From Levy to Legacy: Maximising Your HRD Investment with Skillsoft Percipio

Most organisations pay the HRD Corp levy in Malaysia, but not many exploit its benefits as they should. The fund is designed to strengthen the workforce and equip employees with better skills, secure old industries and boost the nation’s capability. However, organisations regularly miss the chance to invest fully, often spending on short-term programs that bring limited results.

Although there are plenty of funds available, many employers miss out on using their HRD Corp money to upskill their team members. Today, thanks to HRD Corp’s new expansion, 6.1 million employees can gain support within 18 sectors and 238 subsectors, even so, quite a few companies still fail to claim what they deserve. If HRD Corp doesn’t receive any claims after a set time, they take the policy money and you lose what you put into it.

That’s why Skillsoft Percipio is important.

Skillsoft Percipio helps organisations turn the funds from their annual levy into valuable training benefits. Employees have access to a wealth of resources 24/7, including more than 180,000 learning assets such as 9,000 courses led by experts, 50,000 online videos, books, audiobooks, computer simulations and labs to develop skills in leadership, technology, compliance and more areas. No matter if your team is on their phones or computers, on a network or working without one, Percipio has interactive learning options for them all.

Unlike other platforms, Percipio uses AI to help users learn by recommending content that matches their job, tastes and skill level. Because of this, learners remain motivated by content that is important for them making sure training results in actual growth. HR can also analyse data to find learning problems, arrange professional growth and prove the return on investment.

Percipio offers CAISY (Conversational AI Simulation Experience) which utilises AI technology to help users practice key communication and leadership skills. We will dive deeper into CAISY in the next article, but its introduction points to a new way digital platforms can help build key behavioural traits for many users.

Essentially, Percipio helps companies turn their levy spending into smart and planned investing. It’s important to develop a learning culture that lasts, not just check off the boxes for compliance.

If you're contributing to HRD Corp’s levy, the question isn't “Should we invest?” because you're already doing that. The real question is, “Are we investing smartly?”
