Kepler empowers an organization’s human resources
What they do:
Kepler is a skills-gap and learning experience platform (LXP) software that is connected to a marketplace of training content providers. Kepler's engine optimizes learning by dynamically allocating resources from the company's internal learning platform and top online learning providers. This customization and tracking enablement allows for personalized learning journeys while also generating valuable learning analytics. These insights, correlated with sales, NPS, customer and staff satisfaction data, empower organizations to measure impact, ROI, and strategically inform future learning and development initiatives and budgets.
Why we invested:
Investing in employee development fosters higher job satisfaction, productivity, and retention, ultimately driving innovation and long-term organizational success. In today's age, with the rapid advancement of AI and automation, upskilling people is crucial for businesses to prepare their workforce for the changing nature of work and to harness the potential of emerging technologies effectively.
