Tailored communities that drive real learning

Spaces isn't another chat tool. It gives every team, department or project a dedicated, permission-controlled environment to share knowledge, ask questions and learn together — with the right content reaching the right people every time.

Create dedicated Spaces for departments, project groups, leadership cohorts or cross-functional teams. Whether it's the onboarding Space for new starters or a leadership community for managers, Spaces make collaboration organised and accessible.

Give every new joiner a dedicated Space with curated resources, introductions and team knowledge from day one. New starters feel part of the team before they've finished their first onboarding pathway. See how Huel built a thriving new starter community with Thrive.

Connect Spaces to skills and learning pathways so peer knowledge supports formal development. When someone shares a tip, it counts. See how Sumo Group used Spaces to share expertise across studios on four continents.

Control who can access, post and moderate each Space. Set permissions by team, department, region or seniority so sensitive knowledge stays protected. Admin controls extend to every Space on the platform.

Frequently asked questions

What are Spaces in Thrive?

Spaces are dedicated communities within your LMS where teams can share knowledge, discuss topics and collaborate around shared interests or roles. Each Space can be configured with its own permissions, content and members so it stays relevant and focused.

How are Spaces different from a chat tool?

Chat tools are designed for quick messages. Spaces are designed for structured knowledge sharing. Content posted in a Space is searchable, organised and connected to learning, so it builds over time rather than disappearing in a thread.

How do Spaces compare to Workplace from Meta or Microsoft Viva Engage?

Workplace from Meta and Microsoft Viva Engage are standalone employee communication tools. Thrive Spaces are built directly into your LMS, so knowledge sharing, peer learning and team communities sit alongside pathways, compliance and skills development in one platform. There is no separate tool to manage or licence, and everything employees share in a Space is connected to their learning record.
