The challenge: great learning for a workforce nobody can fit in one room

Mitie's people are spread across sites, services and specialisms. Getting good learning to all of them, in a way that feels consistent, is a big ask for any L&D team.

Mitie wanted its own L&D professionals and HR Business Partners to be the facilitators. They knew the business and they were already trusted. What they needed from us was help curating content and ready to use facilitator resources, so they weren't building every session from scratch.

What we built: learning in a flatpack

We created "flatpack" learning bundles. Everything a facilitator needs comes in the box, ready to assemble and run.

  • Bundles for proactive needs (building skills before they're needed) and reactive ones (responding when something comes up)
  • A focus on management fundamentals
  • Our prime, learn, embed approach built into every bundle, so learning doesn't stop when the session does
  • 90 minute sessions, each built around a clear outcome

How we got facilitators confident

A bundle is only as good as the person running it. So we gave Mitie's facilitators a four step Train the Trainer programme and a facilitator guide, so every session is delivered with the same quality, whoever is in the room.

What Mitie told us

"This is the best training I've ever delivered within Mitie."
"These sessions are landing really well in our business."

Why ready to run learning works

When your own people deliver the learning, it lands with credibility, costs less to repeat and can reach far more people. When the content and the facilitator guide are ready, they can spend their energy on the room instead of the slides. That is how a small L&D team reaches an 80,000 person workforce.

Want learning your own people can run?

If you need to get consistent learning to a lot of people without a lot of extra headcount, we'll design the bundles and train your facilitators.
