Polycab Boosts Training Adoption by 45% with Tenneo LMS

Business Challenges

Polycab faced several obstacles that hindered their training and development efforts, impacting employee engagement, performance, and overall business growth.

• Lack of Online Training Platform:
  Relying solely on classroom training limited flexibility and accessibility. This traditional approach was resource-intensive and made it challenging to provide consistent training across different locations. Scheduling conflicts and inconsistent training delivery impacted the overall learning experience, hindering the development of a skilled and competent workforce.

• No Digitization of Learning:
  The absence of a digital platform for their workforce across India resulted in inconsistent training experiences. Without digitization, tracking progress, ensuring compliance, and providing uniform learning opportunities were significant challenges. This gap led to a lack of standardization, making it difficult to ensure all employees received the same quality of training. This was crucial for maintaining high standards in manufacturing processes.

• Lack of Reporting and Analytics:
  Without insightful dashboards, making data-driven decisions was challenging. The inability to track and analyze training data meant Polycab could not measure the effectiveness of their programs or identify areas needing improvement. This lack of visibility hindered strategic planning and resource allocation, impacting overall business performance and operational efficiency.

• Low Course Completion Rates:
  Engagement and completion rates were alarmingly low, affecting overall training effectiveness. Without engaging and interactive content, employees were less motivated to complete courses, leading to wasted resources and unfulfilled learning objectives. Low completion rates also meant that employees were not acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles effectively, impacting productivity and quality.

• Low Learning Engagement:
  Without interactive and engaging content, employees were less motivated to participate in training sessions, leading to lower knowledge retention and application. This lack of engagement hampered the overall effectiveness of training initiatives and the development of a skilled workforce.
