But that’s exactly what happened during the past 12 months since Rentokil Initial implemented FUSE, a social and collaborative learning management system. Learning has started to become embedded within the DNA of the organisation; L&D is being seen as a value-adding business partner and most importantly, employees are enjoying learning and collaborating. The impact internally has been so significant that we’ve now implemented an external customer facing version of our solution, making L&D an explicit profit centre to the business! Show less

In 2 years the CDC has revolutionised learning; launching a new learning platform and developing a huge amount of high quality engaging content. The CDC is even used as an example internally of best practice collaboration, so much so that the CEO tasked them with developing customer training, moving L&D to a profit driver for the business.
