CIRENESTER, U.K., April 24, 2014 — Kallidus Learning Management System (LMS) is scheduled to go live for Kao, the maker of beauty products such as John Frieda hair care, across the U.S., Canada and Australia, in June.
The LMS would enable delivery of a more consistent learning experience to employees, customized to meet specific local needs. The new solution also enables Kao to provide a more comprehensive blend of training techniques including e-learning, webinars and classroom training and to deliver learning to tablets in addition to PCs.
“Kallidus offeres a global solution that could be customized locally and would support content from a wide variety of sources,” said Stephanie Brausch, Kao’s Senior Talent Manager. “We were particularly impressed with Kallidus’ m-learning capabilities as it is essential for us to be able to deliver learning when and where it is needed. We have many employees who travel domestically and internationally with some beginning to move to an iPad only environment, and therefore m-learning was a key driver in our decision.”
Kallidus LMS provides a central resource for training content for Kao employees, from compliance training to process and professional development. It enables the company to reach geographically dispersed employees with great ease. Looking to the future, the LMS will support technical skills development and will enable Kao to provide a truly personalized approach to blended learning.
