Case Study: POOLCORP achieves 70% employee participation and on-demand leadership development with Skillsoft

POOLCORP - Customer Case Study

POOLCORP, the world’s leading independent distributor of swimming pool supplies with more than 4,500 employees, 120,000+ wholesale customers and 350+ locations, needed a more efficient, cost-effective way to deliver training across a decentralized workforce. The company sought on-demand development that supported leadership development, succession planning and performance management while fitting employees’ varied schedules.

In 2007 POOLCORP launched EDGEucationSite, a personalized, password-protected learning portal accessible from work, home and mobile devices, populated with Skillsoft Business Skills, Management, Leadership and Compliance content plus instructor-led classes and scenario-based videos. The site attracted 3,281 unique users with a 70% participation rate, 35.5% new visitors and 64.5% returning visitors, earning strong employee praise and helping position POOLCORP as an employer of choice.
