training days saved across the first-time manager cohort

  • 13 first-time managers trained
  • 1 hour a fortnight, instead of half-day sessions

Getting every manager into a three-hour session was near impossible, so we flipped it: bite-sized lessons first, then one hour together every two weeks. Our managers now bring me solutions, not problems.

shorter program, from 5 months to under 3

  • 4.4/5 program rating from participants
  • 2 weeks between modules, instead of a month

5Mins was the missing piece in our global HR program. Releasing a module every two weeks instead of every month cut the program from five months to just under three, without losing quality.
