Saba Customers Raise the Bar on Personalized Learning

USA TODAY NETWORK and Yum! Brands showcase learner experience successes at CLO Symposium; new Saba enhancements build on personalization, productivity & impact

DUBLIN, CA, April 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Saba customers are embracing new and innovative approaches to learning personalization and achieving better learner outcomes and business impact. At the CLO Symposium Spring 2019 this week, two of Saba's marquee clients, USA TODAY NETWORK and Yum! Brands, will share their creative strategies and best practices in learner engagement and results, using Saba talent development solutions.

Personalized learning journeys deliver employee engagement

USA TODAY NETWORK provides an "asynchronous learning experience" with tailored content and custom learning paths for both new hires and existing employees, across more than 100 locations. The media leader's learning team first consolidated content from multiple systems and migrated them to Saba Cloud, so it could better track and measure the impact of its formal and informal learning programs. The team then co-created personalized learning journeys by collaborating with employees on development needs, providing learning coaches and customized learning paths. This process of personalization has yielded tremendous results; using Saba's robust reporting and analytics USA TODAY NETWORK has measured a more than 100% improvement in its learning engagement metrics.

Recognition and feedback unlock achievement

Yum! Brands (parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell) has created a modern learning experience for its associates across 45,000 locations in 170 countries. Dubbed "The Learning Zone," Yum's Saba Cloud deployment leverages interactive content, virtual collaboration, social workspaces, as well as gamification and badging, to engage its learners and create a stand-out employer brand for talent development. In operations where the Learning Zone is widely utilized, Yum! Brands' employee retention rates and restaurant hospitality scores have significantly improved and they've seen a much higher willingness to participate in their employee referral program.

"We're very proud of how customers like USA Today and Yum! Brands are using the breadth and depth of Saba's capabilities to create a self-driven employee experience that aligns to business priorities," said Saba CMO Theresa Damato. "We know that experience is important, and we also know that ultimately, outcomes matter. We continue to partner with our customers to showcase how these modern experiences are making a difference; whether that's improving individual performance and team achievement, or measuring the impact of talent programs on business success." 

Both Saba customers take the stage this week at the CLO Symposium:

• Craig Lutz of USA TODAY NETWORK will present his organization's approach to personalized learning journeys.
• Moumita Dutta will share how Yum! Brands is using gamification to unlock achievement for its associates worldwide.
