tesa group, a fully owned affiliate of Beiersdorf AG, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of self-adhesive product and system solutions. The company provides more than 6,500 system solutions for industrial and professional applications, as well as about 300 products in the consumer and craftsmen businesses.

Innovation is the basis of tesa's success and the engine driving the company's dynamic growth. tesa has a wide variety of businesses on different continents, and in order to meet high quality standards on a global scale, the company needed an innovative and efficient solution for unified training globally.

As part of the company's learning strategy to support innovation, tesa wanted to provide employees all over the world with a wide variety of multi-language learning programmes together with the ability to enroll in all these programmes in a flexible way. In addition, learning content had to be kept constantly up to date and easily accessible by tesa's employees, wherever they are in the world.

"There is a high level of commitment to meet our organisation’s quality standards. This drives a wide range of training initiatives, so we always have to have efficient central management of all our learning programmes in place. We need to make sure that all our programmes meet our high quality standards," explained Helge Kochskämper, Vice President of Human Resources at tesa.

"To plan and steer the global training and development agenda more efficiently, we were looking for highly efficient documentation and reporting functionalities in our new LMS. "In addition, our workforce consists of different generations of employees, with varying learning preferences and media use. Based on the learner preferences, we need to personalise learning paths. We also want to make learning engaging and fun to our employees."

To support blended learning at tesa, NetDimensions Learning will also be integrated with the company's conference-management system, which is used, for example, for booking classrooms.

"We chose NetDimensions as it is a truly global company that was able to offer us a reliable and flexible solution for our new and innovative training and development approach," concluded Kochskämper. "We share tesa's strong focus on innovation, and we are very proud to support their global training and development strategy. NetDimensions' solutions help global manufacturing companies such as tesa build and maintain a competitive advantage in the marketplace," commented Liam Butler, General Manager of EMEA at NetDimensions.
