Handbook To E-learning Case Study
Kinetic Transforms Employee Handbook into Engaging eLearning Experience
Trusted by Businesses Focused on People-First HR
Kinetic, a leading provider of comprehensive HR solutions, including benefits administration, HR consulting, and talent management, partnered with Kyteway to transform their static employee handbook (PDF version) into an interactive and engaging eLearning course. This initiative aimed to create a more accessible and user-friendly resource for their employees, improving onboarding, boosting employee engagement, and reinforcing Kinetic's commitment to a people-first culture.
The Challenge: Modernizing Employee Onboarding and Engagement
​​
Kinetic's existing employee handbook, while comprehensive, was a static PDF document. This format presented several challenges, hindering their ability to deliver a truly modern and engaging employee experience:
Limited Engagement
PDFs can be dry and difficult to navigate, leading to low employee engagement with important policy and benefits information.
Accessibility Issues
PDFs can be challenging to access on mobile devices and may not be fully accessible to all employees, limiting inclusivity.
Tracking and Reporting
There was no way to track employee completion or comprehension of the handbook content, making it difficult to measure effectiveness.
Updating and Distribution
Updating the PDF handbook and distributing it to all employees was a cumbersome and time-consuming process.
