L&D department.

Employees and managers complain about the fact that training is seldom designed to address job challenges, and consultants and trainers complain that they do not get adequate inputs to support them design appropriate learning programs to address specific needs.

Researches also suggest that without a well laid out post training effectiveness mechanism, the RoI on the investment of training suffers hugely. NODL has a well-structured system that manages from program event management, to participant feedback and close loops participants learning diaries online.

Hosted on a secure cloud, the backend offers users complete security of data. It is an independent tool that an organization procures and uses on a license model.
