Beekeeper now has a full-scale integration with EduMe, a mobile-based training platform for the deskless workforce, to improve organizational productivity and boost employee retention.
With the EduMe integration, Beekeeper adds a suite of in-app training functionalities designed for non-desk workers, signaling a paradigm shift in the way frontline-majority organizations have traditionally managed employee development and onboarding programs, the company said.
The EduMe integration brings mobile training courses, quizzes, assessments and individual lessons to frontline workers with access to upskilling and occupational training programs. A widget in the Beekeeper app aims to eliminate the need for paper-based processes. HR teams and company leadership can distribute targeted training reminders as instant push notifications through the Beekeeper app to encourage completion, monitor performance and ensure compliance.
Both EduMe’s training platform and Beekeeper’s suite of messaging services can be delivered in each employee’s preferred language, reducing the margin for translation error and ensuring that multi-lingual and international teams can access organizational knowledge. Administrators can also broadcast training initiatives to specific teams, roles, and locations or scale the training course company-wide.
The Beekeeper-EduMe integration optimizes employee performance through mobile-based, contextual training sessions that employees can access instantly through the home screen widget with one click. The integration aims to streamline processes and improve access to knowledge across the entire employee journey:
- Onboarding: Mobile courses to expedite and standardize new employee training programs.
- Productivity: Improved rates of task completion/success and adherence to safety standards.
- Training: Long-term access to opportunities for upskilling and expanded industry knowledge.
- Retention: Training to support internal mobility and foster better retention rates.
“What we’re celebrating here, beyond the exciting opportunity to partner with our friends at EduMe, is really an improvement to employee lifecycle management as a whole,” said Cris Grossmann, CEO and co-founder of Beekeeper, in a statement. “By democratizing the training process with mobile access, we’re pioneering a shift from traditional top-down leadership to a flatter communication structure that makes for a better employee experience, and stronger ROI. The shift to digital was already underway for the global workforce, and the challenges of the pandemic have expedited that shift. For companies with distributed teams, there has never been a better time to implement digital tools.”
