Hive Learning and Kantar Win the 2024 HR Tech Awards For Best Advance in Practical AI

London, 2nd May 2024 — Hive Learning, in partnership with Kantar, has been awarded the 2024 HR Tech Awards for Talent Analytics: Best Advance in Practical AI. This award recognises their effective application of AI in enhancing management learning.

Kantar embarked on a strategic initiative to innovate its management skill programmes to better meet the evolving needs of its managers. The partnership with Hive Learning, which began in August 2023, was crucial in reshaping these programmes to focus on practical insights and real-world application.

The pilot launched for 400 Kantar managers was structured in six-week learning sprints that focused on essential leadership and team-building skills. The programme established a strong base for gradual development and supports Kantar’s goal to foster innovative management strategies worldwide.

Hive Learning leveraged its GenAI technology to expedite the development and rollout of the programme, enabling the content to be customised quickly to meet Kantar’s specific needs. This approach has shown excellent results, with feedback indicating notable improvements in management skills.

“Can you imagine having a personal coach for each employee, guiding them through fun and tailored learning experiences that are directly related to the company’s goals. By using this approach, employees feel empowered to grow their skills and knowledge, while companies benefit from a more engaged and skilled workforce. Hive Learning combines technology with human-centred design to empower employees, nurture continuous skill development, and drive impactful outcomes for both individuals and the company as a whole.”
