Succeed in your skills development plan with Fifty

Since January 1, 2019, the training plan has been replaced by the skills development plan. Now, the employer is at the initiative of training, which must meet professional objectives. Fifty, a Workplace Training Action Platform (AFEST), makes it possible to meet the various requirements of this new plan, and to provide employees with added value in terms of skills.

The principles of the skills development plan

Previously, with the training plan, employees could take training on their own initiative, and negotiate the conditions of completion with the employer. With the new skills development plan, this initiative is the responsibility of the employer, which therefore organizes apprenticeships according to the needs of the company and in order to keep employees at work.

During the training, the employee and the employer must meet certain conditions:

• Apprenticeship takes place during working hours, with some exceptions (to be seen according to existing branch agreements);
• The remuneration of the trainee employee is maintained;
• The cost of the training is borne by the company.

To meet these requirements, it is more interesting to set up a Workplace Training Action (AFEST). This approach ensures an increase in competence in specific areas that use work as a learning tool and subject. It is therefore the best way to achieve the desired educational and professional goals.

In addition, the Action de Formation En Situation de Travail (AFEST) optimizes the resources dedicated to learning. The company, which must pay the cost of the training, can at the same time benefit from the work of employees, as the latter remain in a production situation.

So, the skills development plan is a way that is both cheaper and more efficient to improve the technical and human skills of workers, by setting up highly targeted training projects and individualized learning paths.

Fifty, an effective tool to carry out your skills development projects

A digital platform dedicated to Workplace Training Action (AFEST), Fifty is the ideal way to organize and improve the skills of your employees. This system combines the effectiveness of the Nudge approach and the power of artificial intelligence to offer individualized training courses adapted to the needs of workers and businesses. It also makes it possible to meet the requirements of skills development plan.

Fifty consists of micro-actions to be carried out every day by learning collaborators. These activities target the technical and human skills targeted as part of the training. The list is not fixed, it is personalized for each participant to obtain concrete results. Changes are quantifiable in real time, and can be felt at the individual and organizational levels.

Nudge, initiated by Richard Thaler (Nobel Prize in Economics 2017), is an approach aimed at encouraging behavior without resorting to coercion or sanctions. In the context of training, such an approach ensures motivation and efficiency at the same time.
