Questrade understands that creating outstanding client experiences starts with exceptional employee experiences. They continuously invest in their people and are always looking for ways to help them grow. Training is a critical component of this employee growth, which is why Questrade relies on Rise 360 to build engaging online courses for their workforce.
The Challenge
Questrade needed an efficient, scalable way to grow top talent
- Questrade wanted to deploy relevant, top quality courses on a variety of topics to grow and develop their employees. They also wanted to increase efficiency for their instructional design team and provide multiple authoring tools to meet a variety of training needs.
- They needed to create an innovative, on-demand library of content and resources that would allow employees the flexibility to take courses at any time and take charge of their development journey.
- They wanted to retain their high quality of established learning and development programs while adjusting to a rapidly changing training environment caused by hybrid work.
- Quickly creating engaging, relevant courses for on-demand employee self-enrollment was important to Questrade, as was meeting business demands to grow and develop employees and equip them with required skills through top-quality e-learning courses.
The Answer
With Rise 360, Questrade created a robust library of over 100 courses
When Questrade first subscribed to Articulate 360, they were excited to start using Rise 360 because of its fast, flexible authoring functionality. Once they began authoring in Rise 360, Questrade found ways to expand their course offering with available pre-built templates. More importantly, they started discussing the value add that the templates would have for their business and culture.
In 2020, the team began taking the real-content courses available through Rise 360 and editing them to support their brand guidelines. They uploaded the modules into their learning management system and created custom learning categories. When they introduced this new learning resource to the organization, there was a lot of positive feedback and self-enrollments increasing for a wide variety of topics. To date, the Questrade team has offered more than 100 courses to their organization with more than 7500 enrollments.
Additionally, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Questrade needed to shift its customer service training model. After discovering that converting classroom sessions to Zoom was not as effective, many courses were converted into Rise 360 modules that could be easily accessed on-demand. Questrade reports that by converting to online learning modules, they were able to maintain the quality of the classroom sessions.
Moreover, the trainers benefited from additional time, which they utilized to deliver customized development programs to employees who required special assistance. The online learning modules also brought about immense benefits for the learners, who could now participate in training sessions at their convenience and according to their preferred schedules.
