Worrells Case Study
About Worrells
Worrells is a leading Australian insolvency and turnaround firm with locations nation-wide. They help both companies and individuals to recover from difficult business or personal financial situations.
Worrells need a cohesive solution
Worrells needed to find a solution that made it easy to embrace digital learning. They have a growing workforce and ever-increasing compliance, professional development and certification needs. It is important to align digital learning with other key HR functions such as Onboarding and Performance Management.
Needs specific to Worrells:
- The existing system performed certain functions fine but was unable to provide enough functionality to deliver learning along with performance.
- A small and very busy HR team required a system that was intuitive and easy to use while providing the level of visibility needed to keep abreast of requirements.
- The nature of a changing workforce with lockdowns and more remote work elevated the need to keep the team engaged and overcome a poor perception of such technology.
The Solution
Along with key stakeholders from Worrells and Tonka Learning, our senior team designed and developed a solution that fully utilised existing functions and leveraged our flexible infrastructure to build new features.
- The content management system (CMS) develops learning activities at a program (pathways, academies and capability framework) level and at a course level (video lessons).
- A training calendar function keeps admin abreast of learners’ Continuous Professional Development (CPD) requirements. CPD are based on platform participation or manually logged.
- Professional certifications and other achievements are kept up-to-date.
- The Performance Management component allows team members and managers to stay on top of KPI results and ratings as well as develop and review quarterly and annual goals. Monthly check-ins include discussion points, reviewing KPI results and the ability to form action plans.
- Onboarding documentation and processes are all digitised and made easy to access.
- Communications through the platform encourage peer-to peer interaction, smooth employee to manager workflows and allow organisational announcements.
- Detailed reporting tracks all platform utilisation each month. The most engaged person is celebrated.
The Results
There has been extremely Engagement with the Worrells Hub or “Herbie” as it has been affectionately dubbed, has been very high with all employees now relying on it as the single point of truth for all their human resource needs.
