How can you make sure that your workplace learning isn’t just inclusive, but effective?
Part of the answer lies in adaptive learning – and in this blog, we’ll let you in on how this is absolutely essential for an inclusive L&D strategy.
The clue is in its name, after all: Inclusive by nature, it adapts to fit around each individual user – helping to shape learning that lands with everyone.
Workplace learning is no longer just about digitising content or delivering courses more efficiently; it’s about making sure that every single employee (no matter their background, abilities, skill level, or age) has equal opportunity to grow in their roles.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has become a hot-button issue in 2025. But at Thrive, this topic has been an essential part of our Content offering for years – and we have no plans of changing that.
To quote our Co-CEO, Cassie Gasson:
DEI goes beyond ticking a box or crafting a squeaky-clean image for your organisation. It’s about ensuring that everyone who works for you is supported. What does this mean for L&D teams? Well, their role is designing learning experiences that are not only engaging and effective, but inclusive by default.
As organisations put greater focus on DEI, adaptive learning is emerging as a powerful tool to personalise learning at scale – and close the access gap that still persists in many development strategies.
In any organisation, learners come with a wide range of needs. For example:
Traditional learning strategies often assume a single format, which can unintentionally exclude employees – or worse, cause them to check out of learning altogether. If you want your people to feel like active participants in their learning and not bored bystanders, it’s time to harness adaptive learning.
Adaptive learning tailors content to match those all-important individual learner profiles. It embraces individuality and fits around it – not the other way around.
Inclusion in learning is both an essential element of an equitable workplace, and a business imperative.
Here are just a few of the benefits of inclusive learning for business:
The challenge for L&D teams is finding ways to deliver this level of support without increasing administrative complexity. That’s where adaptive technology comes in.
Here are a few ways adaptive learning (when implemented through a modern platform like Thrive!) supports more inclusive learning cultures:
Adaptive systems use performance data and behavioural insights to create custom learning journeys for each employee. That means learners don’t have to follow the same linear track — they can skip what they already know, revisit what they find challenging, and learn in a way that suits their pace.
People learn differently. (Something of which we’re sure you’re already acutely aware.)
Some can very easily sit down and focus on a lengthy instructional PDF – others start to glaze over partway through the first paragraph and need a video or microlearning module for the insights to land. Adaptive learning allows you to provide content in varied formats, meaning that you can provide accessible learning for everyone – no matter their ability, learning preferences, neurotype, or language.
Abilities and learning preferences aren’t the only factors to consider. Another resource that some employees have more of than others is time.
By offering bite-sized, mobile-friendly content, adaptive learning allows employees to learn in the moments that work for them — whether that’s five minutes on a lunch break or half an hour between meetings. This is particularly powerful for parents, carers, shift workers and part-time employees.
Learners receive instant guidance and feedback, helping those with lower confidence or previous negative experiences with learning to build momentum and self-belief — one small win at a time.
At Thrive, inclusivity is embedded in how our platform works. Here’s how:
Inclusive learning doesn’t happen by accident; it happens by design. And in today’s fast-paced, hybrid, and increasingly diverse workplaces, L&D teams need tools that help them meet every learner where they are.
Adaptive learning offers a way forward: scalable personalisation, flexible delivery, and data that drives equity. And with a platform like Thrive, you can embed that inclusivity into the core of your learning culture.
