Huel drastically cuts down onboarding time with Thrive

Sustaining quick growth

In 2021, Huel was named the 7th fastest growing UK company on The Sunday Times Fast Track 100, with annual sales rising by over 130%.

With all the excitement of growth, it was clear to Huel’s People Manager Vicki Bacon what they needed: a new way to scale onboarding to new starters wherever they’re working; the ability to record and manage compliance; and the capability to help their people develop the critical skills they need to “hustle hard, work fast” - one of Huel’s core values.

Transforming onboarding

Huel Learn was the answer to scale their onboarding experience, and get new “Hueligans” up to speed quickly whilst maintaining the quality and consistency of training. Vicki and the People Team at Huel built a world-class onboarding pathway on Thrive, full of content that instantly makes new starters feel part of the team, wherever they might be working. This has saved time for their people across the board.

Vicki commented: "We're really pleased that it’s saved time for our Hueligans - cutting down on time spent answering the same questions over and over has all been achieved through creating our own content to counter these and form part of the onboarding process.”

Heuligan culture

Since launch, Huel Learn has achieved 88% active users and shared over 5,226 pieces of content. It has transformed Huel’s learning culture, and become the all-in-one place for learning, content and communication, which has made collaboration, personal development and real-time learning more accessible for all Hueligans.

There are plenty more inspirational learning campaigns and engagement initiatives coming up for Huel, and the team hit their 90% active users KPI within the first two months.
