A new training system for the council's staff

Hafnarfjörður Municipality has launched a new learning management system – Eloomi – for all of the council's staff. A great deal of preparatory work has taken place over the past few days, weeks and months with the involvement of professionals from a wide range of fields, and it is the hope of all those involved, who have taken part in the shaping, development and implementation of the system, that it marks a new beginning in educational matters within the municipality.

^{It was none other than Gyða Sól who officially opened the system in a live broadcast on Workplace, the council's internal social media platform, last weekend as a „new employee“ at Skarðshlíðarskóli. Here is Gyða Sól with Guðrún Þorsteinsdóttir, HR Manager, and Rósa Guðbjartsdóttir, Mayor.}
