Yopa ramps up engagement, and hits 4,000+ views.

Time for change

With cutting edge technology at the core of Yopa's business, their outdated Moodle learning management system just wasn’t keeping up. They needed something new to help shift the way their business viewed learning and development.

Embedding social learning

With over 350 users, Yopa Property comprises a range of teams dispersed across the UK, including self employed, field-based local estate agents and two office locations for internal customer service and support function staff. They needed a way to drive engagement, bring scattered knowledge together and create a sense of community between teams, especially amongst their self-employed staff.  

Social learning was the answer, and Thrive was the learning platform to help them achieve it. Enabling and empowering a new way of learning, Thrive ensures knowledge is streamlined and shared amongst teams. Yopa’s Director of Learning and Development Angela Toghill commented:

‍

“Most of us are in a remote working environment and Thrive has given us the opportunity to collaborate, communicate and really build a sense of community here at Yopa.”

Simple and intuitive

To be confident their new learning platform would land with modern learners, Yopa knew it had to be easy to use. The user experience needed to be simple and intuitive so it wouldn’t only empower their people to consume useful content, but encourage them to share knowledge through their own user generated content. Angela Toghill commented:

“It’s simple, it’s intuitive and it reminds our users of the social channels they know and love.”

Launching YopaThrive

Following a smooth implementation, the brilliant L&D team at Yopa planned a jam-packed launch campaign to give Thrive the best start possible. The campaign kicked off at their annual ‘Small Change, Big Gains’ roadshow, where they introduced YopaThrive by branding brunch boxes and talking about the objectives for the new platform in a company wide digital event.

Achieving results from day one

Yopa ran challenges and competitions throughout their launch campaign, including finding hidden emojis amongst content and learner of the week. All of this activity resulted in a winning start to the launch of their new LMS, including an 80% engagement rate and 4,000+ content views in the first 2 weeks. That’s a 3,900% increase compared to Moodle, their previous LMS. It’s safe to say the team at Yopa are embracing social learning. Information is no longer siloed; it’s shared, celebrated and available for everyone to find wherever they’re working. We can’t wait to see what this inspirational company achieves next.
