“It’s about the entire employee journey. From pre-boarding and onboarding that begins before the first workday, to skills training, all the way through to feedback based learning and individualised personal development, helping strengthen acquisition and retention of employees with the right skills.

During the COVID-19 pandemic it has become even more clear that businesses throughout the world are shifting towards a need for digitalisation and eloomi plays a central role in facilitating digital people development.”
