Global e-learning producer, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), has launched a corporate e-learning-related blog.
"All these solutions are being used - across a wide range of industries as well as the public sector - to meet business problems, including improving efficiency, effectiveness and to address specific business issues and target both cost benefits and profitability," commented Alan Samuel, head of TIS's UK operations.
"With over 15 years experience and expertise in helping organisations in the corporate, public and education sectors - including British Airways, Royal Mail, Vodafone, Orange, Shell and the Imperial College London - TIS is providing practical solutions to help improve employee productivity and cost efficiency," he added.
"This is helping TIS clients operate more cost effectively and expand their markets through developing increasingly competent staff." TIS's range of e-learning offerings includes programmes on:.
* Functional or general activities, including personal development courses such as leadership training.
* Regulatory/compliance training.
* Soft skills training to improve managerial performance.
* Recruitment and induction programmes.
* IT application training programmes on CRM systems such as SAP and Siebel and custom training applications.
These have been developed for staff from all areas of an organisation including: customer-facing staff, administration, marketing, finance and HR employees.
Samuel added: "In particular, TIS's EAT materials are wide-ranging, covering all systems applications".
"This makes them not only important in helping staff to operate these systems at their rollout but also as assets which can be reused as and when required by new staff or as top-up reference materials for existing staff." According to Sanjaya Sharma, CEO of TIS, globalisation; the growing use of imaginative Engineering through simulations, stories and games as aids to learning, and outsourcing both HR activities and the production of training/learning materials are all growing trends in the world of learning today.
Sharma believes that, to be successful when outsourcing, organisations should:.
* Think long term: the cost and other benefits of outsourcing are only felt after the first few projects - both for the outsourcer and the company to which the work is outsourced.
* Keep in mind the real competences of the vendor and outsourcer.
* Both sides of the outsourcing relationship need to make investments in understanding each other.
* Both sides of the outsourcing relationship need to focus on their own processes.
Taking up the imaginative Engineering theme, Manoj Kutty, TIS's worldwide president of sales and marketing, commented: "The number of employees under the age of 29 is increasing - and these people have grown up with single and multi-player computer games".
"These people are comfortable learning through game and simulation related learning." "At the other end of the spectrum, the baby boomers are approaching retirement".
"What better way to capture their experiences to pass on to new recruits than through story-based learning?" he added.
