\nAbout 200 people work at the company, but the network grows and the number of employees increases constantly. That is why company management faces an issue of how to train personnel competently and fast.

Denis Kravchenko – HR-director at \u00abKovbas market\u00bb<\/p><\/div>
\nCompany’s HR-director Denis Kravchenko implemented remote education system. Now, all shop assistants at \u00abKovbas market\u00bb learn online using Collaborator platform.
\nWe interviewed Denis about his Collaborator experience:
\nRemote education has two main advantages.\u00a0<\/strong> The first – it is cheaper than traditional. The second – people may study new information in a very short time and uptaking of content could be easily verified by tests.
\nI knew long ago about Collaborator.<\/strong> I was keeping track of its development in social networks. I decided to test the system when I was looking for remote education service to be used at \u00abKovbas market\u00bb. Moreover, I remained satisfied after trying demo version.

\nCurrently, remote education share in corporate training at \u00abKovbas market\u00bb equals to 70%.<\/strong> We are going to slightly change our approach to trainings. There will be online education as well offline: trainings, executives’ school, majors course, etc. However, the remote education portion would amount to 50%.
\nShop assistants are taught by one course and administrators by another. <\/strong>Personnel could be divided into groups and sub-groups in Collaborator and each group could receive own educational work. For example, we have 2 groups of shop assistant: regular and tutor. The last-mentioned have additional course about teaching regulars.
\nEach of our outlets is equipped with a tablet PC and shop assistants are allowed to use it for reviewing Collaborator courses.<\/strong> However, it is possible to study using smart phone or home computer. Anyone could choose preferable device. Most employees study during working hours when they have idle moments. However, statistics shows that there are those who visits the system before the working hours, e.g. at 7 am or in the evenings.

Training courses assigned to shop assistants in \u00abKovbas market\u00bb<\/p><\/div>
\nFor me, Collaborator primarily is a huge knowledge base, which is convenient to use. <\/strong>All instruction and guidelines are stored in one place and could be easily updated with no confusion threat.
\nShop assistant’s training consists of two units.<\/strong> The first – salesman charter. Our constitution so to say. It is a list of instructions telling what shop assistants have to do during working day, how products should be displayed in a store and accepted at delivery, how to hand over the shift, how to communicate with customers, etc. The second unit is product knowledge. The employees have to be familiar with the difference between uncooked smoked sausage and raw cured one, as well as with distinctive features in types of uncooked smoked sausage.
\nWhen a person comes to work with us, first he or she goes in for probation period and then in for apprenticeship.<\/strong> All together, it takes up to 3 week time. Most of the theoretical materials has to be mastered during the first 7 days. Immediately we provide the probationer with an access to Collaborator and assign him the educational course called \u00abProbationer program\u00bb. So, the person learns step by step. One theme is learned and the test is taken. If the test is passed – user could go further. If it is failed – the theme must be studied again. At the end of the first week, the probationer takes the final course test in Collaborator. This grade together with a mark for practical skills given by a tutor would determine whether the person would be hired.
\n New training course is assigned to shop assistants every week. <\/strong>They have two weeks to master it and pass the test. The grade given for such interim training affects employee’s aggregate rating, category and salary accordingly.

Graph shows time period spent by employees in Collaborator system<\/p><\/div>
\nPerformance review in the company is conducted once a quarter.<\/strong> All employees have to pass a complex test in Collaborator. The grade given for it together with the grade for interim tests assemble 30% of the aggregate rating, which has a direct impact on employees’ income. The rating is also influenced by a number of KPIs: sales, quality of service, etc.
\nThe fact that salary is linked to educational results motivates people to study. <\/strong>At first, when we were just launching Collaborator, some employees were taking a dim view of this innovation. Nevertheless, the system was accepted quite fast. Now people know each Monday or Tuesday they would be assigned with a new course to pass. We do not even have to remind – system notifies everyone.
\nWe took an opinion poll among our employees, and implementation of Collaborator was perceived as positive change.<\/strong>

About half of company employees took part in anonymous voluntary poll during the first 3 days<\/p><\/div>
\nReports are awesomely enabled in Collaborator.<\/strong> I enter the system and straight away I can see how many people passed the course and grades given them. It is possible to get known about how often the system was visited by a specific employee, how much time was spent him or her there, how many attempts were used to pass separate test and its’ results. Graphical visualization is a big plus. Everything is spread before the eyes.

Passing test statistics is displayed in a form of an iceberg. Above the line part is percent of employees who passed the test and below the line is percent of those who failed and did not take the test.<\/p><\/div>
\nThe series of video clips about high-quality customer service were filmed directly in our retail outlets. <\/strong>We are going to upload the clips into Collaborator soon, so the shop assistants would be able to learn from them. I believe that our customers would feel positive outcomes.
\n\"\u041a\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0447\u0435\u043d\u043a\u043e<\/a>I am an adherent to constant advancing and self-developing. <\/strong>If the work is not pleasurable – it is not profitable to anyone. Transparent and open relationship with an employer is a key to productive, interesting and motivating work.<\/p>\n
