Market diversity - but selected: How e-learning aggregation makes the difference

The challenge: continuing education in a dynamic world

Learning & Development teams are facing increasing challenges in the provision of knowledge and further training: Social, political and technological change require employees to continuously expand their knowledge and skills. The digital transformation is permanently changing business models and markets - and accelerating the pace in the business world. The pressure to innovate is also growing due to strong competition from abroad. In 2024, Germany's ability to innovate was well behind other economies and ranked just twelfth out of 35 countries^.1

However, consistent further training is not a reality everywhere: a recent survey by McKinsey & ^Company2 shows that 44% - almost half - of employees in Germany did not take part in a single training course last year. This makes it clear that further training is still far from being established across the board - even though it is crucial for the future viability of companies.

At the same time, HR teams are faced with a fragmented training market: providers, platforms and license models are hardly comparable, content is often difficult to find and not always up-to-date. The result: high administrative costs, a lack of transparency and missed opportunities in skills development.

For many companies, it is clear that a strategic approach is needed to bundle training resources.

The Content Collection as a strategic solution

The Haufe Akademie offers with its Content Collection a well thought-out answer to these challenges. This proven offering has been further developed to meet the needs of modern companies.

What makes the Content Collection unique?

1. One contract - usable worldwide: one central access point for all employees.
2. Curated content: Selected topics from the courses offered by the Haufe Akademie and partners such as Bildungsinnovator and Eni.
3. Flexibility through add-ons: for example,"Microsoft 365" for specific skills development.
4. Seamless integration: Compatible with existing LXP LMS.
5. Data security guaranteed: Hosting within the EU according to GDPR standards.

Quality assurance guarantees the highest standards

In order to offer high-quality training content in the long term, we face a central challenge: every e-learning unit from our partners must not only meet our exacting standards in terms of content, but also in terms of design and didactics. For us, this means continuously and critically reviewing all learning modules - going beyond a one-off check. This is the only way we can guarantee that our offer really does meet the highest quality requirements and can be booked flexibly at any time according to individual needs.

Our training partners Bildungsinnovator and Eni complement the Content Collection with their expertise and know-how:

For HR managers: scalable training with a strategic focus

HR departments play a key role in developing modern learning strategies - but they are often under time pressure and have to work with limited resources.

The Content Collection provides HR managers with a central tool for managing their training strategy:

• Up-to-date and trend-related content promotes quick reactions to new market requirements.
• Low-threshold learning content such as e-learning courses increase motivation and acceptance among employees.
• Twelve key topics cover all important areas of in-company training - from leadership to digital tools and communication.

Make further training easily accessible - whenever it is needed!

For purchasing: efficiency, control and strategic partnership

Purchasing departments also benefit directly from this approach:

• Reduction of administrative complexity through provider bundling
• Cost transparency thanks to clearly defined contract structures and a scalable license model
• Legal certainty thanks to GDPR-compliant hosting in Europe

Instead of dozens of individual contracts, there is only one contact person with clearly defined conditions - ideal for international rollouts! This makes further training a predictable investment instead of a cost risk.

Conclusion: Rethinking continuing education - strategically implemented

The Content Collection is more than just an e-learning offering. It is a strategic tool for companies that see further training as an investment in the future. For HR, this means: more impact, less effort. For procurement: more control, less risk. For all employees: more learning, fewer hurdles.
