Case study: development of Learning Pathway to build people, communication and productivity skills
Our client is an integrated commercial property group who owns, develops and manages commercial real estate including industrial, retail and office space globally.
Training objectives and requirements
In-line with their Human Resources (HR) strategy, our client engaged Odyssey to develop and deliver a Learning Pathway for their property managers located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland. This included working closely with the HR team and key stakeholders to develop a customised solution designed to achieve specific business objectives.
A key requirement was that the facilitator not only have the necessary background, but who understood their industry group, culture and people to ensure the successful uptake of the program.
Learning and development solutions we delivered
The program was developed to provide staff with the foundations to build upon their influencing, people, communication and productivity skills when dealing with both internal and external clients.
- Consulting with a broad range of stakeholders to determine the proposed content for the Learning Pathway including incorporating business specific case studies and scenarios
- Development of the content and courseware for seven one-day training sessions, which formed part of the client’s Learning Pathway
- Client representatives reviewed course materials prior to training delivery to ensure courses meet their requirements
- Delivering the program to 450 staff over a 10 month period in various locations throughout Australia and New Zealand
- Evaluation of the Training program using Kirkpatrick model (Levels 1, 2 and 3)
- Administering the program on behalf of the client including administration of all paperwork, and coordination of training logistics
- Regularly reporting feedback to Stakeholders for each group that were captured during the program
Training results and evaluation
Throughout the lifecycle of the project, Odyssey Training has worked closely with the HR team to customise the course content and evaluate each course conducted, to ensure the ongoing success of the training.
Due to the success of the program, elements of the pathway have been delivered to other business units, including building managers and support staff.
