Hone Unveils All-in-One Employee Development Platform

SAN DIEGO (October 1, 2024)Hone, the leader in live skills development and leadership training, today announces expansions to its catalog of live online classes, new learning experiences, and platform enhancements. Hone’s employee development platform is the first of its kind, uniting the world’s largest library of live, interactive learning experiences with measurably effective employee development – all in one platform to help organizations upskill their entire team at scale.

Hone gives HR teams an unparalleled variety of options to customize employee development to their organization’s needs. The options include public Membership classes that connect employees with a global community of learners, private cohorts exclusively for an organization, and instructor-led learning experiences, like peer groups and group coaching, to grow and reinforce skills. 

“For years, the only way to upskill employees at scale was providing recordings and webinars that failed to actually engage learners and help them fully acquire skills,” says Tom Griffiths, CEO at Hone. “That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil the next evolution of Hone, the most interactive, engaging learning of its kind that helps every employee develop the skills that propel their success and your organization forward.”

The all-in-one platform expands beyond the live leadership training Hone has provided since 2018, bolstering its offerings across three areas:

Instructor-led Learning Experiences

Today, Hone is doubling down on its instructor-led learning experiences, unveiling three new offerings:

  • Peer groups connect employees with a community of learners to tackle business problems and level up in their careers.
  • DiSC personality assessments guide employees through an assessment and debrief to provide a new framework for understanding individual strengths and fostering collaboration.
  • Team development cohorts drive alignment and productivity within a team.

They join Hone’s array of learning experiences, including group coaching that helps employees solve specific workplace challenges and practice labs designed for reinforcing class content and honing skills.

New Live Online Classes

Hone continues to expand its catalog of science-backed, industry-leading live classes. Most recently, Hone introduced two series of classes covering project management and customer-facing skills in support of the launch of its newest content pillar, functional skills

Now, Hone’s library of live online classes covers the three pillars of essential skills for today’s rapidly-evolving workplace:

  • Leadership and manager skills that help all levels of leaders, from new managers to executives, lead high-performing teams.
  • Universal skills that accelerate every employee’s success, such as communication, collaboration, analytical thinking, and AI literacy.
  • Functional skills that elevate a team’s performance, like project management or customer-facing skills, complemented by peer networking groups for sharing best practices.

Platform Enhancements

At the heart of Hone’s offerings is its scalable platform that makes it easy for HR leaders to deliver effective employee development to their entire organization. The platform features an Impact Analysis that provides a comprehensive view into the ROI of learning across every Hone training program and class, from high-level company impacts to specific skill improvements. 

To improve discoverability across Hone’s vast selection of learning experiences, Hone is unveiling AI-Powered Learning Journeys that help employees find the right class at the right time. The journeys fuel continuous learning with smart recommendations based on inputs from performance reviews, development plans, and more. 

Hone also previewed a Manager Console today that fosters a culture of continuous improvement by giving managers the tools to nurture and oversee employee learning.

Additionally, for the first time ever, Hone is making it possible to integrate live online learning into the HR tech stack. Hone’s integrations span HRIS, LMS, and Business Intelligence platforms, providing a seamless experience that brings Hone’s live online learning and data into HR leaders’ and learners’ go-to platforms. 

Hone’s employee development platform is the most comprehensive solution for the development every employee needs to thrive in today’s workplace. The live learning catalog spans development designed for individual contributors, new managers, experienced managers, senior leaders, performance management, new hire onboarding, DEI, and much more.
