Modern looking platform with many features and great support

My favorite part of using Acorn PLMS is how customizable the site is. We were able to simply build custom dashboards that match our company branding and are modern and inviting. We’ve been able to create workflows to simplify our processes and automate tasks that used to take us hours each week in our previous platform.

Improved Experiences in Acorn PLMS

We have been using Acorn PLMS for just about 6 months. There are three primary improvements compared to our use of a previous system. 1) Improved Learner Experience: ​With Acorn's multi-tenancy features, we have the ability to easily provide targeted, branded experience to our Client-Partners and other teams. We have not had negative feedback from any learners regarding difficul​ty using the site - it is intuitive for learners. 2) Improved Visual Experience for learners and administrators: With Acorn's Widget Dashboards, we are able to more quickly provide a home page or reports dashboard, as well as display in a variety of formats. 3) Improved Administrative Experience: Ease of access, design, and super-responsive support and partnership from our technical account manager and the client success and support teams, as well as original sales team.

Excellent Product, Even Better Support

There are so many great things about Acorn PLMS! First, working with their staff from the research/demo phase to implementation has been phenomenal. I can't say enough how helpful and patient they have been through the whole process of purchasing and implementation (still ongoing for me).Our company is building a training department from scratch, and as Training Manager, one of my first priorities was to research and find an LMS that works well for our company. At a conference, I met Jon Pettigrew, and thus began the consideration of Acorn PLMS. Acorn has a great LMS to catalog all your learning, whether it is content you have created internally or integrated from a partnered library. What makes Acorn PLMS even better than other LMSs is its additional features, Capabilities and Momentum. Capabilities adds another layer to understanding where your learners are and where they may need some extra attention. We are excited to implement Capabilities in our company so that employees can see not only where they are, but also what they need to work on to advance within the company and proactively work toward those goals. Although I haven't done much with Momentum yet, I have LOTS of ideas for it, and being a training department of one, any automation in processes will help me out tremendously. I also love the user-friendliness of the platform, and am confident our employees will feel the same when they get to use the system soon!

What is Acorn?

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 organization'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.
