Problem

Almost every organization recognizes how important continuous learning is to workforce competitiveness, but the tools most companies currently use, known as Learning Management Systems (LMS), have really fallen short. The trouble is that LMS’s are designed to be top-down, manager-driven tools. This type of system works great for delivering compliance courses to employees, but does nothing to foster and inspire the kind of learning that actually impacts employee performance.

Solution

Pathgather is a social learning platform for companies that is fundamentally driven by employees. Employees are able to share learning resources with their peers, discover and connect with experts in their company, and get recognized for improving their skills.
