Leading eLearning company, Learning Pool, is pleased to welcome Housing Plus Group to our customer portfolio with a three-year digital learning solution agreement.

Housing Plus Group provides homes and care services to customers in Staffordshire & Shropshire. The Group is one of the largest housing providers in the region, managing 12,000 homes and employing over 500 people, with ambitious plans for the next five years.

Its Corporate Plan recognises the need to maintain statutory compliance standards and develop a practice and culture of agile working; encouraging professional development, learning and performance at all levels to support the group’s plans for growth.

Moving the organisation away from a fragmented learning environment, Learning Pool is delivering a cohesive blended learning platform at both group and member level.

Starting with standardised learning around key compliance courses such as GDPR, Asbestos Awareness and Cyber Security, future milestones will provide tailored learning experiences including learning plans and appraisal management. Enabling integration with the Group’s HR platform drives significant further efficiency by incorporating the joiner, mover and leaver processes and automatically updating learning pathways and manager performance dashboards accordingly.“Housing Plus Group are focused on building a resilient, compliant and customer-focused business. To do this, we need to help every one of our colleagues maximise their development and take full advantage of the learning opportunities available for their role. Integrating the Learning Pool LMS with our HR system makes managing our learners’ needs much, much easier and Learning Pool’s experience of our sector, clearly demonstrated within their housing-focused catalogue of e-learning content, was a key difference in why we chose them to be our digital learning partner.”
