My Training Courses

Staff can view all available courses here in their browser, view details of the course including scope of the training course, programme, aims and objectives together with trainer, venue and course fee and apply On Line at the click of a button. When applications are approved by the Line Manager, these can be seen in My Course Applications together with email notification sent to member of staff and Line Manager. This module significantly reduces the administrative cost and burden of managing Employee Training On Line.

My Training Course Applications

In My Training Course Applications Staff can view all their Course Applications and the status of the application i.e. Approved or Rejected by the Line Manager, the date they applied for the course, title, subject, date of the course and if they have completed the course.  Applications for training may be reserved for the Central Training Unit with no "Gatekeeper" access for On Line Approval by Line Managers.

My Training Evaluations

Standard Training Evaluation Questionnaires set up in SDMS V Staff Development and can be completed by Employees and Trainers On Line, providing invaluable feedback on training quality. Cutting out unneccessary paper forms and the time taken to complete them and then renter into the system, saves time and improves communication and collaborative working between staff.

My Training Needs

Knowing what Training Needs your staff have and developing learning programmes to suit is enabled by My Training Needs for On Line recording of all Training Requirements from Staff.  You may not want staff or employees to update their own training needs, in which case this can be restricted to the departmental administrator or Line Manager, or switched off altogether.

My Reports - For Staff, Managers and Administrators

Making information readily but securely available is something we are all trying to do but sometimes we don’t want employees to be able to update and change data but only have to view. The Reports Module enables the training administrator to make information available to Staff and Managers anytime, anywhere. Access is provided for Employee Contact Information, Skills and Qualification Profiles, Training History, Course Schedules, Training Needs, Self-Study and Training Evaluations. It also provides immediate access to information for Staff and Managers without them having to request reports and information from the Training Administration Team which can take days to receive, reducing the burden on the Training Team.

HR Task Review

The HR Tasks Workflow Manager enables Line Managers to keep track of requests from staff for such things as training course applications, and CPD Records, Training Needs and Course Evaluations. The Line Manager HR Task Review  is a single point of access of all types of records that been entered or updated by and employee that the Line Manager may need to review or process.

Simple and easy to use; Managers can access their Staff's records and process them by approving or rejecting course applications or processing CPD Records or Training Needs. Notes and Comments may be added, where relevant to the task being processed. Once a record is processed and details are confirmed, an automated email will notify the employee and the administrator.

Messaging

e-SD.Net Self Service Web Access has its own in-built messaging feature which allows Staff and Managers to send messages to clarify anything that may arise in the course of reviewing and processing e-SD.Net tasks. 

When Staff or Managers write a new message, they can select whether they want to send the message to all staff in the system or to selected recipients. When the Select Recipients radio button is selected; clicking the send button will then show a list of recipients to select from.
