What are the goals

The Edflex initiative addresses several challenges within the group: growing an attractive HR strategy, supporting human capital in the achievement of company objectives, and harnessing learning as a driver of innovation.

As a result, through Edflex, Gruau is providing diverse content (videos, podcasts, online courses...), within a digital tool that is accessible at any time, and which meets both the requirements of individual professions and the skills overlaps across different jobs.Gruau also called upon Edflex for the distinguishing feature of its package: an updated catalogue every month with new resources, and the option for learners to leave a review, together with recommendations.

Setting up a strategy

The training digitalization project - already under consideration for several months within the group - gathered pace during the public health crisis at the start of 2020.

By calling upon Edflex, Gruau's training team was then able to offer a catalogue containing more than 200 chosen resources for its 1,500 employees all over the world in less than 2 weeks.During the launch of the distance learning solution, several lines of communication were used:

  • A notification sent across internal software tools, and an email campaign sent to employees,
  • External communications: press releases and articles.

Analysis of the results

The platform, which was rolled out at a time of crisis, was met with enthusiasm from TheGruau Group's employees.

More than 400 training hours were recorded on the platform in 3 months, with more than 2,000 resources accessed, mainly within 3 categories:

  • English
  • Excel
  • Wellness at work

In order to monitor users' activity in realtime, the project team has access to a dedicated statistics area.Finally, feedback from employees has also been positive. In particular, they like the variety of resources available, and the ease of navigation when accessing the training solution.

“First of all, the Gruau Digital Academy came at a good time. For me who was teleworking, I had to organize my workspace at home, work as a team but from afar... I found content, articles and short videos on the essentials of how to organize, tutorials on office automation, whether to refresh my memory or to learn new techniques. And gradually out of curiosity about the content of management, English, relaxation, photography... I quickly got into the game. The Gruau Digital Academy offers varied content on everything and for everyone!”
