"Cloda is really user-friendly and makes it easy for our staff to access information on our best practice policies and procedures.

The Challenges Cowper Care Faced
Time Consuming Policy Searches
Locating specific procedures with the previous system required skimming lengthy documents, often taking up to 15 minutes.
Lack of Assurance on Policy Comprehension
The previous system did not capture comprehension of policies, making it difficult to verify if staff truely understood procedures.
Diverse Staff Backgrounds
As policies were only available in English, it posed challenges in ensuring ease of understanding of policies for staff who's first language may not be English.
No Real Time Insights
Without real time analytics or dashboards, managers couldn’t easily monitor engagement or identify gaps in policy comprehension across the team.
