tessello is built around the logic of the 70:20:10 model - an existing and respected learning framework:

• 10% of learning comes from formal courses

• 20% of learning comes from learning from peers

• 70% of learning comes from experiential learning, on the job training and just living day to day

What does this look like?

Demo

Give learners control of their own learning: access to what they need to do, plus what they may want to do

Core training plus additional resources

Enable learners to draw their own external, informal learning into the system

Give time for reflection on informal learning

Enable that learning to be shared and discussed with other learners

Enable benchmarking of formal and informal learning against tasks and learning objectives

Enable coaching and motivation for learners, from their peers and line managers

Enable this to happen anytime, anywhere. Quickly, easily.

Why does this matter?

• Improve productivity• Reduce cost of training and staff

turnover• Create value

Many organisations are already embracing this combination of formal and informal learning

Graduate Onboarding

Opportunity for more effective onboarding

86% of organisations agree it takes six months for a new employee to decide to stay with the company. But only 39% of orgs have an onboarding programme that lasts more than six months.
