Hi, my name is Lou and I volunteer for a not for profit. We have been using SmartSheet forms to gather information about our website users.

I've been using SmartSheet for about ten years.

I like to sail, swim, and ride a tandem bicycle with my wife of 54 years.

So happy to have you in the Community @Lou_L_IL, 10 years of Smartsheet experience is amazing! Also, riding a tandem bicycle with your wife sounds lovely. 😊

Hi, I'm Jen and I work in the biosciences field helping to develop mRNA for research. I brought Smartsheet applications to the forefront of our company's application usage, having learned all about it on the fly- right as I started. Now I can't image NOT using Smartsheet for all our data tracking, reporting, etc.

In my down-time, I enjoy spending time with my teenage son (when he'll hang with me), my husband, and our 3 dogs (Mabel, Franklin, and Daisy).

Hi I'm Jeanette. I'm a Smartsheet and SharePoint SME at Bose, working in the automotive division. I live in sunny Arlington, TX and work remotely. I have 6 grandkids, 4 of them live nearby and love coming over to swim in our pool. I'm a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan but please don't hold it against me because we really suck this year. Ugh.

ShereeJ

Hello Smartsheet Community,

My name is Sheree, and I am the Training Manager for a distribution company operating across the UK, Ireland, and EMEA regions. With a strong passion for neuroscience in organizational change and learning and development, I leverage Smartsheet to streamline and enhance various facets of our training and operational processes.

Here's how I utilize Smartsheet in our organization:

1. Employee Onboarding: I manage the onboarding process for new employees, ensuring a smooth transition into the organization. Smartsheet helps us keep track of each new hire's onboarding journey, including orientation sessions and initial training schedules.

2. Training Programs: I maintain a comprehensive record of our training programs, including the creation and review dates for each module. This ensures our training materials are up-to-date and relevant, enhancing the learning experience for our employees.

3. Learning Personas: To better understand our learners, I developed a survey within Smartsheet to create detailed learning personas. This information allows us to tailor our training programs to meet the diverse needs of our workforce.

4. Business Research Projects: Smartsheet has been instrumental in organizing and executing business research projects, allowing us to manage tasks, track progress, and collaborate effectively.

5. Resolution Centre: As part of a cross-functional team, we ideated and implemented a Resolution Centre using Smartsheet. This platform enables our employees to communicate and collaborate across various business functions to resolve customer service queries, issues, and concerns efficiently. Each query is assigned a ticket number, ensuring a systematic approach to resolution. Additionally, we use it to log customer complaints and escalations and recognize and reward employees for their outstanding contributions.

6. Future Projects: Looking ahead, I aim to develop a skills gap matrix within Smartsheet. This will help us identify and address skill shortages within our team, fostering continuous development and ensuring we are well-equipped to meet future challenges.

I am excited to be part of this community and look forward to learning from and collaborating with all of you. If you have any tips, suggestions, or best practices for using Smartsheet, I would love to hear them!

Best regards,
