Qualification If specialist knowledge needs to be verifiably refreshed at specified intervals, it is important to plan course attendance. Stadtwerke München has introduced a standardized learning platform.
SWM is one of the largest energy and infrastructure companies in Germany. Its core task is to supply the city of Munich with energy and drinking water. The transport subsidiary MVG is responsible for the city's local public transport system with subway, bus and streetcar services. SWM also operates 18 indoor and outdoor swimming pools. The Group employs over 9,000 people.
Their job profiles and training and qualification needs within the company are wide-ranging. The annual catalog includes over 180 individual measures such as internal and external training courses and e-learning courses.
Expandable overview
"Optimizing and accelerating the processes were our primary goals," recalls Michael Mederer, SAP E-Recruiting Project Manager at Max Bögl. However, the aim was not only to improve the processes in applicant management, but also to present the company more attractively to potential applicants and to optimize communication. "With the help of an appealing and intuitive career portal, we also want to reach applicants who are on the move with smartphones, tablets and the like. "This means that candidates and Max Bögl can get in touch with each other anywhere and at any time, even outside of their fixed PC workstation," explains Stefan Grad, responsible for HR processes at Max Bögl. Max Bögl also had very specific visual requirements: The company wanted a user interface close to the SAP standard - in keeping with the company's corporate identity.
Automatic reminder
The learning portal is now integrated into the SWM employee portal. Although existing e-learning platforms continue to run in parallel, they are linked to the new system. Interested parties can now see at a glance which courses still have places available, the approval workflow also runs via the portal and a confirmation of participation is automatically generated after registration. The overview of relevant mandatory qualifications is already available in the SAP system. As soon as the requirement profiles with the necessary target qualifications have been entered for all positions, existing actual qualifications can be compared with these in the form of a profile comparison. The employee is informed via an automatic reminder when a certification required for his/her position expires and can register in the system for the relevant refresher course. The training history integrated in the learning portal provides employees or supervisors with an overview of all completed training courses.
