The company partners with enterprise employers to connect workforce goals with education to drive retention, fill critical roles and advance DEI goals. Here are highlights from an analyst briefing with Brandon Hall Group\u2122.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Personalized Learning Paths for Employee Growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>InStride\u2019s platform empowers employees to explore personalized learning paths that align with their career aspirations and skill development needs. This approach ensures that educational investments are relevant and impactful for both employees and the organization. Whether an employee is looking to upskill in their current role or make a career transition, InStride\u2019s platform provides the tools and resources to support their learning journey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Global Academic Network and Comprehensive Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>InStride \u2014 founded in 2019 with Arizona State University (ASU) and TPG Rise, a global fund committed to positive social and environmental impact \u2014 has established partnerships with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instride.com\/academic-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diverse network<\/a> of academic institutions worldwide. Besides ASU, this includes Central State University, a historically Black university, the City University of New York, The University of Memphis and many others.<\/p>\n<p>InStride provides diverse employees with access to a wide array of high-quality programs across various disciplines while allowing employers to customize education offerings to meet the specific needs of their workforce. InStride goes beyond simply connecting employees with educational opportunities; the company provides comprehensive support throughout the entire learning journey. From program design and implementation to ongoing coaching and support, InStride ensures a seamless and successful educational experience for employees.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Data-Driven Insights and Measurable Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>InStride\u2019s platform provides robust data and analytics capabilities, enabling organizations to track program participation, completion rates and skill acquisition. This data-driven approach allows employers to measure the impact of their education investments on key business metrics, such as employee engagement, retention and performance. By demonstrating the tangible benefits of workforce education, InStride helps organizations make informed decisions about their talent development strategies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Driving Social Impact and DEI Initiatives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>InStride is committed to driving positive social impact through education. The company\u2019s solutions are designed to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace by providing equitable access to learning opportunities and fostering a culture of continuous growth and development. InStride\u2019s focus on DEI aligns with the growing recognition that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for innovation, productivity, and overall business success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Addressing Critical Business Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By providing a personalized, accessible, and impactful learning experience, InStride helps employers address critical challenges such as skill gaps, talent shortages, and employee engagement. The company\u2019s solutions are designed to meet the evolving needs of the modern workforce, preparing employees for the jobs of the future and ensuring that organizations have the skilled talent they need to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Proven Results and Continued Innovation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>InStride\u2019s impact is evident in the results achieved by its partners. Organizations that have implemented InStride\u2019s workforce education solutions have seen significant improvements in employee retention, engagement and performance.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a company in the healthcare industry has 600+ participants, with the majority being entry-level frontline workers. Retention rates for participants have been three times higher than non-participants, with the biggest impact being in hard-to-fill critical roles the organization targeted. 80% of participants surveyed after the first year of the program said they had an increased desire to grow at the company.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instride.com\/strategic-approach\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">InStride\u2019s<\/a> programs have helped organizations attract and retain top talent, particularly among underrepresented groups.
