Softway Medical Group’s My Academy: Fostering a culture of continuous learning
“At My Academy, we aspire to provide our employees with a nurturing learning environment that will enable them to seamlessly integrate into the company, upskill, and adapt to the ever-evolving landscape of new technologies.”
Céline AMBLOT-FERAL, Human Resources Director of Softway Medical Group.
At Softway Medical Group, continuous learning is highly valued and encouraged at all levels to stimulate innovation, adaptability, and growth.
This reflects our corporate value of boldness, encouraging employees to explore new ideas, think outside the box, take calculated risks, and learn from their experiences.
To facilitate knowledge sharing, Softway Medical has developed various tools to disseminate and exchange expertise across its different entities.
Our commitment to lifelong learning enhances adaptability, allowing the company to adjust quickly to market changes, advances in technology, and new trends.
My Academy, launched in 2023, embodies this investment in skills development. As a dedicated learning centre for in-house training.
My Academy, based at the Group’s headquarters in Fuveau, covers several areas including software development, adaptation to new technologies, and management. It also provides induction programmes for new starters.
Key objectives of My Academy:
My Academy addresses several key needs, including:
- Ensuring employees stay up-to-date in their roles.
- Consistency of onboarding programmes across entities and departments for improved training management.
- Accelerating the learning process and skills development through e-learning modules.
- Facilitating the integration of service provider teams by providing them with basic training.
Softway Medical’s training centre offers both face-to-face training content and e-learning sessions.
A dedicated team of experts, including internal and external trainers, a learning manager, and an administrative training officer, runs the training programmes and provides administrative and learning support.
My Academy’s role in vocational retraining:
My Academy actively supports vocational retraining through the France’s government-funded “POEI” back-to-work training scheme.
The programme, run at the company’s initiative, aims to provide job seekers with the necessary skills to meet the requirements of a job opening at the company. It allows candidates to acquire new skills while maintaining their job seeker status and continuing to receive unemployment benefit while they train.
My Academy: Facilitating internal mobility
Recognising that retaining talent and offering new positions involves internal mobility, Softway Medical Group makes use of My Academy to support this process. Internal mobility, meaning any change of position or function within a company or group of companies, benefits both the employee and the employer. For employees, it offers opportunities to acquire new skills, explore different aspects of the business, and expand their expertise. For employers, it encourages productivity and adaptation as employees changing roles often possess in-depth knowledge of the company.
My Academy plays a crucial role in enabling employees to acquire the necessary skills for their new roles, contributing to both professional development and job satisfaction. Through My Academy, Softway Medical Group is aiming to create an environment where learning is second nature, allowing the organisation to adapt effectively to change and remain competitive in a constantly evolving world.
My academy: the Softway Medical Group training center which promotes internal mobility
Retaining our talents and offering new positions requires internal mobility. Internal mobility means, for an employee, any change of position or evolution of function within a company or group of companies.
For the employer, internal mobility promotes productivity and adaptation.
Indeed, employees who change roles often have in-depth knowledge of the company, which can speed up their process of adapting to their new responsibilities.
My Academy allows employees to acquire the skills necessary for their new roles.
With My Academy, the objective of Softway Medical Group, as a learning company, is to create an environment where learning becomes second nature, allowing the organization to adapt more effectively to changes and remain competitive in a constantly changing world.
