Our client, one of Myanmar’s top telecommunications service providers, faced significant challenges in developing and managing human resources amidst the rapidly evolving information technology and telecommunications landscape. To maintain its competitive edge and enhance employee skills, the client sought an efficient solution for workforce training and development.
Challenges
Amid the fast-paced development of the telecommunications industry, the client grappled with key challenges in managing and developing human resources through a learning system. Their HR and training teams required a comprehensive solution to effectively oversee employee training programs, especially in a dynamic digital environment that demands continuous knowledge updates.
- Decentralized Knowledge Management: Currently, training programs are delivered through various channels such as in-person sessions, online courses, internal documents, and specialized workshops. This diversity has made it difficult to track, evaluate, and manage the learning progress of individual employees.
- Lack of Assessment and Progress Tracking: The client lacks a precise tool to measure employees’ knowledge acquisition and skill development after training programs. Without concrete data, adjusting and improving training initiatives becomes a significant challenge.
- Diverse and Specialized Training Needs: Given the dynamic nature of the telecom and IT sectors, employees require training in a wide range of areas, such as 5G network technology, cybersecurity, cloud services, artificial intelligence, and soft skills like communication and customer service.
- Difficulty in Personalized Learning: Each employee has unique backgrounds and developmental needs. However, the current system does not support personalized training programs tailored to specific job roles and individual goals.
- Integration and Data Synchronization Issues: Integrating the LMS with existing HR systems, competency assessments, and career development tools poses significant challenges. This lack of seamless integration results in inefficient learning management and disjointed data tracking.
- Training Cost vs. Effectiveness: Current training programs demand high costs without clear evidence of effectiveness. The absence of tools to measure and compare learning outcomes against investment limits the ability to optimize training strategies.
- Challenges in Accessing Emerging Knowledge: As the client adopts cutting-edge technologies like 5G, ensuring that employees acquire the necessary technical skills is a pressing issue. Without continuous investment in training and upskilling, the client risks falling behind competitors.
