Our take
The widespread shift from offices to remote working has had a significant impact on the ability of employers to train their staff. Whilst digital e-learning partly provides solutions to this problem, existing platforms are often generalized for large-scale workforce training and can be unengaging or antiquated.
WorkRamp provides a digital platform that enables companies to develop training materials that are engaging, personalized and modular. The learning management system is focused on using employee data to tailor micro-training experiences based on job roles, outputting data insights upon training completion to measure the engagement levels and identify areas for improvement.
Whilst other LMS provide systems for organizations to build learning materials, WorkRamp's approach to incorporating data and personalization into the development tools shows promise at facilitating the additional engagement required in the current remote work landscape. WorkRamp faces competition from rival providers, including Learnsoft and LearnUpon, but has surpassed both in regards to funding, the 2022 round of which will be used to expand its team and customer success programs.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at WorkRamp
Brittany Gleitsman (Director of Global Talent Strategy & Culture)
- WorkRamp empowers every professional to reach their full potential through learning. WorkRamp is a people-driven company with the belief that businesses should build lasting products and lasting careers. We want to work with team-oriented people who jump head-first into a challenge and always maintain a high bar for excellence. We’re building a team that believes in our vision and are excited to create a diverse, inclusive, and high-performing culture at WorkRamp
- We know that the investment in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) makes business sense, but we think it should make people sense first. To make any meaningful change, we acknowledge that systemic and structural oppression has contributed to the inequitable power and privilege dynamics present in our workplace today. We can’t truly move forward without actively fighting against these institutionalized injustices
- At WorkRamp, we pride ourselves on being the leaders in learning. This doesn’t just apply to our business acumen; this is our philosophy for how we can help and better support our employees and the communities around us. There may and likely will never be an “endpoint'' when it comes to our diversity, equity and inclusivity work. However, this only empowers us to commit to learning and trying every day
- We believe in the power of community. At WorkRamp, we support Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. Our ERGs exist to organize our collective voice within the company and to honor and recognize the achievements of our employees. Our current ERGs are WorkRamp Mental Health Awareness and Support, Womxn of WorkRamp, WorkRamp Asian American/Pacific Islander, WorkRamp Afro-xxx/African-American/Black, and WorkRamp LGBTQIA+
- WorkRamp is a people-first organization. We are committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. We know that the only way to empower every professional to reach their fullest potential truly is to make sure everyone feels safe, valued, heard, and ultimately has an equitable opportunity to succeed. We will always work to make WorkRamp a place where every and all employees belong
- We believe in empowering the communities around us and supporting equitable access to learning and education. This is why we’ve partnered with Cristo Rey De La Salle East Bay High School to mentor and support their students. We also provide the WorkRamp technology, learning expertise, and funding to help scale the impact of nonprofit organizations. We pledge to make learning accessible for everyone
