More than mandatory training

Until recently, mandatory training had dominated Staffline's learning agenda, but it was time for a change. Their compliance system was overdue a refresh, and no longer meeting the needs of the business or their learners.

Staffline needed a new, modern learning platform that could offer technical, role-based learning as well as leadership and soft skills training for their 2,000 employees, ready to invest in employee engagement and social learning alongside the essentials.

How Thrive met the challenge

Together with Staffline, Thrive helped deliver a slick, fully-branded learning experience platform that emulated the look and feel of social media channels, rather than a traditional LMS. Barry Davison, Head of Learning and Development, called it "the Netflix of learning" to describe how much Thrive helped them mirror the experiences their employees have in their personal lives.

This doesn't only apply to look and feel. Staffline now offers a personalised approach to learning that uses AI to recommend relevant content to each individual. Campaigns drove awareness while structured pathways replaced the old compliance-only approach with a more engaging, development-first employee training experience.

Countdown to launch

The L&D team at Staffline ran a campaign titled "Learning is about to change in our business" six to eight weeks before launching Thrive, to build intrigue and excitement for the roll-out. They also put together a focus group of "learning influencers" to get people talking, collect feedback and spread their marketing messages around the organisation.

Learners picked the platform up so quickly that Staffline saw a 71% engagement rate and 9,000+ content completions in their first few weeks. Analytics gave the L&D team clear sight of engagement and completion, while frontline training content reached workers across warehouses, logistics hubs and contact centres.

“One of the things we loved about Thrive was the innovation and opportunity to work with an organisation that absolutely wants to make learning fun and engaging. It’s about the user experience vs measuring mandatory training.”
