ON-BOARDING 2

On-boarding 2

In this On-boarding 2 you will:

Understand how to access all our training events

COMPILING AND TRACKING YOUR TRAINING PLAN

As a member of Batseta, you will have access to a system that will assist you to compile and track your training plan as well as CPD points for all professional principal officers and trustees.

This is a quick and easy process.

 

Step One: Book your Fund’s online skills gap analysis (survey).

This tool assesses the skills of the board of trustees on a collective level as well as those of the individual trustees. The survey highlights areas of development in eight broad categories. These categories mirror the scope, depth and breadth of the duties, roles and responsibilities of trustees. Participants also have an opportunity to indicate in which of these categories they would like refresher training. The survey provides guidance as to how training plans can be tailored for the board as a collective, or for individual trustees and principal officers.

 

How is the survey conducted?
You will access the tool by following a link which will be provided to you once you have booked your Skills Gap Analysis. You will then complete 50 questions which will provide an indication of the development areas for new trustees or refresher requirements for experienced trustees.

Step Two: Compile your fund’s training and/or Continuous Professional Development (CPD) plan

A fund is responsible for its own training and development planning. The fund may opt to put their own plan together or they may use the Batseta default option. The Batseta default option is current and relevant. 

The Fund can request Batseta to approve its training plan, whether it is the Fund’s own plan or the Batseta Default plan. By doing this, the Fund can be sure that its training plan is up to par with the rest of the industry and the Trustees and Principal Officer will be able to claim their CPD points.

Step Three: Manage your fund’s training plan with the help of Batseta’s MIS system

You will need to monitor your fund’s training and development activities. As a member, you have access to the Batseta Membership Information System (MIS).

It is a comprehensive electronic system that manages various aspects of the membership. One of the key functionalities relates to the management of training and CPD activities of retirement funds. The MIS system allows for the upload of the individual (trustee and principal officer) as well as collective (board) training and development plans. The MIS captures the various types of planned activities, assigns hourly based credits to indicate the time spent, schedules dates and times, and records learning achievements.

Various types of online reports are available. You can track and verify progress made with the implementation of your training and development plan.
