Looking for a better way to connect
With a global footprint and teams spread across continents, Essentra needed a way to unify employee training and internal communications throughout the business. Their ambition was to create a seamless experience for every employee, whether in a desk-based role or on the shop floor, delivering learning as intuitively as the apps their people use every day, mirroring the UX of apps like Netflix or Facebook.
Just as importantly, they needed a way to support every individual's growth and build a learning culture that gives back to their people. Above all, it had to be mobile-friendly, and powerful enough to bring learning and comms into one hassle-free hub.
Built for the way people work today
For Essentra, Thrive wasn't just a learning platform, it became a key internal channel for sharing updates, reinforcing messages, and driving collaboration. Campaigns combined learning content with business communications, creating a learning experience that captures people's attention no matter where they're based or what their job role is.
Thrive offered the flexibility Essentra needed to reach their people more effectively. With new tools like targeted learning pathways and smarter audience segmentation, they've seen a 109% rise in new joiners engaging with key onboarding content. From video and email to SharePoint links, Thrive became the go-to space for delivering personalised, high-impact learning, and the mobile app ensured frontline manufacturing colleagues could access training from any device on any shift.
Collaboration across borders
Engagement has flourished globally. From likes and comments on content to global campaigns that invite people to share, like a photography challenge showcasing colleagues' natural surroundings, social learning features have helped build a more connected, collaborative culture across borders. With likes up 269% and comments by 250%, engagement is no longer a small part of the culture, but a key component of it.
DEI and ESG campaigns have sparked even more conversation, with engagement up by over 100%, gaining 174% more likes and 115% more comments. An employee survey showed a 3% rise in people agreeing Essentra supports their growth. Analytics gave leadership visibility of engagement and completion across every manufacturing site.
"I would definitely recommend Thrive. If you're looking for a platform that encourages collaboration [and] encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own learning, that's what Thrive allows you to do."
