On 21 September, the OneLife digital and HR teams, represented by Christophe Regnault and Anna Lehmann-Bertini, presented its new online training tool, announced at the Digital Days in June, to all its staff.
“A few months after presenting our new training strategy to you, we are officially launching our OneLife Academy, in partnership with LinkedIn and, more particularly, Lynda.com” explains Christophe Regnault, Digital Marketing Manager. There are now several thousand training opportunities available to the employees of OneLife. But the launch of this academy is only one part of the company’s transformation plan: numerous meetings will thus be organised, on a regular basis, with the purpose of presenting the advances made, but also the new technologies and future projects.
As Christophe Regnault underlines, to learn it is henceforth necessary to “unlearn, to better re-learn” as the famous American futurologist Alvin Toffer explained. “In the past we merely executed what we had learnt”. Today, in a world which is constantly moving, it is necessary to continue to develop”, the digital manager explains. This is why OneLife has joined up with LinkedIn to propose an e-learning solution to all its employees. This platform is easy to access, open to all, and enables staff to follow the training possibilities available at their own speed. They can also be followed on various PCs and mobile devices. “The social aspect is also important: we can all learn from others. Dialogue and communication are thus keys in succeeding with such a training programme” Christophe Regnault adds, going on to say: “LinkedIn, and its Lynda.com solution, offer the best possible training combination”. The content is produced only by professionals. The videos are filmed in Austria and in Silicon Valley. They are all made with a specific aim: helping professionals by offering them comprehensive and concrete solutions. Every expert, or speaker, thus shares their knowledge.
For Anna Lehmann-Bertini, HR Specialist, this e-learning solution proposed by LinkedIn will benefit all employees, managers, members of the executive committee and thus, in general the Luxembourg life insurance company. “Today you all have access to almost 10,000 training possibilities, wherever you want and whenever you want. As for managers, they can select mandatory training for the members of their team, in order to maintain and enhance the skills of every employee” the HR specialist explained. The training chosen by the managers must be followed during working time. To do this the HR department is making five iPads available to the members of the firm, along with the possibility of reserving meeting rooms. The ball is now in the court of OneLife’s employees: it is they, therefore, who have control over their own professional development.
