How Employees Can Record Their Own Training in HRLocker
HRLocker provides a feature that allows employees to independently record their own Continuous Professional Development (CPD) training. This self-service feature empowers employees to manage their professional growth and ensures that their training records are up-to-date. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how employees can utilize this feature if it has been enabled by their organization.
Accessing the CPD Module
-
Log Into HRLocker:
- Employees need to sign in to their HRLocker account using their credentials.
-
Navigate to CPD Section:
- Once logged in, navigate to the CPD section.
Registering Training
-
Register Own Training:
- In the CPD section, employees will see an option to "Register their own Training." Clicking this will open a new interface for recording training.
-
Selecting or Creating Training Course:
- Select Existing Training Course: Employees can choose from a list of existing training courses previously set up in the system. This helps in maintaining consistency and avoiding duplicates.
- Record a New Training: If there isn’t an existing course that fits their training, employees can create a new CPD item.
Filling Out Training Details
-
Complete the Training Form:
- Employees must fill out the provided form with all relevant details of the training, such as the date, duration, provider, and a brief description of what the training entailed.
-
Submission for Validation:
- Once the form is filled, submit the training record. It will then be sent to the employee's 'CPD validator'.
Validation Process
- CPD Validator Review:
- The CPD validator will review the submitted training details. They will either validate the training, confirming its addition to the employee's CPD records, or reject it if there are discrepancies or if additional information is required.
- Feedback and Resubmission: If the training record is rejected, the validator will provide instructions for resubmission. Employees may need to adjust the training details according to the feedback and resubmit for validation.
Tips for Employees
- Check Existing Training: Always check for existing training courses before creating a new record to avoid duplications.
- Accurate Details: Ensure all training details are accurate and comprehensive to facilitate quick validation.
- Follow-Up: If validation takes longer than expected, follow up with your CPD validator to check on the status of your submission.
By following these steps, employees can effectively manage their own professional development records within HRLocker, contributing to a culture of continuous learning and development.
