HP Inc. (HP) is in the process of reinventing itself - inside and out. In that spirit, it has entirely transformed the way employees develop, connect and learn.

Using a crowdsourced model to identify the “state of learning” at HP, its Talent & Learning team identified what was working, what was broken and what was missing in the current approach to learning. Key themes quickly emerged and shaped what needed to be redefined across the company and in every global region.

Employees wanted to more easily search for content. They wanted to quickly access content that was rich, endorsed by HP employees and relevant. They also wanted to be able to share their own content and connect with each other more organically.

The HP Talent & Learning team partnered with stakeholders across the business to build an employee-centric platform rich with content, sourced by employees and business teams, and even named by focus groups in the organization. This gave life to HP’s “Brain Candy,” its uniquely branded and curated learning platform.

Brain Candy was rolled out through a global campaign and quickly grew to more than 15,000 active users worldwide in only the first two weeks, out of its 50,000 employees. HP Inc. continues to leverage business-specific strategies to build and launch content while receiving incredibly positive feedback across all regions and levels.

Still early in the journey, the Talent & Learning team is harnessing Brain Candy to build blended learning experiences that include learning content and face-to-face experiences across the globe.
