We have a learner management system (LMS) called Stride that our employees can access via an online platform to do accredited and non-accredited courses relevant to their work.
Our online induction allows ease of access for our new employees before their first day. They are welcomed to the organisation and provided information on the company. Our new employees can work through the content at their own pace.
