November 7, 2025

At OpenSesame, we believe learning and development (L&D) are key drivers of innovation, growth, and employee engagement. But is your organization’s learning strategy delivering its full potential?

We’re excited to launch the OpenSesame L&D Progress Index Survey‍—an opportunity to evaluate and deepen your understanding of your L&D approach. This straightforward tool provides an instant snapshot of where your organization stands on its learning journey.

Why does L&D matter now more than ever?

The world of work is evolving rapidly. From digital fluency to stronger communication and leadership skills, today’s workforce needs a culture of continuous learning to stay ahead. In fact, 53% of HR managers report a skills gap within their teams. At OpenSesame, we’re here to close that gap—efficiently, affordably, and at scale.

Skills training that scales with your team

Whether focusing on technical skills, leadership development, or people skills, OpenSesame’s extensive course catalog covers all your needs. No extra vendors or complexity—just a complete solution to keep your team learning and thriving.

  • Beyond mandatory training: Provide a diverse range of learning opportunities across technical, compliance, and soft skills from one comprehensive platform.
  • An evolving catalog: Access the latest training in emerging fields like digital tools and leadership, with new courses added regularly.
  • Cost-effective certification prep: Prepare your team for industry certifications with OpenSesame’s affordable course offerings, keeping your budget on track.
  • Unlimited courses with OpenSesame Plus Complete: With full subscription access, you can meet every training need on demand, keeping your workforce agile and ready.

How the L&D Progress Index Survey benefits your organization

Are you ready to assess your organization’s learning journey? The OpenSesame L&D Progress Index Survey offers insights into how your current L&D strategy aligns with business goals. Identify areas for improvement and ensure your team has the right tools for growth.

After completing the survey, you’ll receive a personalized report showing where your organization ranks within our four levels of L&D maturity:

  • Arising: Early stages of formalizing a learning strategy.
  • Responsive: A strategy is in place, but may not be fully aligned with business goals.
  • Proactive: Learning integrates with business strategy, with employees actively managing their development.
  • Optimizing: L&D is fully embedded, driving innovation and a competitive edge.

Stay ahead of the curve

Building a culture of continuous learning isn’t just necessary—it’s a strategic advantage. With OpenSesame, you’re addressing current skill needs while equipping your team for future challenges. Our on-demand learning resources are accessible within the flow of work, allowing employees to upskill exactly when needed.
