Client Overview
Wood Couture, a renowned leader in the furniture and interior design industry, recognized the need to modernize their employee training processes. With a growing workforce and an emphasis on skill development, the HR department sought a comprehensive solution to manage, distribute, and track training courses for their employees. They approached Webotix to create a platform that would serve as an efficient training hub while aligning with their brand's aesthetic.
The Challenge
Wood Couture's HR team was manually managing training courses, leading to inefficiencies, delays, and a lack of centralized control. They needed a streamlined system that would automate course publishing, ensure course approval through a structured mechanism, and organize training resources efficiently. The challenge was not only to develop a robust system but also to ensure that it aligned seamlessly with Wood Couture's brand identity.
Our Solution
Webotix's team of experienced developers and designers embarked on creating a comprehensive SharePoint Online-based intranet portal that addressed Wood Couture's challenges effectively. The solution featured the following key components:
01
Course Publishing and Approval Mechanism
We developed a custom SharePoint list that allowed HR personnel to publish training courses easily. To maintain quality control, an approval mechanism was integrated, ensuring that courses met specified criteria before being published.
02
Document Library
Recognizing the importance of resource availability, we integrated a document library into the portal. This facilitated easy access to training materials, policy documents, and reference materials for employees undergoing training.
03
Custom Branding
Our design team meticulously adhered to Wood Couture's brand guidelines, creating a visually appealing interface that resonated with the company's identity. This customized branding extended to every aspect of the portal, reinforcing a consistent brand experience.
04
Mobile Responsiveness
With the modern workforce being increasingly mobile, we ensured that the entire intranet portal was mobile-responsive. Employees could access training materials and courses on various devices, promoting flexibility and accessibility.
