How to Assign a Head of Department for the Training Module Approval Process

Assigning a Head of Department is critical for managing training approvals and workflows in the Training Management Module.

Introduction

Assigning a Head of Department is an essential step to managing the Training Management module approvals effectively and maintaining a smooth flow. This guide walks you through the importance of assigning a department head.

Why Assigning a Department Head is Essential

The Head of Department (HOD) plays a key role in the training management module's approval workflow. When the HOD role is included in the approval process, all related approval tasks will be automatically assigned to the employee designated as the Head of Department. This person will be responsible for approving:

  • Training enrollment requests

  • Training creation requests

These approvals apply to all submissions made by employees within their department. Having a designated HOD ensures accountability and a more structured approval process.
