The challengeWith 5Mins

Costs capped who could learnLearning for everyone at a lower cost

Training licenses only covered half of AZA Finance's employees, the People team was overwhelmed with curation, and managers could not see what their teams were learning.With 5Mins, AZA Finance licensed every employee, cut its budget by about 30% and gave managers full visibility of their teams' learning.

  • Budget

    Licenses for half the team

    High costs meant training licenses reached only half of employees.

  • People team

    Curation done by hand

    Curating personalized learning content overwhelmed the People team.

  • Reporting

    No view of progress

    Past platforms lacked analytics, so managers could not see their teams' learning.

  • Engagement

    Low participation

    Participation sat at 30-40%, and was low among senior and middle managers.

"Even when we did surveys, coordinating those surveys and putting it together was taking up more time than was available."

Premo Ojokojo, Chief People Officer, AZA Finance

"Managers now have full visibility and can, by themselves, curate and see how the teams are doing in their learning - a big win for us."

Premo Ojokojo, Chief People Officer, AZA Finance

"And then the return on investment - it's limitless. When you have an increase in participation, you have improvement in performance, you have less time spent not only by my team but even by the managers because you can, at a glance, see who and what people are doing."
