A great platform is nothing without great content, which is nothing without relevancy.
As your business grows, the chances are that you've got too much content to stay in control of. With an expanding employee base and a greater diversity of roles, there is high demand for creating structured personal development pathways.
In this article we’ll cover the challenges growing businesses face when building learning experiences for your ever growing workforce. And how 5app can offer smart solutions to tackle these challenges head on to support employee growth and development
Managing learning and development at scale can be a daunting task. The need to create personalised learning for employees is essential to ensure that learning experiences align with their unique roles, skills, and goals. You'll no doubt face specific challenges such as:
1. Content overload: The larger your organisation gets, the more content you will have. Without clear pathways and content assignments, people struggle to find the most relevant content for their role. This leads to disengagement in the content and platform and, ultimately, could lead to employee churn.2. The complexity of roles: as your business grows, it naturally gets more complex - with new roles, departments and locations created - the demand for more personalised content that supports the employee's function and career progression rises
3. Timely delivery: even the most personalised content will only be effective if learners are motivated to engage with it. Growing organisations need to ensure timely and strategic content delivery to sustain learners' interest and encourage consistent engagement.
4. Remaining agile: a growing business will be fast-paced, so creating agile learning pathways is crucial. Adapting existing pathways or creating new ones needs to be flexible to keep with the pace of your learner's demands
Enter 5app, a platform specifically designed to support personalised learning pathways through an agile and efficient approach.
5app tackles these challenges with a combination of tailored features designed to make personalised learning seamless, scalable, and effective. Here's how each core feature supports a personalised learning pathway, ensuring content relevance, engagement, and agility.
One of 5app's standout features is Smart Teams, an automated grouping system based on employee credentials such as job role, location, and department. With Smart Teams, administrators set criteria that automatically place learners in the most relevant teams. This means that every learner, from a new hire in marketing to an experienced manager in operations, receives content tailored to their specific role and needs.
Smart Teams create a foundation for personalised learning pathways by grouping learners based on relevant attributes. Learners are no longer faced with an overwhelming library of content; instead, they gain access to targeted resources that align with their unique learning journey. For a growing organisation, Smart Teams can reduce the time and effort involved in manually assigning content while ensuring that each learner is on a pathway supporting their career development.
Playlists lie at the heart of everything at 5app - empowering administrators to create targeted lists of materials for the learner. So whether it's leadership development, product knowledge, or technical skills - you can assemble your content in a matter of minutes and assign it to individuals, teams, or Smart Teams, making it easy to direct content to the right audience.
This curated approach helps learners progress in their careers without sifting through unrelated content, making learning more engaging, efficient and effective.
To further direct your people to the most relevant content - Featured for You allows you to create a personalised homepage at an individual or team level. Highlighting recommended content at the homepage level ensures learners are always aware of key resources, helping them stay on track with their personalised learning pathway.
With "Featured for You," learners no longer need to navigate extensive libraries to find relevant information. Instead, they see a prioritised list, encouraging them to engage with content that's directly aligned with their role or skill needs.
5app's Nudges feature is a subtle but effective tool for encouraging engagement. Admins can schedule notifications or reminders for learners to complete specific content or revisit important material, keeping learners accountable to their personalised learning journey.
Nudges add a layer of strategic communication, reminding learners of upcoming or overdue content and supporting continuous learning momentum.
This was the biggest challenge for high-flying customer Ascent Flight training. The team at 5app helped launch the Ascent competency framework, which helped deliver personalised learning pathways to over 400 employees across 90 roles within the organisation.
With the ability to create dynamic learning pathways tailored to each learner's role and responsibilities, 5app eliminates content overload, boosts engagement, and supports organisational agility. The platform is designed for quick, efficient implementation, making it easy for administrators to curate and deliver content without sacrificing relevance or impact.
5app isn't just a learning management system—it's a strategic partner for organisations that value personalised, impactful learning that adapts as they do. Through thoughtful, user-centric design and innovative features, 5app ensures that every employee's learning journey is meaningful, relevant, and aligned with their career goals.
