Learning and development (L&D) plays a crucial role in keeping employees engaged and continuously growing. Epoch is here to help organizations make the most of their L&D efforts.

Whether it’s managing complex event logistics or fostering a culture of continuous learning, Epoch has been a valuable tool for our customers including Toast, Braze, Asana, and Udemy. As a scalable tool, Epoch can cater to events for groups of any size and seamlessly integrates with tools like Slack, HRIS, Google Calendar, and more.

Here’s how Epoch has enhanced L&D across these diverse organizations.

Streamlining global learning at Udemy

Udemy is an online learning and teaching marketplace with over 213,000 courses and 62 million students. Their “24 Hours of Learning” event features learning events across Udemy's global locations, spanning a full day with multiple events every hour. It is a testament to the power of Epoch in managing large-scale, global learning initiatives.

Epoch helps Udemy accommodate different time zones, ensuring seamless participation in their round-the-clock learning sessions. We also supported the Benefits and Onboarding teams by streamlining event promotions and touchpoints, creating a supportive and engaging environment for both new hires and existing employees.

Empowering self-organized learning at Braze

Braze is a leading customer engagement platform that allows any marketer to collect and take action on any amount of data from any source, so they can creatively engage with customers in real time, across channels from one platform. 

They are a prime example of how giving employees the tools to organize events can spark a culture of learning. By using Epoch, Braze employees have the autonomy to create and host their own ERG and L&D events. This freedom has helped foster a dynamic learning culture where employees engage with content that resonates with them. Epoch’s ability to streamline the logistics of these events means employees can focus on the content rather than the coordination. Post-event feedback forms via Slack have been a major tool for collecting and comparing data, enabling Braze to improve events based on employee input.

Fostering global connectivity at Toast

Toast connects employees, operations, and guests on a reliable, easy-to-use platform so restaurateurs can stay one step ahead of a rapidly evolving hospitality market.

Epoch has transformed how Toast handles its global L&D initiatives. With a central hub for all event and programming information, employees can easily find and join learning opportunities, whether they’re fun socials or career development sessions. This centralization has not only enhanced connectivity among Toast’s global teams but has also sparked collaboration and innovation. We have made it easier for Toast employees to connect, share ideas, and turn those ideas into actionable projects, enriching their learning experiences.

Data-driven learning programs at Asana

Asana is a task management software that has features like projects, workspaces, tasks, and sections to manage projects so teams spend less time writing emails, meetings, and working on the assigned tasks. 

At Asana, Epoch’s impact was felt almost immediately. Employees quickly embraced Epoch for organizing team events and ERGs, demonstrating its value across various functions. The platform’s ability to provide detailed reports and analytics has empowered Asana to make data-driven decisions about their L&D programs. By understanding what’s working and where to invest more resources, Asana can better tailor their initiatives to what engages employees most, ensuring impactful and efficient learning experiences.

Epoch has proven to be a game-changer in supporting L&D efforts across various organizations. By simplifying event management, enhancing connectivity, and providing valuable insights, Epoch helps companies like Braze, Toast, Asana, and Udemy create impactful learning experiences. It’s all about meeting employees where they are and making learning and development a seamless part of their employee experience.
