Mercer, a global consulting leader in advancing health, wealth and career and a wholly owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies (NYSE: MMC), has launched a partnership with Gnowbe, a pioneering mobile-first micro-learning platform, to empower HR professionals to upskill on-the-go. The partnership with Gnowbe would allow human resource professionals in the region to access Mercer’s robust learning content on demand in a mobile-first environment.
The micro-learning modules are set to launch in early 2019 and will see a new approach to the learning of specialized HR skills, one that is bite-sized, collaborative, and drives ‘on-the-job application’ amidst increasing expectations from the HR professionals in the industry.
Gnowbe presents organizations with data-driven real-time user analytics and engaging, self-directed learning experience and facilitates peer-to-peer interaction and learning. With smartphones being key to Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative, Gnowbe has capitalized on the smartphone as a critical learning tool in the daily lives of professionals.
"We are thrilled to bring to fruition our strategic partnership with Mercer in closing the skills gap, especially in the HR domain, as we continue to empower organizations and busy professionals with industry-specific skills right in-their-pockets." said So-Young Kang, Founder and Chief Energizer of Gnowbe.
“This partnership is an exciting journey for us as we are aligning our learning solutions for our clients to the digital age. We look forward to “Gnowbefying” more from our Mercer Learning Online repertoire to provide 24*7 access on-the-go for our clients and enable them to develop their teams for the future of work.” said Puneet Swani, Career Business Leader, International Region for Mercer.
