NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Grovo, the next-generation learning solution for the enterprise, today announced a trio of new product features that arm learning and development teams with the data and tools to quickly scale effective learning programs throughout their organizations. With Grovo’s new User Management API, Events, and Powers capabilities, learning administrators can now coordinate diverse learning activities from a central hub to drive efficacy.
The enhanced features were developed to support Grovo’s progressive clients, who are increasingly adopting blended and decentralized learning programs, as well as integrating learning throughout their HR technology stack to drive engagement.
“Learning and development programs are being challenged to grow in scope and sophistication. Grovo’s new product features make that possible by quickly enabling effective learning across departments. It gives L&D leaders the power to develop organization-wide cultures of learning,” said Grovo Cofounder Nick Narodny, who oversees the company’s engineering, product and design functions.
RESTful API
Grovo’s new RESTful API reduces administrative burden so clients can spend less time managing learning and more time improving it. It allows learning administrators to quickly synchronize user information, along with user performance and training data, across their entire learning ecosystem. The API is designed around best practices for security and standard data formats.
With the RESTful API, companies can seamlessly integrate their Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) or Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) with Grovo. This makes the Grovo platform powerful enough to operate as a standalone learning solution and flexible enough to work alongside a company’s existing software to drive deeper learning engagement and better business results.
Powers
Learning and development’s role may have previously been siloed to content creation and distribution, but Grovo clients like DDB Worldwide are now moving toward facilitating learning across departments. The launch of Powers enables advanced user permissions to support these decentralized programs and empowers individual managers to train their teams.
"With over 200 agencies around the globe, DDB is decentralizing its learning to put administrative power in the hands of individual departments, rather than just each agency’s Talent/HR person,” said Veronica Tucker, Global Talent Development Manager of DDB Worldwide. “With learning being managed at a more micro level, learning solutions can be better pinpointed. Individual team and department leads will be able to recommend, assign, and upload. This unlocks a huge amount of value.”
With Powers, admins can give select users access to specific features within the Grovo platform. Managers and other team members can be granted the power to view reporting, assign training, create training, manage people, set powers, and view account settings.
Events
With Grovo’s new Events capabilities, it’s now simple to execute blended learning programs - mixing online and offline learning to reduce time to competence and achieve greater performance gains. Blended learning improves learning engagement by allowing in-person sessions to become interactive workshops, rather than simply function as lecture halls.
Admins can now layer live development sessions within broader e-learning tracks on Grovo, or schedule and track attendance at standalone training events. Trainers can also assign pre- and post-event microlearning lessons to increase knowledge acquisition and improve skill building.
These product additions boost the robust analytics, learning management, and content authoring tools of Grovo’s platform. Combined with Grovo’s award-winning microlearning content and learning advisory support, companies get a holistic solution to elevate employee performance, attract talent, and create job love.
