‘INview’ the new social video platform for Inditex: providing ‘just-in-time’ training from Webanywhere
Earlier this year Inditex launched its latest development in Health & Safety training: INview. This social training platform, created by Webanywhere, provides an interactive platform where employees can upload YouTube style Health & Safety videos. These can then be viewed, shared and commented upon by staff across the organisation at the touch of a screen or click of a mouse.
Inditex is one of the world’s largest fashion retailers, with eight brands in its portfolio. It consists of Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, Oysho, Zara Home and Uterqüe.
As of 30th December 2012, there were 805 stores in the UK, Republic of Ireland, Germany and Switzerland.
It has 5,887 stores in 87 markets, and employs over 110,000 staff worldwide. According to Inditex, its corporate culture is based on teamwork and open communication, which it says is essential for any successful business.
‘Working in partnership with Inditex, Webanywhere has created a mobile video based platform.’ says Conor Gilligan, Head of Operations at Webanywhere Workplace Learning. ‘It provides ‘just-in-time’ learning whilst simultaneously supporting online collaboration between employees. It is the latest way in which to accommodate integrated training throughout a company such as Inditex.’
The 70:20:10 Social Learning Platform enables an organisation to make best use of its talent pool and share best practise online, in a cost effective manner. It allows a company to capture the 90% of learning (70% on the job, 20% social interaction, with the other 10% from formal classroom training) which occurs in the workplace and share it internally.
Below are just a few of the key features and benefits of Inditex’s social learning platform:
- training ‘on the go’
- mobile responsive design
- intuitive interface
- promotes peer to peer learning and development
- enhances knowledge sharing
- social media features, such as ‘like’ and ‘comment’
- perfect for online collaboration and ‘just-in-time’ learning
The development of a social video platform for internal training shows how innovative companies such as Inditex are, making full use of emerging technologies to boost staff performance and engagement.
