Welcome to Training Management & COVID-19: Solutions for the Coronavirus Pandemic – a series of interviews with enterprise training leaders from around the world who are adapting the way they work. They’ll share some of the scenarios they’re facing, identity best practices, what’s working and what’s not, and we’re hopefully going to laugh a lot along the way as well.  My name is John Peebles, CEO of Administrate, and today I have Julia Rosenthal from TÜV SÜD in Germany on the line. TÜV SÜD runs a growing and global training operation that includes countries like Italy, which has sadly been hit hard by the coronavirus. We talk about how her and her team have managed significant changes to their training operations in the wake of Europe grappling with the spread of the disease, the steps they took to prepare of the inevitable shutdown of their training centers, and how they are providing their instructors with unique ways to still engage with learners.
