Welcome to everyone who has recently joined the Community and we hope that everyone is coping okay during these uncertain times. We know that many people’s working situations have changed, and I hope you’re all adapting as well as you can. We’ve got lots of different things happening in the Community to help provide a layer of support for you all.
Many of us will now be working entirely online which will include your daily work, your training and development work as well as all your productivity and performance management tools. As we all move to an entirely digital culture, there will be many questions as to how everything we’re now doing online joins up. Tomorrow at 4pm (BST) / 10am (CST) Totara’s Chief Learning Officer, Lars Hyland will be running a webinar to reflect on the need for an integrated digital ecosystem which can bring learning, performance management and employee engagement together. In the webinar, Lars will also look at:
- Why people matter – strategy trend
- What motivates us at work?
- The move to more integrated ecosystems
- The strategic flexibility of open technology
We’ve got lots of great webinars coming up; in the next couple of weeks we’ll look at how to theme Totara Learn out of the box and how to make the most out of the Adapt authoring tool.

Supporting your peers in the sector spaces
With many people using Totara in similar industries the Community is an easy way to support each other on similar projects. For example in the Government sector space, people are sharing resources and guides to support people as they work from home. If you’re not already in a sector space why not start sharing resources in the Healthcare, Retail, Energy, Technology and Professional services spaces.
