February 20, 2008 - Edvantage group, a pioneer in e-learning solutions, announces today that Reitan Servicehandel will expand its e-learning initiatives in Denmark to include five customised training courses for employee training at 7-Eleven stores and a 3-year agreement for the Learning Gateway, a fully-hosted learning management system.
"We know that the e-learning solutions which Edvantage group has previously developed for our Norwegian and Swedish operations have contributed to higher employee satisfaction and improved customer service,” says Niels Andersen, Training and Development Manager, Reitan Servicehandel, Denmark. “E-learning helps us attract and retain the best employees so that we can faster reach our goal of becoming the premier name and largest chain of convenience retailing stores in Denmark,” adds Andersen.
Edvantage group will develop five customised e-learning courses that motivate employees to higher levels of performance, build loyalty and teach essential skills. “We are very excited about how the process of developing e-learning courses with Edvantage group can impact the entire way we think about training. The courses will show that we believe in helping people discover their own potential and that we provide career development opportunities,” says Andersen.
All courses will be made available to employees through the Learning Gateway. This learning management system provides employees with a single, easy-to-access web portal for all their training needs and it allows managers to administer courses and see course completion rates.
"We needed a company wide system for managing e-learning and classroom training initiatives," says Andersen. "We didn't want something that would create a lot of work for IT department. We selected Learning Gateway because there's no complicated implementation, it is easy-to-use, and it will work directly together with our HR system for easy administration of learner access rights. The total solution of technology products, services and Edvantage group’s consulting expertise was the decisive factor for why we chose Edvantage group,” concludes Andersen.
