Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS named world’s best LMS for the Retail industry
Growth Engineering, a multi-award winning learning technologies company, has had its Academy LMS listed as the world’s best LMS for companies in the retail sector.
The accolade was given by eLearning analyst Craig Weiss, who was recently named as the world’s most influential person in the corporate eLearning sector.
Craig reviews more than 690 different learning management systems to put together his Top 50 LMSs Report. It is in this report that Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS is listed as the #1 LMS for retail businesses.
Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS is built to engage learners with their training. It does everything expected of an LMS (hosting and delivering learning content, assessments, reviews, classroom bookings, surveys, etc.), but also adds full social and gamification functionality to improve the user experience.
Growth Engineering has now claimed the top spot in Craig’s Top Retail LMS list for three years in a row.
Juliette Denny, Managing Director of Growth Engineering, said: “This year just keeps getting better! Reaching the number one spot in this ranking yet again is such a huge testament to all the hard work put in by our entire team.
“With most retailers employing small armies of frontline sales staff, getting training right across your workforce makes such a massive impact. It’s simply awesome to get named as the go-to provider for anyone in the retail sector!”
Growth Engineering has a wide range of retail clients. One example is Steinhoff, one of the largest furniture retail groups in the world, with a global workforce of 90,000 employees.
In 2011, Bensons for Beds was formed following the merger of Bensons, Sleepmasters and Bed Shed. Faced with the challenge of bringing together three retailing heavyweights, they teamed up with Growth Engineering to create Bensons Academy.
Built using Growth Engineering’s Academy LMS, Bensons Academy was packed with interactive content, and social and gamification features to keep learners engaged. It proved such a success that in 2014, parent company Steinhoff expanded the project to include Harvey’s and Cargo, with the platform rebranded as Steinhoff Learning Store.
The project has delivered enormous return on investment. This includes staff turnover being slashed by more than 50%, and onboarding time for new employees being reduced by 33%. It has also won three industry awards for Steinhoff and Growth Engineering.
