E-Learning: Harnessing the Power of Digital Learning

At Vinyas, an e-learning platform called “Jnana Jagriti” has been developed in-house to set up a foundation for learning and growth. This not only facilitates flexible and self-paced learning, but also empowers employees to gain new skills and competencies pertinent to their roles within the organization, without the need for traditional classrooms, instructors, or group gatherings. This initiative has been effective as employees have access to data and training material without the hindrance of time and place.

Vinyas Jnana Jaagriti has three ways of learning concentrating on different types of learners that include an Audio-Video Session, a Text Swiper Review, and an Assessment Quiz. The training is made more interesting by adding interactive modules, virtual training sessions, and multimedia content.

Furthermore, this e-learning portal has inspired our employees to engage in continuous learning, thereby fostering a culture of adaptability and growth. By providing a centralized hub for upskilling and professional development, Vinyas has not only invested in the individual growth of its employees but also fortified the collective capabilities of its workforce.

Upskilling & Reskilling: Adapt or Fade away

• On-the-job Upskilling: At Vinyas, On-the-job training (OJT) programs have proved to be one of the effective ways to train our new employees, as well as upskill the existing staff. Shadowing, Demonstration, Practice, Feedback, Documentation, and Repeating the process have been the steps followed in our on-the-job training programs.

• Classroom Upskilling Sessions: Even though a traditional approach, Classroom training programs have their own set of benefits and advantages. These traditional skilling sessions have enabled us to prepare an annual training calendar that is structured, customized, and interactive. At Vinyas, we make sure that every employee undergoes 72 hours (8.5 man-days) of training which can help them develop the skills needed to be successful and effective in their roles.

• Leadership Training Sessions: Irrespective of the industry we work in, leadership skills are essential to all for both professional and personal growth. Regular and informal sessions are taken by our leadership team as well as external resource persons to develop basic personal attributes like effective communication, logical reasoning, analytical thinking, strengthening emotional and social quotient, problem-solving, time management, teamwork, and adaptability. Learning, developing, practicing, and implementing these skills has in turn resulted in more productivity, increased employee morale, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

• Offsite Training & Upskilling: Vinyas believes that providing exposure and opportunities for our employees to visit the customer location for offsite training and upskilling will not only provide them with a unique learning experience but also help them to broaden their perspectives and learn best practices and processes followed by our customers. This upskilling program is a win-win situation for both our Vinyas’ employees as well as our customers as it leads to better collaboration and communication and in turn, will help us provide better solutions and services as per our customer needs.
