More Training, Less Spending: Comprehensive Training Management Solution Delivers in Competitive Business Conditions
Positioned in a sector that is both demanding and competitive, Havas Group is one of the world’s largest global communications groups. The group, which through the years has seen strong growth, realized that to remain competitive it must maintain and develop the skill level of its employees. To achieve this it delivers close to 30,000 hours of training each year, including operating its own Corporate University. This ambitious program required a way to manage all of the administration, logistics, and planning on a global scale so Havas turned to Training Orchestra’s Training Resource Management System (TRMS). In addition to managing all of the training operations, the TRMS integrated with the existing Human Resource Information Systems currently being used by Havas.
Challenges
Clients expect the best and in the communications business the best comes from your employees. Havas Group’s management was prepared to make the investment in training for their employees and their Corporate University. It was necessary though, that this take place in the most efficient cost effective way possible. To meet this challenge, the communications group adopted Training Orchestra.
The main objectives of Havas were to:
- Have an overall view of its training policy
- Promote interaction between the group’s 40 communications agencies
- Streamline its training management practices
- Increase the volume of training while saving time and automating admin tasks
- Simplify access to certification offerings provided by the Havas University
Havas chose Training Orchestra’s unified Training Resource Management System (TRMS) to optimize their global training programs.
