Challenge
If ten people in your organisation performed the same task in the workplace, would they each achieve the same outcome? Would the task take them the same amount of time, be of the same quality and achieve the same results for your internal or external customers? Can training be tracked for regulatory purposes?
With over 50 standard operating procedures (SOPs) that can change regularly the overhead in training staff through face to face/classroom methods was impacting the business operation and efficiency. In 2016, Hickey’s Pharmacies took the decision to examine the use of e-learning methods to develop a more effective balance in the use of online and face-to-face training within the business.
Hickey’s Pharmacy chose Enovation to implement the Totara Learn learning management system as the most appropriate solution to address their training challenges. Totara Learn’s extensive and configurable feature set, flexible delivery and value-based pricing was key to the selection combined with Enovation’s technical experience and support.

Beyond this critical capability, the pharmacist group uses the platform to deliver training to staff in the product and customer service topics.
