Empowering Dairygold with Totara for Seamless Compliance and Learning Excellence
Background
Dairygold, one of Ireland’s leading dairy cooperatives, is committed to excellence — not only in the quality of its products but also in the development and compliance of its workforce. With a large, distributed employee base across multiple facilities, Dairygold needed a modern learning platform that could centralise training, ensure compliance, and empower staff with accessible, relevant learning opportunities.

Challenge
Dairygold required a solution that could seamlessly integrate with its existing HR systems, support Single Sign-On (SSO), and provide a robust compliance framework to ensure every employee was up to date with essential training.
Problems
- Managing compliance training across a diverse workforce was time-consuming and fragmented
- HR and learning systems operated in silos, making it difficult to generate unified compliance reports
- Employees lacked an intuitive, personalised learning experience that encouraged engagement and growth
Solutions
- Comprehensive compliance management Dairygold gained full control over the learner experience, using Totara’s powerful rule engine to define who needs to complete what training — and by when.
- Seamless integration The platform integrated smoothly with Dairygold’s existing HR Information System (HRIS) and SSO identity provider, ensuring a unified and secure user experience.
- Expanded learning opportunities Through Totara’s integration with LinkedIn Learning, Dairygold provided its workforce with an extensive catalogue of professional development and skills training courses — all searchable and accessible through a single learning portal.
- Data-driven insights Leveraging Enovation’s database replication service, learning data from Totara now feeds into Dairygold’s HR data lake. This integration enables Power BI dashboards for senior leadership, providing rich insights into compliance and learning performance across the organisation.
