At Sentrient, we are proud to be helping Oliver Hume to achieve consistency and reliability in its compliance training program.

Oliver Hume found Sentrient at a time when the business was seeking the assistance of a LMS to enhance and track the training it delivers to its 200 staff spread across more than 50 sites. As Oliver Hume’s Group HR Manager, Chris Trinquard, explained to us:

“We wanted to educate our employees and reinforce the expectation around appropriate workplace behaviours, and the Sentrient LMS and content allows us to do this in a rigorous and sustainable way that also helps address our workplace relations risk.”

In terms of the customer experience, Chris and the Oliver Hume HR team have found Sentrient to be “very responsive.” Oliver Hume’s staff find the system easy to use, as evidenced by the quick uptake and course completion rates. Chris believes this evidence points to the relevance of the content to the workforce. “I’ve looked at a lot of LMS and content solutions over the years, and the way that Sentrient’s material is written makes it relatable to any industry. The examples are practical, on point, and the duration makes it achievable.”

Chris also shared with us that Oliver Hume had selected Sentrient based on its accessibility and affordability. “We did extensive research, and found there are other systems that have lots of bells and whistles. However, Sentrient offered us what we needed at an appropriate price point.” In administering the system, Oliver Hume’s HR staff find it quick and easy to establish new users, with the management of existing users being easy to keep on top of. The automated email templates and reminder notifications save a lot of time for administrators in following-up with users who may be overdue in completing their training or policy sign-offs.

Chris confirmed that the Oliver Hume executive team are satisfied with the investment they have made in the Sentrient solution. They understand that risk is being mitigated due to the rigour of the system, with reporting templates streamlining their ability to review compliance rates. The executive team understand they have a responsibility to educate and provide constant reinforcement for conduct-related matters and appropriate workplace behaviours. Other parts of the business are now looking to leverage the system to include job technical assessments and further policy education.

Oliver Hume’s success is built on values that include leadership, trust and respect. Sentrient is pleased to be assisting Oliver Hume to reinforce these values, and we look forward to our partnership growing as Oliver Hume expands upon the breadth of content delivered through the Sentrient LMS to address its industry-specific training needs.
