Houtan Fanisalek and I started OneRange after a shared frustration with a lack of upskilling opportunities when we were employed by large organizations early in our careers. The administrative processes and delayed reimbursement for external programs were so burdensome that they deterred most employees from exploring opportunities. When we spoke to executives and people leaders, we discovered the real problem was much bigger: 🤝 Misalignment among companies, employees, and high-quality learning vendors 🏚️ Outdated learning management systems that haven’t innovated in 20 years 📉 Even with $360B spent on L&D annually, employees still look outside their organizations for skill development Here’s the simple question: If companies are spending billions on employee development, shouldn’t the experience actually empower employees to learn and grow—rather than push them away? Seeing that gap, we took action. OneRange is building a truly engaging, modern skills development platform that helps align everyone’s goals—from the CEO to the new hire—and makes professional growth exciting for everyone. #employeedrivenupskilling #learninganddevelopment #corporatelearning #leadership
