The e-learning platform, available to all OneLife staff, was presented in the presence of Nicola Doherty, from LinkedIn and Alizée Del Mastro from Lynda.com. The specialists in online training thus presented, in detail, the possibilities now available to the employees of the life insurance company. A first for a Luxembourg financial sector player.

The event was also held in the presence of Nicola Doherty, Regional Sales Manager for LinkedIn, who started her presentation: “The primary mission of the professional social network is to create economic opportunities for all by making tools available to find a job on the one hand and enabling companies to find their future talent on the other”. But, today, competencies are changing and LinkedIn has fully understood this: the largest professional social network now offers an e-learning platform, after buying Lynda.com, the world’s leading online training platform, founded over 20 years ago, a few years ago. “Today Lynda.com is the biggest film studio, after Hollywood. Over 30 videos are released in English every week, and more than 10 in other languages” Nicola explained, adding: “these videos are created so that the student can benefit from all the time spent”. Her subsequent presentation was completed by Alizée Del Mastro, live from Austria.

“Our trainers are professionals, experts in their field. The e-learning solution enables you to update your knowledge, whether this involves software, soft skills or leadership. Some of the training modules will be sent to you directly by your managers, but it is also up to you to find those which can help you develop professionally. Be curious” Alizée Del Mastro explains. The training may last from 20 minutes to five hours, but it is possible to select the chapters which directly concern the interested parties. “They are different from professional training since they are much more flexible. They are available at any time and wherever you may be. They are sometimes also completed with exercises and can be downloaded to be consulted offline” Anna Lehmann-Bertini, the HR specialist explains. The most popular training within the company is also pushed onto the front page and the Lynda.com experts will work hand in hand with OneLife’s HR and Digital departments over the coming weeks to point managers and employees to the training best adapted to their needs. “Some may be integrated into your annual training plan, into your team’s or may be viewed in working groups, etc.” Alizée explains.

“It is important to try to find time, to have an idea of the skills one wishes to develop, and thus to spend a few minutes a week on the platform. It is not necessary to spend three hours a week on Lynda.com, but a few sessions of ten minutes or so may suffice” Christophe Regnault, Digital Marketing Manager, added before concluding this, the morning session: “It is up to us to create a real movement and engagement around Lynda.com. It is a social, living tool. It must be shared: your favourite training, your playlists and even your certificates that you can display on your LinkedIn profiles”.
