About Grundfos
Based in Denmark, Grundfos is the world’s largest pump manufacturer with over 19,000 employees working across more than 80 countries. They are also a world leader in water technology, contributing to global sustainability by pioneering technologies that improve quality of life for people and care for the planet.
The Challenge
English is the lingua franca of multinational business, and corporations with a global reach understand the importance of providing employees with the English training they need to communicate successfully with one another and clients worldwide. Grundfos has long been dedicated to this effort.
As part of a long-term plan to strengthen its global leadership position, Grundfos established a critical objective to build a customer-centric and collaborative culture.
Prior to working with Voxy, the scale of Grundfos’ workforce presented a challenge to this objective, especially for their Learning and Development team, as the demands of producing multiple translations of content in several local languages taxed their ability to work efficiently.
At the Executive level, it was imperative that leaders knew how to communicate in English effectively in order to collaborate with one another and expand the reach of their business.
Grundfos needed English training that was relevant to the specific needs of its diverse team and training that would support internal knowledge-sharing about core business functions and strategic company initiatives.
The Solution
In order to address Grundfos’s varied English training requirements and help them meet their key business objectives, Voxy provided them with a personalized English language learning platform based on authentic, real- world content.
Employees progressed through a self-paced, adaptive platform, with 24/7 access to certified instructors.
Grundfos’s corporate training materials were integrated seamlessly into the platform, and Voxy even created a custom course with two central units for Grundfos employees: Manufacturing and Grundfos Strategy.
The task-based instruction that Grundfos employees received was directly related to their roles throughout the organization. In order to gauge the efficacy of the program, executives had access to sophisticated data analytics and reporting to monitor progress and ROI.
Key Results
Voxy’s partnership with Grundfos has yielded some impressive outcomes. Our key results:
