Digital credentials help to professionalise your learning and development offer, ensuring that you have a central view of the skills within your organisation and the training that employees have completed. For any companies looking to become a skills-based organisation, this visibility of skills is essential.
You can use digital credentials data to identify your organisation’s current and future skills gaps, designing training around those needs. Digital credentials also support internal mobility and succession planning, enabling you to create progression routes and learning pathways for different roles and individuals.
Formally recognising learning and celebrating success will increase employees’ engagement with training. For longer programmes, you can issue credentials each time a module finishes, keeping learners motivated and improving completion rates. You can also use credentials for bite-sized programmes and microlearning.
Digital credentials are highly shareable, with many individuals posting their digital badges on LinkedIn and other social platforms. Employees become ambassadors for your organisation, generating significant brand exposure.
Prospective employees can view your suite of digital credentials and see how you formally recognise and invest in staff, helping you stand out in competitive labour markets.
Being able to check the skills, knowledge and competence of your employees provides reassurance for your clients and could help you win more business.
