TrainingPlanner

The perfect plan for training programmes

TrainingPlanner supports the effective implementation of your training programmes.

Appropriately qualified employees are crucial to your company’s success

In an increasingly competitive business world, highly skilled employees are more important than ever before. That’s why more and more companies are investing in training and continuous development programmes. Companies that are planning training programmes with large groups of employees, or in complex environments need a professional tool that’s right for the job — particularly if they want to minimise the impact of such programmes on normal business operations. TrainingPlanner offers you the support you need to plan your training programmes down to the last detail and thus ensure that your employees attain the right skills and qualifications.

Convenient management of training data and participant selection

Managing the training data

TrainingPlanner enables you to centrally manage your training programmes. You can, for example, simply and conveniently define the length of your training programmes, the number of participants and the time period in which the training should take place.

A broad range of methods are available to help you choose the appropriate participants for each training programme. For instance, your selection process can be based on planning units, types of employee contract or user-defined selection groups. Alternatively, you can use a manual process to select participants individually.

Joint planning for groups of trainees

Training programmes for groups of one or more employees can be linked. Consequently, changes to parameters such as the time period in which the programme is to be conducted are automatically applied to the entire training group, thus avoiding the need to change the entry of each individual participant.

Manual or automatic selection of dates

Proposing dates for a training programme

When planning for training, you can select training dates before schedules exist for the affected employees. Alternatively, you can allow the system to automatically determine the best dates within existing schedules. TrainingPlanner not only makes proposals based on individual employees’ schedules and availability, but also provides you with a clear overview of possible dates.

Of course InVision Enterprise WFM’s entire set of planning rules is continuously monitored during this process to avoid rule violations.

Operative effects are always under tight control

If you decide to plan a training programme over existing schedules, TrainingPlanner will advise you what the business impact will be based on various scenarios. You’ll be able to tell at a glance whether the programme would place unacceptable pressure on an individual employee’s schedule, or if your requirements would no longer be adequately covered. After all, to avoid disruption to your business processes, you must ensure that training programmes are smoothly integrated into your daily operations.

Training statistics are always available

For every training programme, you can see at a glance how many employees were assigned to the programme, how many were scheduled to attend, how many have finished the programme and how many were unable to participate. In addition, because you can check the status of your training programme at any time, you’re always equipped to make informed decisions.

Easy access to each employee’s training history

For every planning session, TrainingPlanner records which employees are to participate in which training programmes and on which days. A mouse click is all it takes to find out which employees have not yet been included in your planning and to manually or automatically assign them to further training programmes. This ensures that all employees allotted to specific training programmes actually receive the training they need.

Target performance/actual performance comparison at the press of a button

At the touch of a button, TrainingPlanner will provide you with an evaluation of how successful your training programme has been. You’ll be able to see not only how many sessions were held each week for each training programme, but also the number of participants in absolute figures and in percentages. What’s more, you can compare actual figures with target figures. In short, you’ll be able to check your programmes’ progress quickly and easily.
