Streamlining HR Training at AbbVie

Challenge:

AbbVie’s HR team struggled with a slow and resource-intensive onboarding process for new hires, primarily due to outdated internal training methods for Workday systems. This inefficiency delayed employee readiness and created bottlenecks during high-volume hiring periods.

Solution:

East Bay Learning Design developed an innovative approach to modernize AbbVie’s HR training:

Simulation-Based Learning: Designed interactive Workday simulations, allowing new hires to practice essential tasks in a risk-free environment.

Modular eLearning Design: Created bite-sized learning modules focusing on key HR processes, enabling self-paced and on-demand access for learners.

Scalability: Integrated the training into AbbVie’s LMS for easy distribution and tracking, ensuring scalability across global teams.

Outcome:

Reduced onboarding time by 25%, allowing new hires to begin contributing faster.
Increased knowledge retention, with simulation completion rates exceeding 90% and self-reported learner confidence ratings improving by 30%.

Freed up HR resources, enabling the team to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine training.
