Our client, a prominent medical aid and insurance provider in South Africa, is renowned for its innovation in the insurance and healthcare industry. Recognizing the critical importance of well-trained employees and agents in comprehending their products and services, our client sought to enhance its training and learning approach.
In 2012, our client engaged with Signify to address specific challenges in managing a blended learning environment. While classroom-based training remained vital, it required more effective execution and integration into workflow processes. Additionally, our client aimed to expand its eLearning courses and electronic assessments.
Although the option to use an international Learning Management System (LMS) was available, it posed limitations in tracking and reporting training data within a South African context. Customizing the platform to meet their specific needs was also impractical.
In early 2013, Signify initiated the implementation of its LMS for our client. This comprehensive solution included:

With joint ventures managing mines in the Northern Cape, they operate in a sector with unique learning management challenges.
Inherent to the mining industry are specific learning management challenges:
While leveraging technology for training and upskilling, our client faced the complexity of managing a blended learning approach with different specialist systems housing training results. Some aging systems couldn't adapt to evolving learning trends. Pre-2014, options to consolidate systems and establish a single source of training data were explored, including their ERP system's Learning Management Modules. After careful evaluation, Signify's solution proved the most suitable, aligning with their needs and South African training nuances. Signify's flexibility, driven by its proprietary system, enabled tailored adaptations, overcoming constraints faced by other systems.
The journey began with the implementation of the Signify LMS in early 2015, marked by the following milestones:
Our client harnesses the Signify Learning Management System to effectively manage a diverse learning environment for approximately 5,000 full-time employees and 6,000 contingent workers. Varied computer literacy and access levels necessitate a range of training interventions, including eLearning, classroom workshops, online assessments, bulk assessments via integrated "Clicker" devices, equipment simulations, and workplace observations. Benefits encompass:
Our client's partnership with Signify has revolutionized their learning management, ensuring compliance and efficiency in a dynamic mining environment.
Our client, a South African government institution responsible for certain aspects of road transport, faced the distinctive challenge of enhancing performance management within their unique operating landscape.
Government departments, by nature, place a significant emphasis on performance management. Our client was no exception, seeking a solution tailored to their specific requirements. Their challenges demanded a system that could adapt to their unique needs.
The quest began for an automated system to replace their manual performance management processes. Signify’s solution offered the ideal fit, aligning perfectly with their needs and within an acceptable budget.
In 2018, the implementation of the Signify Performance Management system commenced. The system swiftly became operational, enabling employees and managers to initiate and approve agreements efficiently. The comprehensive project included administrative staff training, the creation of manager and employee quick guides, and guidance on best practice principles. Integration with their payroll system ensured up-to-date employee records. Our consultants provided invaluable post-implementation support.
Since adopting the Signify Performance Management system, our client gained precise insights into the status of each process phase. Instant access to performance scores statistics became a reality, eliminating the need for manual documentation circulation. Management now effortlessly generates performance score distribution reports, facilitating comparisons between different business units and departments. This success prompted further exploration, leading to the implementation of additional modules, marking a journey of continuous improvement and growth.
The Signify Learning Management System has emerged as a cornerstone in our efforts to effectively manage learning processes across the entirety of organisation. By making use of its various modules, such as eLearning, PDP, and Training Scheduling, we have experienced significant improvements in our learning procedures, fostering a more knowledgeable and skilled workforce. Of particular importance, Signify's system has streamlined our license issuing processes related to training, ensuring that our workforce remains compliant and aligned with the requirements of the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR). This has been instrumental in maintaining a highly trained and competent workforce in our mining operations.
I am writing this letter to thank you for your outstanding work in the implementation of our company's HR System. Your system expertise and the ability of the modules to be customised to suit the Unique South-African challenges and associated legislation as well as our internal company requirements have been proven over and over.
