Hello ​@Mkealey-harbaugh, we don’t have people and training modules in Skills yet however this is being reviewed at the moment and will be added in the coming weeks/months.  

Can you share your specific objectives and we can make sure the training materials cover your needs?

Hello ​@Alan Blair, 

I think the Master Job Roles and Master Competencies is confusing and not very intuitive. 

Setting up the Training plan, job roles and reviews is also worthy of some skills courses. 
I believe that the People module is extremely valuable, but trying to set it up is not extremely intuitive.

I want our company to use the IQMS to its fullest, but I need to get them to understand how to set it up.

Hi ​@Mkealey-harbaugh,

Hope you’re well.

I have quite a bit of experience with the People module (albeit I’m in a different industry), if you’d like a chat, you can message me on this platform and we can exchange contact details. Might be of value :) 

Kind regards

Monika 

Thanks, Monika.  I appreciate your offer to help. I will likely be needing some insights. While the industry may be different the platform and basic use is the same.

​@Mkealey-harbaugh Just as a further update, we’re scoping some training courses on these modules for Ideagen Skills.  I don’t have a delivery date yet but I will share this when I do.

That is fantastic!!  Thank you!

Hi ​@Alan Blair,

I’m in almost exactly the same position, albeit I’m looking at this from a training department perspective and not HR. The People module does appear to be a very powerful tool, although I believe it was not effectively setup initially (due to a lack of understanding), therefore we are underutilising it. I would prefer not to have to purchase and maintain separate training management software, simply due to a lack of understanding of how to utilise this module effectively.

I’ve contacted other companies who also use your software, although none of them have been able to assist me. The general feedback is they do not use it, as they are unsure how to.

Do you have any idea of when you would be in a position to have even a basic course available?

​Kind regards,

Dave

Good Morning everyone . I am not new to Ideagen and using the QMS but I am new to the community and the training module 

I am basically trying to work out if this will work for allocating documents/SOP’s for  individuals to Read and acknowledge.

I have been able to set up competencies but don’t appear to be able to allocate these to individuals without setting up a Training Event.

Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction please 

Many Thanks

Lou 

Hi ​@David Probert I don’t have a date for publication yet as our courses go through  UAT process but we’re aiming to deliver IQMP courses for our remaining modules (Training, Customers, Suppliers) this month.

In the meantime, if there’s any specific questions on the module please post them in this thread or in a new post and I can help.   

You can also find the overview of the module at Overview of the Training lifecycle – Quality Management (Professional)

Hi ​@Lou, read and acknowledge is a different area than the training but is often questioned when you have document-based training, or training around an SOP.

Read and acknowledge is all performed within the documents module.  The purpose for this is to prove that staff have received and acknowledged receipt of documents such as SOPs and policies. 

Demonstrating understanding is difficult as you can only actually provide the staff member has been given the document and acknowledges that.  

A training event is where you can run a session around the topic (e.g. the policy or the SOP) and track that staff are aware of the content and understand it.

The easiest way to do that is to create your learning event in the training module and link this to a document.  This can be done when creating the training record.  When it comes to an audit or review, this would allow you to confirm that the employee has read and acknowledged the document via the documents module and you can show the training record that the employee has been trained on the subject matter.

However, there is no single view on a person record to show what has been acknowledged and what has been delivered in training.

Hi ​@Alan Blair, thank you for your reply.

I am also reaching out to people in other businesses to attempt to understand what ‘good’ looks like, from a People and Training module perspective. The online mini how to guides simply explain what the main functions do, although do not give an overall picture of what these modules are designed to look like. I believe our setup here is very clunky and disjointed, which puts people off using it.

Do you have some kind of template of the structure, to show how they are best setup in order to work together. I appreciate that each business has different requirements, although even a simple generic layout would be a very useful framework.

If I’m going to dismantle what we have and rebuild it, I’d prefer to have a blueprint to work off.

Kind regards,

Dave

Hi ​@Alan Blair , happy to find this post actually. I’m setting up the training and people module for our MRO team and would like to know what the difference of would be updating training records from the People Module than the Training Module. One thing that i noticed was adding through People module would not be able to view that as an event and hence no training plan. Please advise on how to be able to set up effectively to be able to view the training Plan for all users.

Also would like to know other then resports with chosen criteria, would it be possible to generate a training plan graph with dates  for certain type of training events to get a overview of the training plan for the whole year.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks a ton in advance,

Marwa Hussain
