How It Helps Anna

Everybody wins!

Users, managers, the L&D team, Nathan, and Anna all benefit from the new system. More people are using training, managers and IDs know what’s being used and how successful learners are. The L&D team is growing, and the organization as a whole is stronger because people are getting the support and training they need.
