HR Works 127: Real Partnerships Create Ideal Training Programs

When the leader of a digital identity and access management company wanted to rapidly expand, he needed a configurable training management solution that could handle the pressure. Ultimately, he found more than just a solution, he found a business partner. Through that partnership, both organizations grew to great heights. This is our second episode with our sponsor Administrate (https://www.getadministrate.com/), an EdTech infrastructure platform that provides configurable training management solutions for enterprises across the globe. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, with offices in Montana, USA, and Beirut, Lebanon, Administrate is a diverse, creative software company born from within the training industry that focuses on creating the Ultimate Human Organization in culture, practice, and product. Now in its sixth year, Administrate is proud to support the training teams of Fortune 100 companies in the US, EU, and EMEA regions with a team of 100 talented professionals focused on creating and delivering learning & development technology innovation. Last time we discussed new ways for employers to get a hold of their training metrics to unlock the true potential of their training programs as well as to rapidly expand a training program. Today we have Administrate’s CEO, John Peebles, back with us on the show along with one of his clients to discuss what this process looks like.
