      Continuous Professional Development (CPD) plays a vital role in employee growth and skill enhancement. HRLocker's CPD/Training Records feature enables managers to assign CPD to employees. Employees can upload certificates and track their training progress, while managers receive reminders for certificate renewals, ensuring compliance and continuous learning.

      • Select Manage CPD
      • To create a new CPD item, click Add

      • Complete the necessary information and attach a document if relevant

      • The newly created CPD item is now listed in the Manage CPD section
      • To assign this CPD item 
        • to assign a singular CPD item click assign next to it
        • to assign multiple CPD items at the same time, check the boxes next to the CPD items to assign and click Assign Selected

      Select the employees you wish to assign this to. You can select by office, department or employees.

      A pop up will appear.

      • Enter the date you need this item to be completed by
      • Select Mandatory

      Since it is mandatory, emails will be sent to both the employee and the employee's CPD approver reminding to complete the training.

      This email will be sent 21 days after the mandatory completion date and continue for the next 4 weeks.

      The assigned CPD item is now listed for the employee.

      Mandatory CPD items will be designated with a star.

      The employee will need to log in and complete the training record.

      The employee can fill in the relevant information and add a record.

      The CPD Approver can validate that record.

      The CPD Validator can select the employee from the dropdown list. 

      Each CPD item is assigned and the status of that item is shown.

      If the employee has attached a record to the CPD item, the status will be Certified. 

      To validate the record, click Manage Record.

      View the certificate and Validate if correct. If it is incorrect, the record can be rejected and the employee can add a new correct record.

      The status for this CPD item will now be Validated
