“Jennifer Lee, Group Human Resources Director, Jurys Inn said: “We’re delighted to receive this recognition for the our work in implementing Grow Online. It’s been a great project so far and has helped us add real value to our business as we adapt for future growth. At Jurys Inn Grow Online is so much more than an LMS – its quickly become an online platform that helps us connect our people across all our hotels and brands as well as delivering really important training."

The award-winning solution was developed by Learning Pool with Jurys Inn as part of a wider blended programme, providing an extensive staff development programme, tailored to Jurys brand values, which has helped improved employee metrics across the organisation.

Employees are introduced to the Jurys Inn’s Learning Management System, Grow Online, even before they start their new job and once on board, the system continues to support team members with training tailored depending on their role and their skillset.

Paul McElvaney, Learning Pool CEO said: "Learning Pool prides itself on its ability to truly collaborate with our clients, and Jurys Inn’s success at this year's E-learning Age Awards is testament to our working relationship and strength of the solution we developed.

The competition in this category was especially fierce so to win silver is a great achievement for everyone concerned. The even better news is that the team is still full of energy and ideas so we’re really looking forward to the next phase of our partnership with Jurys Inn."
