BAUHAUS embraces Edvantage Group e-learning in its fast-paced retail world
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
27 October, 2011 - Edvantage Group, Europe's leading provider of cloud-based
learning solutions, which was recently acquired by Lumesse*, is pleased to
announce that the home improvements retailer BAUHAUS has selected Edvantage
Group Learning Gateway (learning management system) and CourseBuilder (content
development platform) to improve employee training programmes.
With 220 locations in Europe and approximately 120,000 products in each store
covering everything for home, house and garden, BAUHAUS needs knowledgeable,
customer focused staff. Department managers, sales people and service
representatives need to stay up to date on products, keep up with changes in
building and safety codes, and help buyers make the right choices from project
start to finish.
Learning Gateway will enable BAUHAUS to provide on-demand product knowledge that
is relevant to people in every department. BAUHAUS will also be able to track
training costs, evaluate personal development, and certify staff. Rather than
infrequent and long in-person training sessions, employees will access elements
of learning whenever needed, with greater convenience and at a lower cost.
BAUHAUS will produce its own e-learning courses in CourseBuilder and work with
over 4000 suppliers and manufacturers, bringing e-learning into their delivery
model to facilitate knowledge transfer.
HR Manager, BAUHAUS Denmark, Gitte Astrup Melgaard said "It is essential that
customers can count on our knowledgeable professionals to make their projects a
success. With such a rapid rate of change in our stores, employees have to keep
up, and they are proud of their ability to do this. E-learning is cost
effective, and we are embracing the opportunities available in our online and
mobile world. Employees can learn on their own time, at their own rate and they
can give feedback, helping everyone to learn more."
John Tørring, Managing Director, Edvantage Group Denmark said "BAUHAUS has a
clear vision for the future of customer service on the store floor. E-learning,
not just courses, but immediate access to all types of manufacturer information
delivered through a variety forms and devices, is central to achieving this. We
are very pleased BAUHAUS has selected our learning technologies and we look
forward to helping them provide product knowledge in new ways that benefits the
company and most importantly the customers."
