Use Case

Enterprises need continuous, personalized development that keeps pace with modern work. BetterUp addresses slow, generic, disconnected learning by embedding human + AI coaching into daily workflows to build leadership, manager effectiveness, resilience/readiness, and company-wide growth — all aligned to evolving business strategy and measured against outcomes like retention, engagement, strategic alignment, and performance uplift. Common use cases include large-scale leadership development, manager upskilling, sales performance enablement, change resilience, and executive coaching, with alignment to internal competency frameworks and KPIs.

Enable organizations to scale personalized coaching and development across the workforce by combining world-class human coaching with AI-driven insights. Primary use cases include: identifying which employees would benefit most from coaching; surfacing strengths and growth areas to target development resources; guiding employees through tailored learning and coaching journeys; matching employees to an optimal coach; providing real-time feedback and insights that adapt to each individual; and augmenting coaches with automation (e.g., timely nudges, follow-up summaries) to increase engagement and impact. The aim is to drive measurable improvements in productivity, leadership, manager effectiveness, resilience/readiness, and reduce turnover and burnout in large enterprises.

Enterprise-wide solution to proactively build workforce resilience, well-being, and agility so employees can perform at their best through change. Addresses burnout, attrition, and change fatigue by pairing individuals with 1:1 coaches and specialists, delivering short live workshops, and guiding personal growth with science-backed plans. Provides people analytics and outcome studies to demonstrate business impact (productivity lift, improved readiness, lower voluntary attrition) and inform leadership decisions.
