Prior to working with Skillcast, we used inflexible systems, and our CPD tracking and reporting processes were largely manual, which cost us a lot of time. We not only found an FCA-focused provider that offers ongoing support in Skillcast, but we’ve also improved our processing and reporting standards.

For us, it was critical that the learning matched the expectations and style of our people. The average age of PUMA employees is just 31. Skillcast identified what would work best with our audience. The tone of voice and use of PUMA imagery helped put the learning in the context of our job roles and embedded our values and ethics. The feedback was outstanding.
