No
matter how qualified and competent your employees are, there
will always be a need for training. Whenever a company introduces
a new product or service, modifies its structure or goals
or needs to follow regulation or a code of conduct; training
becomes critical. The accountancy industry in particular,
has to react to the constant changes in specific markets which
their training has to reflect.
Case Overview
As an example, we’ll
use a client of ours which is made up of a client-focused,
multilingual, highly skilled team of accountants, VAT specialists
and tax advisers. They currently offer a wide range of specialist
corporate and trust services to professional firms and institutions.
Company Size
Their firm consists of 100+
employees with varied job descriptions from qualified financial
staff to administrative and support staff.
Why the switch
to e-learning?
In the example given above,
e-learning suited the firm, especially given its rapid business
growth. Using traditional training methods such as CDs and
DVD’s meant that training was hard to monitor and update.
This was especially true during changes in the structure of
the business, when training needed to be completed on time
and efficiently. The organisation chose e-learning because
of its ease of use and ability to track staff progress.

How
Absolutely Helped
Cost effective training
Traditional classroom based
training encounters problems when dealing with large numbers
of trainees and dealing with workforces that are geographically
dispersed. In terms of resource, organising training en masse
often means that training budgets are diverted to peripherals
such as accommodation and venue hire. Absolutely’s e-learning
solutions can save you time and money; a critical edge in
today’s business world.
Keeping employees
productive
With e-learning, employees
can receive training anytime and anywhere. Training can happen
during work hours or at a suitable time for the employee instead
of being forced when it is not productive for business.
Improved Consistency
& Effectiveness
With e-learning, you can
be sure that all of your trainees are getting the same message
every time the information is presented. This is vital in
legal or regulated situations where you have to prove which
concepts are covered in your training.
Evaluate learning
retention
Our courses employ a randomised
test which measures exactly what your students have learnt
and maintains the integrity of the test itself. The employee
can use the course as a reference tool throughout the year
to remind themselves of the content. You wouldn’t have
that option if you were trained via a training session or
conference. With e-learning you can quickly and efficiently
go back over any training that has previously been completed.
Client testimonial
"E-learning has proved
to be an extremely useful and complimentary training tool.
Our employees are empowered to plan and manage their own e-learning
training whilst still having the support of management who
can keep track of their progress."
