Wellington Shire Council
Wellington Shire Council is embracing digital transformation – replacing manual processes with flexible, transparent options through ELMO Software.
The Challenges
“Traditionally everything was paper-based and we wanted something that was more flexible,” says Carly Bloomfield, Learning and Development Facilitator, Wellington Shire Council.
This was especially impacting on new hires, who would have to wait for key information in face-to-face training sessions. Similarly, there was a lack of transparency and reporting occurring with performance appraisals.
The Solution
Wellington Shire Council made the strategic decision to implement ELMO’s Learning Management System and Performance Management modules.
These modules have a strong emphasis on self-service, empowering employees at all levels to take ownership of their learning, development and career growth within the organisation. This approach provides significant benefits for both employees and employers. For Wellington Shire Council, it has resulted in improved training processes, increased engagement and the delivery of an excellent employee experience.
The Benefits
“Our induction process has really improved significantly because people are actually getting inducted in a timely manner. They’re getting the key information from weeks 1-12 as opposed to having to wait for face- to -face training.”
She adds that the introduction of online performance appraisals has resulted in an uplift in completion rates due to the reporting functionality of the ELMO module.
“When we were researching, ELMO’s ability to customise the product was the key deciding factor for us,” says Bloomfield. “We’d definitely recommend ELMO to others and we’re happy to talk to others who are considering the product.”
