AboutBally's
Bally's is a global, online gaming company operating across a number of locations. As their number of learners increased, the L&D team set out on a mission to let go of outdated learning processes and focus on delivering a modern, engaging learning experience for their workforce.
A partnership based on culture
As their number of learners increased, the L&D team at Bally’s set out on a mission to let go of outdated learning processes and focus on delivering a modern, engaging learning experience for their workforce. Previous learning technologies and training initiatives simply hadn’t achieved the levels of engagement that the team was hoping for – and eventually, their research led them to Thrive.
With a closely aligned mission to meet the needs of the modern learner, Thrive was the perfect partner to help Bally’s deliver a scalable, social and user-driven learning strategy.
Learner-led experiences
As part of their move to a more modern learning experience, Bally’s was keen to remove the top-down, manager-led approach to delivering learning. Instead, they wanted to give their learners the tools and permissions to share their own content with their peers. Within the first month following implementation, over 100 pieces of content had been uploaded and shared within the workforce.
As such a large organisation, successful onboarding at Bally’s is a crucial part of the overall employee experience. With Thrive in place, new hires were given access to all the information they needed, packaged up in a way that made it personalised and relevant to them. They were then able to explore the platform based on their own interests and aspirations.
Proving real ROI
Shortly after implementing Thrive, the team quickly saw an increase in levels of adoption and users exploring the platform, with learners attributing this to the intuitive user experience. Feedback from managers showed that new hires felt informed rather than overwhelmed, and the result was that they were up to speed and performing much quicker than previously.
It was important to Bally’s – a company with a lean L&D team and limited resources – to tangibly prove the business impact of Thrive. Having seamlessly become an extra member of the team, the learning platform has already proven its ROI: Bally’s has cut their average cost per learning hour in half after just two months.
