What It's Like to Work at Skillsoft

I have been with Skillsoft since April 2019 and can honestly say this was an excellent career move for me. As the leader in corporate learning, it is refreshing to have so much content at our disposal. Learning is extremely important to me!

Skillsoft embraces input and feedback at all levels. I’ve found that if you have an idea, there are receptive ears at all levels of the organization who will listen, and work with you to make it happen.

It's a great feeling to watch the work I am doing come to life. Skillsoft gives back to employees in so many ways and by doing so, I can spend time focusing on myself, establishing a sense of security and having fun with coworkers.

It really varies...we've celebrated the Superbowl, Red Sox Opening Day, National Chocolate Chip Day and Employee Apreciation Day to name just a few. We also have lots of contests such as Halloween Costumes & Ugly Holiday Sweaters. Of course, there is our big Summer Outing (with unlimited Kimball Farm ice cream:)) and our Annual Holiday Party!!

The short answer is: transparently and often! UX at Skillsoft is part of the Product organization and as such is perfectly and uniquely positioned to facilitate converging efforts and conversations. We help connect different points of interest and intelligence that all need to be on the same page on every project and exploration.

As a leader, it is crucial to listen and take time to understand the real challenges. While the problem may be framed as generic, I do believe the solutions need to be considered at a more individual or group level. Different women need different types of support to succeed — it's not a one-solution-fits-all.
