POLYVANTIS, a global leader in diversified chemicals and high-quality semi-finished acrylic and polycarbonate products, faced significant hurdles in managing and delivering standardized EHS training across its 45 sites. With 5,039 active courses spread across 13 countries, the company sought to address inconsistent training standards due to high turnover in critical roles, site-specific duplications, and outdated training content.
As a Senior Analyst shared, “We were running into issues with employees receiving different training across sites, making it hard to ensure compliance and consistency. We needed a system that allowed flexibility for regional needs while streamlining the training process for everyone.”
Key challenges included:
To address these challenges, POLYVANTIS partnered with Benchmark Gensuite to leverage the Training Tracker module. This module allowed the organization to restructure its EHS training program by regionalizing training requirements and automating assignments based on site and role.
Key features of the solution included:
Training Tracker’s automated matrix management linked course assignments directly to employee roles, units, and sites. This feature saved POLYVANTIS hours of manual effort by instantly updating an employee's training requirements with any job change.
POLYVANTIS utilized the newly introduced task sequencing function, enabling a step-by-step curriculum for specific training requirements. This feature provided a structured approach to complex certifications, ensuring that employees completed tasks in a logical sequence.
POLYVANTIS could now upload and manage SCORM/AICC-compliant training content and connect to Benchmark Gensuite’s extensive content library. This allowed for seamless updates to course material, ensuring regulatory compliance and training relevance across multiple sites.
By restructuring their training program from product-line based to region-based (Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific), POLYVANTIS aligned training more closely with regulatory requirements and reduced duplicate content.
The restructuring and automation provided by Benchmark Gensuite’s Training Tracker helped POLYVANTIS achieve a more efficient and consistent training program.
