HR leaders are responsible for some of the most important moments in an employee's experience. Getting new hires up to speed. Preparing managers to lead. Helping employees build new skills as their roles evolve.
When training falls short, those challenges become harder to solve.
HR needs learning that works across different roles, locations, and career stages, while supporting the business outcomes that matter most: stronger performance, employee retention, and workforce readiness.
Here are five things your HR team should know when evaluating OpenSesame.
For a broader look at what matters across departments, explore the Stakeholder Guide to OpenSesame.
1. More learning isn’t the goal. Relevant learning is.
Employees have limited time and attention.
OpenSesame provides learning that’s practical, accessible, and scalable across teams and regions, including onboarding, manager development, compliance, role-based learning, leadership development, and future-focused skills.
The goal isn’t just more learning. It’s finding learning people actually use.
2. One workforce includes many different learners
A frontline employee, a new manager, and a remote team member may all need training, but their experiences look very different.
OpenSesame helps HR teams reach employees across roles, regions, and work environments with training in more than 70 languages, multiple learning formats, and delivery through the systems employees already use.
That flexibility helps organizations deliver more consistent training experiences without expecting every employee to learn the same way.
3. The right training supports HR's biggest priorities
From onboarding new hires to developing stronger managers, HR teams are responsible for helping employees succeed at every stage of their careers.
OpenSesame brings together training for onboarding, leadership, communication, technical skills, and workforce development, giving HR teams a trusted source for the skills employees need throughout their careers.
And as roles change, that same breadth of training helps organizations prepare employees for new responsibilities without starting from scratch.
4. Managers need visibility too
Learner engagement matters, but managers also need enough visibility to support their teams.
OpenSesame integrates with major LMS platforms, helping organizations deliver and track training through their existing systems. Depending on the LMS and its configuration, managers can use available reporting to monitor completions and identify where employees may need additional support.
That helps connect learning to the everyday work of developing people.
5. Development can show up in workforce outcomes
National Vision offers one example.
The company reported reducing employee turnover from 30% to 22% after offering a personalized leadership development program to new store managers.
"Our OpenSesame representative understands our goals and our culture and makes recommendations for publishers and individual courses that meet our objectives and fit our style."
--- Marc Strickland, Director of People Development, National Vision
The lesson isn’t that one learning program produces the same result everywhere. It’s that learning becomes more valuable when it is tied to a workforce challenge the company is actually trying to solve.
The bottom line
Strong employee experiences depend on people having the skills and support to succeed at work. From onboarding and manager development to preparing employees for changing roles, the right training helps HR address today's workforce needs while building readiness for what's next.
OpenSesame brings trusted training, broad skills coverage, and expert guidance together to help HR teams support their people with confidence.
