Background

GetWork, a leading recruitment and staffing solutions provider, has consistently evolved to meet the changing demands of the employment landscape. With a mission to enhance client satisfaction and provide top-tier talent, GetWork recognized that upskilling and continuous learning were critical for both their internal teams and the candidates they placed. To address this need, GetWork decided to leverage PeopleZep's Academy Management Platform to create a comprehensive learning ecosystem.

Challenge

As GetWork expanded its operations and client base, several challenges in learning and development became apparent:

1. Lack of Structured Training Programs: Despite being a leader in recruitment, GetWork lacked a centralized system to provide structured training programs to employees and candidates.
2. Inconsistent Knowledge Sharing: The absence of a unified platform led to inconsistent knowledge transfer, affecting the quality of service provided to clients.  
3. Need for Continuous Learning: With the rapid changes in industry standards and technology, there was a growing need to keep the workforce and candidates up-to-date with the latest trends and skills.
4. Client-Specific Training Needs: GetWork's clients often had unique requirements that necessitated tailored training programs for candidates, which were challenging to create and manage efficiently.

Solution

To overcome these challenges, GetWork implemented PeopleZep’s Learning Management Platform—a robust, customizable solution designed to facilitate the creation and management of online academies. This platform provided GetWork with the tools needed to offer a wide range of training programs, from onboarding new employees to upskilling candidates according to client-specific needs.

Implementation

The integration of PeopleZep's LMS into GetWork's operations was executed in several key phases:

1. Platform Customization: 1. PeopleZep's team worked closely with GetWork to tailor the Learning Management Platform to meet their specific needs. This involved customizing the user interface, course management features, and reporting tools to align with GetWork's brand and operational goals.
2. Content Creation and Curation: GetWork, in collaboration with industry experts, developed a suite of training programs tailored to different roles and industries. This included courses on recruitment best practices, industry-specific knowledge, and soft skills training.
3. Launch of GetWork Academy: With the platform in place, GetWork has its own branded LMS, providing a centralized hub for all learning and development activities. The LMS offered a blend of self-paced online courses, live virtual sessions, and assessments to ensure comprehensive learning.
4. Integration with Existing Systems: To ensure a seamless experience, the Learning Management Platform was integrated with GetWork's existing HR and ATS systems. This allowed for smooth enrollment of employees and candidates into relevant courses based on their roles and progress tracking.
5. Continuous Support and Enhancement: Post-launch, PeopleZep provided ongoing support to ensure the platform's success. Regular updates and new features were added based on GetWork's feedback and emerging needs.
