The getAbstract learning recommendations that were linked to our competency model made it easier for employees to understand and apply the associated skills and behaviors. Learning with getAbstract is very diversified and exciting.
E.ON is one of the world’s largest energy providers. It was founded in Essen, Germany in 2000 and has over 40,000 employees worldwide, managing extensive energy networks and infrastructure. Committed to a sustainable, connected future, E.ON champions innovation and excellence through continuous learning.
As part of its ambition to become a true learning organization, E.ON faced two key challenges:
To build a culture of continuous learning, E.ON set out to strengthen engagement through accessible, relevant content, curated for diverse roles, locations, and business rhythms.
“Continuous learning is part of the E.ON Learning Strategy,” says Anke Wygold, L&D Expert at E.ON. “getAbstract supports this learning strategy excellently by offering short reading impulses with quickly graspable content.”
For over 13 years, getAbstract and E.ON have worked together to incorporate continuous learning into E.ON’s corporate culture. This partnership has included:
Competency and Skill Mapping: getAbstract content was mapped to E.ON’s competency model, providing employees with targeted learning recommendations that are relevant to their roles and personal development. According to Anke, “The getAbstract learning recommendations that were linked to the competency model made it easier to understand and apply the associated skills and behaviors.”
Learning Weeks: E.ON celebrates regular Learning Weeks once in a year. This event features various learning sessions in different formats. Part of this are also customized calendars, curated learning resources, end-user webinars, and live contests. getAbstract’s content and tools played a key role in enhancing employee engagement during this initiative.
Themed Learning Campaigns: getAbstract supported E.ON’s initiatives such as International Women’s Day and World Book Day, ensuring employees had timely, relevant learning resources available. In December, getAbstract supported E.ON’s initiative to boost engagement through a light, emotional initiative using an Advent Calendar.
Mental Health Support: During October’s Mental Health Awareness Month, getAbstract worked with E.ON to provide curated content, newsletters, and promotional materials to raise awareness and provide practical support. Use of getAbstract showed a notable increase among employees after its implementation during Mental Health Awareness Month.
