Acorn Reviews & Product Details

Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill. What a company holds is workforce evidence: proof of what its people can achieve, drawn from the work itself. Every AI suggestion is grounded in the organisation's own configured framework, and a named person signs off before it reaches an employee. Assessment results are evidence for a conversation, never an automated decision about anyone's career. Acorn serves customers across HR, Talent Management and L&D teams globally.

"I love this PLMS! I believe it has everything we need to be able to offer competency-based training!"

5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

The Capabilities for sure! Being able to offer competency-based training and assessment is the way to go! Acorn PLMS is easy to use, and the implementation process offers you support and help in every step. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Acorn?

The only downside is that you cannot create subfolders to better organize resources, but for the rest, it is THE PLMS any business needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now our annual evaluation process and the training are not explicitly connected. With Acorn, we will streamline the faculty annual evaluation process by using Acorn Assessment Campaigns. From the data collected there, we will be able to design and offer professional development to fill the gaps found. All in one LMS! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A solid solution"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Acorn?

As a new user of LMS systems in the Government space, Acorn has been a user-friendly and relatively intuitive product. The support from the team is great and there are plenty of online help guides to continually improve your own offering. And I know we're just scratching the surface!

What do you dislike about Acorn?

At times, there was a little lack of polish with the product not quite doing what was expected, then troubleshooting where the issue stems from was not straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
