Hi all, 

May the fourth be with you all today! We’ve got lots of exciting things going on this week, so here’s a rundown of what’s happening: 


Upcoming webinars 

11th May: Introducing Totara 16 - the latest version of the Totara Talent Experience Platform

When it comes to employee engagement, maintaining compliance and improving completion rates, it’s important to prompt users on their required actions across the Talent Experience Platform. Totara 16 includes an improved notification system that allows users to provide more flexible, automated notifications to course activities and seminars. This functionality builds on the improved notification system released in Totara 14 for programs and certifications.

Totara 16 also includes further enhancements to both Totara Engage and Totara Perform, including workspace audience synchronisation and improvements to how you manage performance activities.

Join us for a live demonstration of the latest release of the Talent Experience Platform - Totara 16.

18th May - Calculating the cost of learning. What is the ROI of your e-learning programme?

Do you know how much training is costing your organisation? How are you calculating the return on investment from your e-learning programme? If you’re unsure, then join us for a webinar where we’ll speak to Elton Machholz, Manager of Learning & Development at Charles River Laboratories as he explains how the organisation is seeing a return on investment on training in the millions each year.

To date, Charles River has saved a staggering $11 million on the cost of training with Totara.

Charles River is an American corporation specialising in a variety of preclinical and clinical laboratory services for the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries. Charles River worked extensively with Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Janssen as they developed their COVID-19 vaccines throughout the pandemic.

Join us for this webinar where we’ll focus on how Charles River has:

  • Delivered consistent, compliant training in the heavily regulated life sciences industry

  • Shifted from in-person training to remote learning, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic

  • Saved millions as a result of their training strategy

  • How you can internally sell the benefits of investing in e-learning

Creating a seamless interface to link the NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR) with Totara

The Electronic Staff Record (ESR) is an integrated HR and payroll system procured nationally by the UK government, and is free to use for all NHS organisations.

Chambury Learning Solutions have worked with the NHS Improvement and ESR Teams to create an interface designed to transfer learning completions bi-directionally between the NHS ESR and Totara.

The link provides a series of benefits and time and cost savings for NHS Trusts who use Totara.
