Meet Amanda Memoli, a talented and ambitious student from the IDOL Academy. Amanda recently completed a project for her program that has earned her recognition and praise. Her project, the Oral Care Product Code Quick Reference Guide for Waterpik, has been deemed a valuable asset for new sales and marketing employees at the company.

The Problem:

As an instructional designer, Amanda observed a common challenge faced by the employees at Waterpik. During meetings, they were expected to recall specific information about oral care products based on lengthy product codes. This was not only time-consuming but also caused unnecessary stress and pressure. Amanda saw an opportunity to solve this problem and make the training process more efficient for new employees.

The Solution:

Amanda's project was designed to provide a reference guide for new employees to quickly and easily recall information about oral care products based on their codes. The Oral Care Product Code Quick Reference Guide is a visually appealing and user-friendly job aid that can be easily accessed and used during meetings or presentations. Amanda used her design skills and creativity to develop the guide using Canva, one of the most popular  and user friendly graphic design platforms.

The Process:

Amanda's dedication and hard work can be seen in the final product. She spent countless hours researching and familiarizing herself with the product codes and features of Waterpik's oral care products. She then used her skills and knowledge to organize the information in a clear and concise manner, making it easy for new employees to understand and recall. Amanda also collaborated with subject matter experts and received valuable feedback to ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of her job aid.

The Results:

Amanda's project has received positive feedback from her SME and a few employees at Waterpik who were asked to review it. They have praised the guide for its simplicity and usefulness in their daily work. The job aid will be rolled out with an eLearning course and Amanda is eagerly waiting to see the impact of her project. She hopes that it will help new employees identify basic features of a product more quickly based on the product codes.

The Impact:

Amanda's project has not only solved a problem but also made a positive impact on the training process for new employees at Waterpik. It has streamlined the process, saving time and reducing stress for employees. The Oral Care Product Code Quick Reference Guide will be a valuable resource for Waterpik's sales and marketing team, and Amanda's contribution will be recognized and remembered for years to come.
