Notch partnered with Foreword to rollout the self-serve Foreword Unlimited program to all employees. Check out what Christine Song, Chief People Officer at Notch, says about it.

Notch’s key reasons to invest in L&D

Creating a learning culture is important for fast growing startups

“We strive to create a great culture and L&D is a big part of that. As a fast paced startup, things move quickly and there’s a lot of ambiguity. Change is the only constant. You need to have employees that are able to learn, absorb, and have a growth mindset in order to keep evolving. And as an organization, it’s critical to support them and enable that.”

Establishing a strong and competitive employer brand

“It’s a strong talent market and talk of the great resignation is everywhere. It’s important for companies to invest in their L&D.”

Why Notch chose Foreword

Interactive sessions led by dynamic facilitators

“The facilitators have great backgrounds and I’ve found the entire experience very impressive. There’s something for everybody, but most important is the interactive learning. Watching videos on LinkedIn Learning is hard and it’s difficult to stay stimulated. Having a facilitator actually there is completely different - you get to ask questions, interact with others in the group. I’ve gotten a lot of positive reviews from employees on this too.”

Breadth of topics that resonate with employees

“I love the breadth of workshop topics available - they resonate with folks at all levels in our organization. I showed Foreword to executives and employees and they could all pick out workshops they’re interested in.”

Rich learning experience with peers

“I’ve really enjoyed taking sessions and seeing other Notch colleagues there as well along with employees from other companies.”

Learn on the go

“I really like how you can learn on the go and select workshops that you’re interested in based on your schedule.”

Easy to rollout and implement

“You’re so busy in People teams and you don’t have time to implement something around L&D, which is why I’m glad I found Foreword.”

What Notch learners say about Foreword workshops

Such a valuable session! Being able to physically write out our feelings and our thoughts, it builds awareness and makes you think about what you're doing now, where will that bring you, and where will your changes you implement today can positively impact you!

Great presentation, clear concise and thought provoking.

Great tools and skills taught today. Very relevant and appreciated.
