Explorance
At Explorance, we believe that each experience matters. From students in higher education to employees at the workplace, feedback is vital for the lifelong learner's journey. That's why Explorance's mission is to help organizations create a personalized journey of impact and fulfillment for their people through innovative Experience Management (XM) solutions.
With Blue, the Experience Management Platform , and Metrics That Matter , organizations can gather richer insights to make the best decisions for developing their key stakeholders' skills, knowledge, and competencies while meeting their needs and expectations. As the world's largest provider of XM solutions for the lifelong learner, Explorance supports more than 750 organizations in 45 countries, including 35% of the Fortune 100 and over 25% of the QS top 100 higher education institutions.
We believe in the human touch at Explorance and are known for our pioneering Culture of Free Will built on autonomy, empowerment, and trust. To our employees, this means the freedom to bring achievement into their own lives. For our customers, it means caring for their needs and helping them succeed. For our communities, it means doing our part to help our neighbors simply because it's the right thing to do. Explorance is ranked the #2 best workplace in Canada by the Great Places to Work® Institute and is headquartered in Montreal with business units in Chicago, Chennai, London, Amman, and Melbourne.
