March updates: Form-tastic with Academy Live, Creating impactful self-service portals, and Meet the Learning Team!

[Joel]

February wrap-up Academy Live: Forms unravelled!    February’s Live session was all about form creation. During the lab activities, participants built an example of a usable new starter request form that highlighted the key features of Hornbill’s Intelligent Capture Designer. The session received an average rating of 4.3 stars out of 5 , with all participants reporting that the use of lab activities was helpful to learn new skills, and 92% of participants reporting that the content of the training session was relevant and tailored to their role. From one participant, " I learn best by doing rather than watching, so this kept me focused and I didn't get bored by just sitting listening and watching a presentation.” Didn’t make it? You can catch up by viewing the recording and accessing the session resources on the academy . Growing as a team  In February the Hornbill learning team had our first face-to-face meet up, at our office in Tirana, Albania. We spent a few days together working on our internal documentation and processes, learning (and teaching each other!) about some of Hornbill’s apps, and exploring the local cuisine. Alongside all the benefits that working remotely brings, meeting in-person can help cultivate deeper connections, foster team camaraderie, and facilitate a unique level of productivity.
