While the initial brief was to reduce costs, after viewing Learning Pool’s solution, they were inspired to change the focus to source a high-quality learning platform that would improve business performance.
After reviewing a number of suppliers, Saputo Dairy UK chose the Learning Pool’s Learning Management System. The LMS, known as ‘My Development’, was fully customised by Learning Pool in line with the Saputo Dairy UK brand.
Saputo Dairy UK also selected, Adapt Builder, Learning Pool’s Foundation Skills catalogue and ILM Recommended Leadership Skills catalogue to support their learning. They realised they could create an engaging and tailored experience for their learners, with minimal investment, designing their own content and editing existing content that would be suitable for the new and changing business. The content was customised, with ease, in Adapt to ensure the language is appropriate to the business and the learning feels like an internal course, maximising engagement and take up.
The site launched with a vast array of content designed to engage and delight their learners. This included a newly created Saputo Dairy UK induction course together with a Health and Safety course and approximately 15 Learning Pool off-the-shelf courses in subjects such as emotional intelligence, decision making, effective writing, health and wellbeing and a range of ILM-management courses.
For ongoing course development, templates have been developed, so the L&D department can quickly create their own material, either themselves or using a Subject Matter Expert. This maximises the speed at which L&D can deliver business-critical learning to the organisation.
