Has anyone used WorkFront for tracking employee training and onboarding?

What Doug said! ;p

Yes, my organization is. We've created an Onboarding project template that works through the entire process from offer letter to mouse for their computer. Cheers! -- Scott Adams Work together. Work smarter. Workfront. Business System Analyst Lead Global Creative Studio | Starbucks Coffee Company

Hi Steve, I do use Workfront for tracking employee training. I have created a project called " Workfront Onboarding 2015 & 2016". Within this project I create a Task for each new user. I provided the necessary training information based on their access level within Workfront and I give them a timeframe for completion of training. For any new users that are "Reviewer" access level I have created a powerpoint quick start guide to help them in Workfront without having to go through the training. If you would like a copy of this quick start guide just email me. See my email below, let me know if you would like to discuss my Workfront Onboarding Project, happy to discuss more detail. Thanks!

Yes, we are currently implementing Workfront to a team of about 50 users and each user has been assigned a task to complete online individual training. The task description has the link and instructions. When they complete training, they get a swag reward. We are also working on developing a HR request queue with a custom form to be converted into a templated project that will contain tasks and assignments for every step needed for a new employee (office setup, phone, welcome packet, etc.) Still work in progress. We have also created a master project plan for Workfront rollout and it has all the steps to onboard each team (enter project plans, train project managers and coordinators, team kick off, on site training per department, etc.) Last, we have a form and queue setup for when a user has been reassigned to a different client brand and therefore needs different dashboards, or access to particular client systems, etc. Hope this helps. As we continue our implementation I am sure more ideas will come up. Good luck!

I sure do. Much more simple than others. I use it to track orientation time by using adhoc tasks. But I use it for training to use the tool too.

Currently I don't believe we do, but it's a damn good idea!!!

Wow, ok! Hadn't thought about doing any of this. I will be working on a plan this week, thanks :)

No we haven’t used it yet for anything other than change management. However, after recently being challenged to widen the scope of usage, I do think it is a great idea to track training through here, including requests, approval and spend. Thanks for the inspiration. !

Hello Steve, We use Workfront for Employee Training as well as for Onboarding. Although, there are some common areas for both, we use two separate projects for those. ♦ Employee Training This is owned by the “Quality Assurance” team and is part of the corporate training record. This formal project tracks all the trainings attended by an employee in his lifecycle in the company. ♦ Employee Onboarding This project is owned by the employee’s hiring manager. This lists all the steps from the recruiting stage to all initial knowledge sharing sessions.
