Duke Nuclear Integrates Learning and Compliance into Corporate Culture with SumTotal Talent Expansion Applications [Pan African News Agency](Pan African News Agency Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Duke Nuclear, a division of the largest electric holding company in the United States, Duke Energy DUK, -0.37% is weaving learning and professional development into its business using SumTotal Talent Expansion® applications. In a new case study released today, SumTotal Systems, LLC, a Skillsoft company and a leading provider of next-generation HR solutions, detailed Duke Nuclear's success in improving regulatory compliance in a highly regulated industry by delivering training to employees when and where they need it. Duke Nuclear operates 11 electricity generating units at six sites. Safety comes first when managing nuclear energy facilities, which is why the electric utility industry is among the most highly regulated. The case study describes Duke Nuclear's holistic approach to training and compliance, which has transformed learning from an isolated set of activities to an integral part of the business' goals. "Instead of keeping learning in a silo, we had a vision to incorporate training into the day-to-day work of our employees," said Al Sweney, Duke Nuclear's lead IT business consultant. "SumTotal's open architecture and ability to integrate with other solutions allowed us to achieve those goals." Highlights of Duke Nuclear's learning and development programs include: Reducing costs and risks associated with identifying and scheduling employees qualified for specific tasks Improving safety protocols and business processes by integrating the learning management system (LMS) with 14 business systems, including security and workforce management Eliminating duplication of training of contract employees by linking LMS to national training-record database, reducing average number of training activities needed from 25 to two Lowering occurrence of license/certification expirations through automatic notifications and reminders Attendees of SumTotal's global user conference, TotalConnection 2014, will have the opportunity to hear about Duke Nuclear's accomplishments firsthand from Al Sweney and Maria Hester, who will present "The Power of Systems Integration" on Wednesday, Oct. 29.
