What were the key challenges?
As Netflix’s influence in the entertainment industry grew, so did its need for robust internal tools and platforms to support its growing workforce. The challenge was not only to manage the rollout of these tools but also to ensure that employees globally could access and understand them effectively. Traditional methods of training, including videos, slide decks, and e-learning courses, while useful, lacked the personalized touch necessary for deeper learning and community building.
What approach worked?
Netflix’s adoption of PlusPlus marked a turning point in its approach to employee training and development. PlusPlus provided a comprehensive hub for workshops, office hours, and onboarding tracks, allowing for a more nuanced and efficient learning experience. The platform’s LMS (Learning Management System) features enabled Netflix to consolidate its learning resources, migrating from previous systems like Docebo back to a unified PlusPlus environment.
