Boston – January 21, 2020 – Responding to strong demand from learners, Skillsoft, a global leader in corporate learning, today announced that it will enable learners to earn and collect portable digital badges on its award-winning intelligent learning experience platform, Percipio, in February 2020. Proven to motivate learners and increase employee engagement, digital badges drive continuous learning across an organization as they inspire people to build a virtual portfolio of their achievements and skills. "Badges as proof of learning accomplishment and credentialing are nothing new. Brandon Hall Group research shows companies that use badging during onboarding are at least 60 percent more likely to have improved engagement, retention and time-to-proficiency among new hires. But Skillsoft's digital badges within Percipio offer learners and organizations a unique value proposition," said David Wentworth, principal analyst, Brandon Hall Group.
