Why Stories?

Many large organizations struggle to align their workforce skills and taxonomies across multiple HR technologies. This makes it difficult for employees to understand their strengths, identify any skills gaps, and stay engaged in their career path. For leaders, disparate systems prevent them from making proactive, data-driven decisions to develop talent. Misalignment across multiple systems also means companies can’t communicate with a unified language across their organization.

Stories solves these problems by integrating with your existing learning and talent development solutions to provide a single employee experience, as well as organizational talent insights. Once connected, Stories ensures that all content and activities are mapped to a single, unified skills framework. Activities completed across any connected system are automatically surfaced and made available to individuals as part of their personalized development story. With a built-in AI coach, quizzes, and gamification - it engages employees to continually grow and expand their knowledge.

Stories exists to solve the following challenges:

• Enable workforce transformation through connected and consistent cross-platform skill alignment and insights.
• Enhance teams and productivity through personalized and focused employee development, shaped by organizational needs but tailored to each individual.
• Improve the execution of your organizational strategy through deep insights into the skills makeup of your business. Discover where there might be gaps at the individual, team, department, or organizational level.
• Improve organizational agility and drive targeted proficiency growth with skill and proficiency mapping, and the ability to track across the workforce.
• Limit course catalog overload by reducing the time associated with searching or navigating multiple learning platforms.
• Enable cross-platform talent intelligence through not only connectivity and visibility, but also by embracing choice. With Stories, organizations can choose the best talent development technologies for their business while looking at the “big picture” for their needs.
• Reduce hiring and training costs by reskilling your existing workforce. Minimize employee churn and target hiring based on strategic organizational skill gaps.

With our initial launch, you can expect the following from Stories:

• Seamless integration with your existing learning development solutions (e.g. HRIS, LMS, third-party content libraries, and organizational content) to deliver a unified experience.
• Unified skill profiling and personalized discovery, allowing you to map connected content and employee profiles to a common skill and proficiency framework. This framework will then enable AI-driven content discovery and recommendations based on an employee’s individual skill profile and interests.
• A modern configurable experience that supports custom branding, layouts, and the development of custom experiences based on your organizational needs. 
• Unified insights on employees’ skills at the organizational, team, department, and individual levels across all connected content and activity sources.
• Motivation and recognition for employees through gamified experiences to drive engagement and encourage workers to invest their time in continuous learning.
• Practice experiences to test your employees’ knowledge retention. AI-generated quizzes are delivered to workers as a set of informal practice experiences based on the connected content and skills in their individual profiles.
