AUSTIN, Texas, September 7, 2022 — Learning management and talent development software provider Schoox, in collaboration with their client Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., won Silver in the Best Use of Video category in the 2022 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.

The double drive-thru quick service restaurant company uses fresh, innovative short-form video in their “Crazy Good Learning” program, which serves up training to all employees across the Checkers & Rally’s brands from the Schoox learning management system (LMS).

“We are honored to receive this recognition,” said Theresa Papaleo, Senior Director of Learning for Checkers. “Crazy Good Learning, powered by Schoox, is our one-stop learning solution for over 11,000 corporate and franchise employees in 850 restaurants across the United States.”

The winning entry shared the company’s journey to improve employee engagement and meet quarterly initiatives via video learning. Using Schoox’s native mobile app on devices available in all restaurants, staff scan QR codes to quickly access short-form videos with an authentic, social media-like feel. Following the video learning launch, Checkers saw logins to the Schoox LMS double compared to the same timeframe in the previous year.

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to help Checkers provide comprehensive training opportunities that positively impact their employees and strengthen the bottom line.” said Lefteris Ntouanoglou, Chief Executive Officer for Schoox.

“Excellence Award winners distinguish themselves through their growing understanding that all the functions of HCM are integrated and must work together to move businesses forward,” said Brandon Hall Group COO Rachel Cooke, leader of the HCM Excellence Awards program.

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon these criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation and overall measurable benefits.

Excellence Award winners are scheduled to be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, Jan. 31-Feb. 2, 2023, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida.
