LPI Engineering Company
- Decentralized coordination at 10 locations, time-consuming scheduling for face-to-face training courses and outdated proof management via Excel and paper signatures.
-
Solution:
Central control by skillsforwork, which ensures flexible online instruction without fixed dates as well as comprehensive learning control and legally compliant digital documentation. - Health & safety and data protection
The company
LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH was founded in 2004 and has since then continuously developed into a nationwide service provider. The company is up-to-date from a single location 10 locations Growing up. With meanwhile over 300 employees LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH is in a phase of strong growth. The employees are distributed unevenly across the locations, with the headquarters in Hanover employing more than 100 people. Mr. Jonas Witte, who has been with the company since 2012, is the team leader for structural diagnostics and
acts as Security Officer, by which he directs the
interface with the occupational safety specialist. In this function, he also supervises the implementation and use of the learning platform skillsforwork. The centralised control of the
Staff training required by law across all ten decentralized locations was the main reason for the search for a digital solution.

challenges
With the strong company growth and the distribution to ten locations, LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH reached the limits of conventional teaching methods.
In the early days of LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH, training sessions were still held in person in the break room, before later switching to decentralized face-to-face training or fixed-term video conferences. However, these outdated methods proved to be increasingly time-consuming and were simply no longer scalable due to the strong growth. In particular, the coordination of the annual compulsory training was extremely complex due to the distribution to ten different locations and led to a complex scheduling and low acceptance among the employees.
Another massive problem was the documentation, which was handled by outdated methods such as Excel lists and the physical sending of paper signatures. Compliance considerably more difficult. Due to these logistical hurdles and the purely manual processes, there was also the constant concern that individual employees remained undetected and necessary training in the system was lost.
The solution by skillsforwork
In order to overcome the challenges of decentralized coordination and incomplete verification, LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH implemented skillsforwork As a central platform for employee training, the focus was initially on the annual mandatory training. This implementation immediately led to measurable positive changes, as centralized control across all ten locations was massively simplified and made daily work significantly easier. Since the employees are now training online and flexible in terms of time, the formerly difficult scheduling with the decentralized teams was completely eliminated. In addition, reliable digital monitoring and documentation is guaranteed at all times, so that the management always knows exactly which colleagues have already completed the training, what the Compliance-Sustainably increased security throughout the company.
Key features
One of the main advantages of skillsforwork is to ensure the effectiveness of the teaching – a point that was not given with the previous methods. A decisive advance lies in the introduction of a comprehensive learning control, which, unlike in the past, now enables a measurable verification of the knowledge conveyed. Mr Witte sees a direct added value in the possibility of asking explicit questions on safety-related topics such as accident reporting. Since these questions must be answered correctly, knowledge is permanently anchored in the consciousness of the workforce, which noticeably improves occupational safety throughout the company.
Recommendations
Based on the experience of the LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft, Mr. Jonas Witte would fully recommend the platform, especially for companies with decentralized structures:
The solution enables LPI Ingenieurgesellschaft mbH to efficiently meet legal requirements and adapt the processes to dynamic growth and the decentralised structure - with guaranteed effectiveness and high employee acceptance.
