Having tripled its employee count in less than three years, Matillion – The Data Productivity Cloud – has gone from strength to strength, demonstrating its commitment to fostering the world\u2019s best talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matillion realized it needed to scale its Talent Development resources in line with its rapid growth<\/strong>. Using Udemy Business, Matillion\u2019s Talent Development team has developed a portfolio of employee development resources \u2014 including custom Learning Paths \u2014 helping drive continual career development and safeguarding the company\u2019s core guiding principles<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Matillion is the brainchild of two intrepid entrepreneurs \u2014 Matthew Scullion and Ed Thompson \u2014 who began writing their platform\u2019s code and the company\u2019s values simultaneously on day one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s these values \u2014 confidence without arrogance, integrity, customer obsession, innovation, bias for action, and care for people and communities \u2014 that continue to be the blueprint for how Matillioners conduct themselves in everything they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But as Director of Talent Development, John Nardone, explains, there was a point where Matillion suffered from its own success: \u201cThree years ago, we employed around 200 people. That\u2019s since risen to more than 700. But even before this huge headcount rise, we were very aware that we had to continually improve our Talent Development offering to stay ahead of our competition. As a values-based business, losing sight of our guiding principles was non-negotiable.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Part of Matillion\u2019s scalability problem was the need to onboard new employee cohorts each week across as many as ten time zones<\/strong> \u2014 all without sacrificing consistency, quality and engagement. What\u2019s more, Matillion also wanted to nurture the right home-grown talent for its leadership positions based on pre-defined, structured pathways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As the company\u2019s list of ambitions grew ever longer, Matillion realized the need for an online learning platform that could offer a wide range of courses<\/strong>, covering everything from technical certifications to mindfulness techniques, which would allow people to learn at their own pace in an asynchronous way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With countless nuanced roles at Matillion, the company needed to find an online learning solution that could match the same breadth of skills necessary for growing operations. Selecting Udemy Business for its 6,000+ courses and Learning Paths capabilities, the company\u2019s Talent Development team got to work creating custom learning paths for its people. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matillion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"templates\/full-width.php","resource_type":[7],"class_list":["post-16843","customers","type-customers","status-publish","hentry","resource_type-case-study","post","without-featured-image"],"acf":{"customer_description":"Matillion helps teams get data business-ready, faster \u2014 accelerating time-to-value and increasing the impact data can have.

Selecting Udemy Business for its 6,000+ courses and Learning Paths capabilities, the company\u2019s Talent Development team got to work creating custom learning paths for its people.<\/p>\n It\u2019s these learning paths that help to ensure structured, targeted learning across the business. Using Learning Paths, Matillion\u2019s Talent Development team can now create custom course programs based on individual roles or team goals.<\/p>\n Seamless and consistent onboarding with the company\u2019s roots at its heart<\/strong><\/p>\n With each new fortnightly hire intake averaging around 25 people globally, Matillion\u2019s Employee Enablement Manager, Jordan Newbrook, explains the thought process behind the company\u2019s new Onboarding Academy: \u201cOur CEO wanted a close connection with each new employee, but with so many people entering our ranks, holding weekly onehour sessions with people across multiple time zones soon became unsustainable. That\u2019s when we came up with our Onboarding Academy.\u201d<\/p>\n Issued with a timetabled program of courses and learning material across their first week on the job, each new starter now benefits from comprehensive onboarding with everything in one place. This means new hires don\u2019t waste time searching for resources across different systems \u2014 a critical lifeline for those anxious to hit the ground running on day one.<\/p>\n \u201cOur onboarding program is about helping new people learn the business in a way that protects and fosters our core values,\u201d says Jordan. \u201cOf the several hundred people who\u2019ve completed it so far, 98% are still with the company. Udemy Business has revolutionized our onboarding experience. There\u2019s no way we could have created our Onboarding Academy without the platform \u2014 it underpins everything.\u201d<\/p>\n Leaders\u2019 proving their mettle before stepping up<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to onboarding, rapid growth also poses a problem for leadership. With new teams being created all the time, Matillion has found a way to develop its next generation of leaders before they enter managerial roles.<\/p>\n Its People Leader Academy is designed not only to nurture future leaders\u2019 broad skills but also to help them understand administrative aspects of the job \u2014 such as processing holiday requests and collaborating with the People Operations team.<\/p>\n By using learning paths specific to leadership skills, Matillion has removed the uncertainty many future leaders face around what to prioritize. Rather, the company now offers a custom program of courses designed to create maximum impact on leaders and their teams.<\/p>\n \u201cEach year, we map our talent to identify our future leaders,\u201d says John. \u201cWe then put them into our People Leader Academy to ensure they\u2019re prepared for the reality of heading a team. Everything we do is about attracting and retaining the world\u2019s best talent \u2014 nurturing upcoming leaders is no different.\u201d<\/p>\n Fostering a progressive workplace with soft skills and wellbeing resources<\/strong><\/p>\n For a company with a globally-spread workforce, focusing on soft skills is of vital importance. From cultural awareness to interpersonal skills, the company now benefits from a wide range of handpicked courses designed to help bridge any gaps and maintain consistency across its operations. Jordan has even gone one step further. Conscious of the mental strain remote working and long hours can take on the workforce; he\u2019s set up a mental wellbeing program in Udemy Business. It uses the platform\u2019s third-party integrations to offer complete mental health support to anyone who needs it.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re putting the spotlight on mental health at Matillion,\u201d explains Jordan. \u201cBy building a mental health awareness Learning Path in Udemy Business, we can not only link to our own content but also integrate features from additional resources we offer, Headspace and Blinkist.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFrom where we started to where we are now is like night and day,\u201d says John. \u201cWhereas previously we would have told people to go and search for a course, everything is now pathway led.
