About OTI:

Israeli-based OTI is the oldest learning organisation for supporting children and teenagers on the autistic continuum. 

By working in partnership with various other professionals to unite services around a child’s or teenager’s care, they offer a holistic approach that focuses on improving family life.

OTI has over 2600 employees nationwide in more than 315 treatment settings. The organisation has complex needs making workforce development challenging and diverse.

Challenges:

OTI has employees who need professional development opportunities to practice safely and comply with regulations.

Long-winded processes for searching and completing training events made learning complicated and unpleasant. The team used Zoom and email to schedule training. Searching through numerous emails for information was time-consuming and irritating. Simple employee tasks, for example, searching for training events, resulted in low participation levels and non-attendance. 

Access to non-existent people data made workforce development audit and evaluation processes impossible. OTI could not identify which training has the most significant impact–resulting in a lack of understanding about future investment opportunities.

Problems Solved: 

  • Blossom provides a variety of learning programmes that inspire and motivate employees.
  • A customisable platform allows the team to create and manage learning content to suit the variation in roles and age groups. 
  • Robust analytics provide real-time information about workforce development, giving what they need to evaluate employee learning.
  • Reduced administrative load. Blossom provided a seamless and efficient way of carrying out routine learning and development tasks.

Key Takeaways:

  • Eliminated time-consuming and repetitive tasks with an ordered and easy-to-use platform.
  • Built the foundation for continuously improving workforce development.
  • Significantly reduced the risk of human error across the business with automated processes.
  • Ability to monitor and evaluate education and training events for compliance and ROI.
  • Optimised training resources through an all-in-one learning management system.
