There's no other scalable way to deliver learning in the flow of work, in the moments employees need it. LinkedIn Learning Career Hub made it possible.
Jessalyn Klein, Head of Talent Management at Workato
THE CHALLENGE
Company growth outpaced career clarity
Workato scaled from 250 to 1,000 employees in just five years, and today they serve more than 50% of the Fortune 500. But the hardest part wasn't business growth — it was helping career clarity keep pace.
Years of engagement surveys, manager feedback, and one-on-one conversations told the same story: employees wanted direction, and managers wanted the tools to help them get there.
THE SOLUTION
Real-time skills intelligence with LinkedIn Learning Career Hub
Workato CEO Vijay Tella led a company-wide push for every employee to spend 5% of their time upskilling — about 2 hours per week, 2.5 workweeks each year.
To bring that vision to life, Workato embedded LinkedIn Learning directly into onboarding, so new hires start their learning journey with a personalized plan from day one. They also connected learning to the performance review cycle, giving employees a clear path to translate growth goals from manager conversations into tailored career plans within the LinkedIn Learning platform.
Workato chose LinkedIn Learning Career Hub for:
High-quality and relevant AI, tech and leadership & management upskilling content.
Housing both their talent architecture and employees’ upskilling experiences in one place.
Real-time skills intelligence from LinkedIn’s 1 billion+ member network.
THE RESULTS
Personalized career development for 1000+ roles
Workato’s deciding factor was not just the quality and relevance of upskilling content — it was the ability to house their talent architecture and their employees' learning experience in the same place, updated by real-time skills intelligence from LinkedIn's 1 billion+ member network.
Tailored skill building
Workato's new talent architecture and internal MCP let employees ask what skills they need for a specific role and get personalized career development in seconds.
Clearer career paths, more confident managers
Less than a year in, employees are already more actively researching internal roles and setting development goals aligned with Workato’s business.
More productive one-on-ones
Managers and employees enter career conversations more prepared, with a shared vocabulary for growth that didn't exist before.
