The Jesmond Group Case Study
Client
Established in 1984, The Jesmond Group (TJG) has a proud history of caring for older Australians of all backgrounds across Sydney. PowerHouse Hub has been selected as the Learning Management System to deliver job role skills and compliance, with integration to payroll and rostering.
The Solution
PowerHouse Hub has delivered a comprehensive aged care solution for Jesmond that includes the award winning PowerHouse Upskill LMS, our library of aged care courses and personal Workforce Wallets for all staff. The system is also fully integrated with the Jesmond payroll and rostering applications.
Full payroll integration: Payroll groups created in the IWS payroll application are dynamically created in the Upskill LMS Platform with automated synchronisation. As staff are added to a group in IWS, they appear instantly in the Upskill LMS and they have immediate access to the job role training courses, webinars, training plans and events that have been assigned to the group. The API and webservices automatically sync customised personal information fields back into to the IWS payroll system
Full rostering integration: Mirus Works rostering is integrated with the Upskill LMS to deliver job ready shields that allow the staff member to be rostered. When an employee is set to be added to the roster, a skills and compliance dataset is pushed from the Upskill LMS into the roster to ensure that the staff member has the skills and compliance to complete the shift. Additional groups that sit outside of the payroll groups have been added to deliver training to staff, contractors and agency staff that provide services to Jesmond.
The Solution (continued)
PowerHouse Aged Care courses have been pre-loaded to allow Jesmond staff to edit with their own custom information. Jesmond has created their own eCourses with the Content Publisher and also imported existing SCORM courses into the platform. These courses have been assigned to groups with the SCORM reporting data recorded in the PowerHouse Reports.
