A special mention for the best Learning Management System was awarded to SunTec Business Solutions at the BW People's HR L&D Excellence and Summit 2021. Cited as the world’s best relationship-based pricing and billing (product) company, SunTec has proved its market leadership through innovation and holds dear its core value- ‘Passion for Excellence & Continuous Learning’
The key strategy employed at SunTec is competency enhancement, for which the organization actively encourages learning through various initiatives under the 5E Career Development framework - Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate. The organization has developed a comprehensive talent development platform called “SunTec Academy”, that helps drive their L&D strategy and affords an organizational overview of focus areas and gaps to be addressed through real-time analytics and insights from Department Heads on the current and future competency statistics, learning progress, continuous assessment and finally, feedback.
They believe their L&D strategy is centred around a self-learning and self-development culture where programs are designed as developmental initiatives around IDP (Individual Driven Development Plan) and supported by Systems, Structure and Policies. Assisting this strategy, the LMS helps managers track IDP in real-time, the outcome and application of learnings, spot the gaps and plan the talent management.
Expounding the capabilities of the system, SunTec Academy offers competency management, learning paths, IDPs, guided self-learning content, collaborative forums, gamification, real-time assessment of employees, feedback about programs and content among others. It even offers suggestions on promotion eligibility based on real-time competency score and the right allocation roles based on techno-functional & behavioural/leadership traits.
Reflecting on the organizational-wide impact of the LMS, the organization states that SunTec Academy helps manage real-time competency management (Skill assessment, gap analysis, defining learning path, content management etc.) where the right talent is identified and allocated the right role at the right time. Further, assessing and acquiring the right capacity offers cost optimization benefits. And the IDP driven L&D Strategy aided by technology tools helps accelerate self-learning & continuous learning culture based on user convenience.
