Fast introduction, sustainable impact: Weihe GmbH for digital personnel development with Evalea in record time

From “greenfield” to digital personnel development

When Marko Andrijanic started at Weihe in October 2024, there was no structured personnel development in the company. “I actually came across a green meadow,” he says. The task: To develop a concept from scratch that reflects both the current and future requirements for employees. To this end, Marko held numerous discussions with the management, managers and employees, analyzed job descriptions and identified the strategic goals of the company together with the management.

A central element was the development of competence models for different business areas and professional levels. “The aim was to determine which competencies the employees need to work successfully – today and in the future,” says Marko. Future skills such as the use of artificial intelligence were also taken into account.

The role of Evalea: efficiency, transparency and acceptance

It quickly became clear that a digital solution was needed to efficiently manage the multitude of tasks – from competence analysis to training organisation and evaluation – in order to efficiently manage the large number of tasks. The decision was made in favor of Evalea, which runs as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) in the browser and offers various modules for seminar management, evaluation and competence management, among other things.

“We wanted a platform where employees can easily register for training courses and everyone involved has an overview of what is on offer,” Marko describes the requirements. It was particularly important to him that the solution is intuitive to use – both for personnel development and for employees, who often have little contact with such tools.

Step by step to a learning culture

The introduction of Evalea was remarkably fast at Weihe: Only a few weeks passed from the initial contact in December to the go-live in February. This was made possible by the close cooperation with Evalea, the flexibility in the onboarding process and the clear objectives in the company. “I felt picked up right from the start,” Marko emphasizes. The introductory workshops and the personal support – both via the ticket system and through direct contact persons – were experienced as particularly helpful.

In everyday life, the seminar management module is currently in the foreground. Employees can register for training courses independently, see the entire offer and automatically receive feedback forms after the events. The evaluation of the training courses is also carried out digitally, which makes it easier to track learning successes and continuously improve the offer.

The competence management module will be introduced gradually. “We don’t want to overwhelm the employees, but slowly introduce them to the topic,” explains Marko. The aim is to conduct a comprehensive skills assessment at the end of the year, which will serve as the basis for individual development plans and strategic workforce planning.

Positive feedback and real relief

The response in the company has been consistently positive. Employees appreciate the clarity and ease of use of the platform. “There have been hardly any queries or problems so far – that’s the most important thing in this area,” says Marko. Managers also benefit from transparency and the opportunity to report training needs in a targeted manner.

For personnel development, the use of Evalea means above all a noticeable relief from administrative tasks. Automated participant lists, certificates and evaluations save time and create freedom for conceptual work and the development of new training formats. “I can now concentrate much more on the further development of the content,” reports Marko.

Overall, the example of Weihe GmbH shows how Evalea can support the change to modern, strategically oriented personnel development. Decisive for success are not only the technical possibilities, but also the close cooperation between provider and company, a clear objective and the willingness to take employees along on the way.

Summary

The interview with Marko Andrijanic makes it clear: With Evalea, Weihe has built up a sustainable personnel development team in a short time that combines transparency, efficiency and acceptance. The platform makes it possible to control training and competencies in a targeted manner, automate administrative processes and actively involve employees in their development. For companies facing similar challenges, the example offers valuable insights and shows how the path to a digital learning culture can succeed.
