GREG LINDAMOOD
Senior Training Instructor, Santee Cooper
Some training was instructor-led while other training was done via video. Module completion records were collected electronically while others used paper documentation. To streamline the learning and development process, Senior Training Instructor Greg Lindamood and Senior Safety Specialist Tami Barnette led the implementation of a new, company-wide learning management system.
Learning leaders at Santee Cooper worried about employee buy-in for this new learning module because many of its nearly 2,000 employees did not have regular access to a computer at home or work, which made e-learning nearly impossible. From the start, Santee Cooper’s CEO and other executives showed their excitement for the ease-of-use with the new LMS, which encouraged quick employee adoption.
The LMS has helped Santee Cooper demonstrate full OSHA compliance for the past four years. Safety learning modules resulted in the largest reduction in the number of personnel accidents and motor vehicle injuries in the company’s history, and the LMS’ e-learning capabilities helped cut travel time and expenses for company instructors.
