Edelweiss Boosts Learning Adoption by 63% with Tenneo LMS 

Key Challenges 

Edelweiss faced several challenges that hindered their learning and development initiatives, making it difficult for employees to reach their full potential.

1. Subpar Learning Experience: The existing LMS lacked an intuitive interface, which led to low engagement levels among employees. In a sector where staying updated on financial regulations and products is critical, a cumbersome learning platform can delay essential training, leading to potential compliance risks and lost opportunities in client advisory services. 
2. Effective User Management: Without integration between the HRMS and LMS, there were discrepancies in user data, making it challenging to manage employee information accurately. This lack of integration also made it difficult to align learning paths with specific roles, which is critical in a financial services firm where different roles require specialized knowledge in areas such as investment banking, insurance underwriting, and credit risk assessment. 
3. Keeping Up with Compliance Regulations: In the financial sector, staying compliant with ever-changing regulations from bodies such as SEBI, RBI, and IRDAI is critical. Edelweiss struggled to keep up with these changes using their existing LMS, leading to potential risks in non-compliance, which could result in penalties or damage to their reputation.
4. Learning Accessibility: The lack of a mobile-optimized platform meant that employees could not access training on-the-go, limiting learning opportunities and flexibility. For a workforce that frequently interacts with clients and needs to make informed decisions quickly, the ability to access training and updates anytime, anywhere was essential. 
5. Identifying Learning Gaps: The absence of robust assessment tools made it difficult for Edelweiss to gauge learners' understanding of complex financial products and regulatory requirements. Without this insight, it was challenging to provide targeted training interventions to close knowledge gaps, which could impact the quality of financial advice and risk management practices.

Approach and Solution

To address these challenges and meet Edelweiss’s requirements, Tenneo provided the Grow variant of its LMS, which offered a suite of features tailored to their specific needs.

1. Intuitive & User-Friendly Interface: Tenneo LMS’s intuitive design significantly enhanced the user experience, making it easier for employees to navigate the platform and engage with learning content. Features like smart notifications, social collaboration tools, and a comprehensive video library helped create a more engaging learning environment tailored to individual needs. This was particularly important for ensuring that employees could quickly access and absorb information on complex financial products and regulatory changes. 
2. HRMS Integration for Better User Management: Tenneo LMS was seamlessly integrated with HROne, Edelweiss’s HRMS. This integration streamlined user management, ensuring accurate data synchronization between systems. It also allowed for precise mapping of training programs to employee roles, which was crucial for ensuring that employees in different divisions, such as wealth management, insurance, and asset reconstruction, received the specialized training they needed. 
3. Product & Process Training: Tenneo LMS provided robust modules for delivering product and process training, ensuring that employees were well-versed in the company’s extensive portfolio, including mutual funds, alternative assets, and insurance products. This was crucial for maintaining high levels of expertise across all business lines and ensuring that employees could provide informed advice to clients.
4. Compliance Management Module: The LMS featured a specialized compliance management module that delivered role-specific compliance training, including updates on SEBI, RBI, and IRDAI regulations. This ensured that all employees were up-to-date with the latest compliance requirements, reducing the risk of non-compliance and associated penalties. 
5. Assessments and OJE: Tenneo LMS included automated assessments to regularly evaluate employee knowledge and performance. The On-the-Job Evaluation (OJE) feature provided real-time feedback, enabling employees to immediately address any learning gaps in areas such as financial analysis, product knowledge, and regulatory compliance.
6. Nested Briefcase (10-Level Folders): The 10-level nested briefcase allowed Edelweiss to organize their training materials in a highly structured manner, reflecting the multi-layered nature of their financial products and services. This made it easier for employees to access the right content when needed, whether they were learning about new investment products, insurance policies, or regulatory updates.
7. Mobile-First LMS: Tenneo’s mobile-first design ensured that employees could access their training programs on-the-go, anytime and anywhere. This flexibility was essential for a workforce that needed to stay informed in a fast-paced industry, particularly for those in client-facing roles who required immediate access to training and updates.
8. Skill Gap and Competency Analytics: The LMS provided tools to create a competency and skills bank, map these to job profiles, and identify training needs to bridge skill gaps. This was particularly important for ensuring that employees in specialized roles, such as investment advisors and credit analysts, could enhance their competencies and provide high-quality financial advice.
