Overbury and Morgan Lovell fit out their workforce with learning resources using Civica Learning

Overbury and Morgan Lovell wanted to provide their distributed workforce with visibility and easy access to learning and performance support tools, without the need to bring them into the office.

The challenge

Overbury and Morgan Lovell (part of Morgan Sindall Group) are specialists in the fit out, refurbishment and interior design of office, higher education, retail and leisure spaces.

With a distributed workforce, Overbury and Morgan Lovell wanted to provide their people with learning and performance support resources, even when they’re working on sites across the country. Removing the need to bring them into the office to undertake training.

Head of Training & Development at Overbury and Morgan Lovell

Civica Learning was the right fit for us. They were able to provide a high quality user experience and I really liked their mobile delivery capabilities. Lots of our people work on sites all over the country, not all of them are in front of their computers, so being able to provide the same functionality and high quality learning experiences on mobile and desktop was really important.

Using the Civica Learning Apps, Overbury and Morgan Lovell can provide their workforce with on-the-go access to the latest learning courses and performance support materials. The Apps - branded as MyToolkit - are available for iOS and Android devices and provide Overbury and Morgan Lovell staff with the power to access the content they need, wherever they are and whenever it suits them.

Nick commented, “It’s important that we can give our workforce access to learning resources, not only via an office desktop, but also on their tablet and mobile devices. With the Civica Learning Apps, they can download content, go offline and still access that content even without internet connectivity.”

The result

Discussing the benefits, Nick said, “There have been a number of key benefits that we’ve found. Some of them practical, such as having Civica Learning integrated with our HR system to support our processes and functions - taking some of the manual side out of how user records and learning records are automatically collected and uploaded.”

“From a learner perspective, with Civica Learning we’ve been able to give our people visibility of our learning offer, we never had a platform that suitably did that before. Enabling people to see what training is available to them and giving them access to it has been really important step forward with our learning and development capabilities.”

"What Civica Learning also enables us, for the first time, is to let people take control of their training. We now have a learning platform where people can sign-up and take responsibility for their own learning. This is an important shift in our learning culture - which has been enabled by Civica Learning".
