  • 3 Min Read

D2L has been changing the way the world learns for over two decades. With D2L for Business, we provide organizations with a comprehensive learning solution designed to maximize ROI and close critical skills gaps, helping you compete and win in your market. 

Why Did We Create D2L for Business? 

Upskilling and continuous employee training is a top priority for many businesses, but the solutions currently available don’t always meet the mark. Employees are often frustrated with their learning experiences and struggle to get the right upskilling. Our research shows that although 83% of employees recognize that ongoing skill development can help them be more successful in their roles and careers, only half have completed training outside of work in the past five years. 

That’s why we set out to create a solution. Our mission is to transform the way the world learns, after all. With D2L for Business, we want to help businesses like yours be part of that change and deliver learning experiences that make a difference for your organization and its employees. Whether you want to help people improve their productivity or be more engaged at work, D2L for Business gives your organization the flexibility it needs to take on your most pressing talent transformation goals. We support lifelong learning by helping businesses provide high-impact learning to accelerate career development and upskill and reskill employees.  

With D2L for Business, we’re helping to provide organizations with a better way to leverage one of the best strengths they have—their people.  

D2L for Business aims to help organizations address their most pressing human capital and talent challenges through high-impact learning. In fact, by 2027, 44% of workers’ skills will be disrupted, leaving companies at risk of falling behind if they don’t prioritize employee development. Compounding this issue, 90% of organizations are concerned about employee retention, as losing valuable team members can significantly impact productivity and culture. The cost of replacing an employee can range from 20-30% of their annual salary, whereas reskilling costs less than 10%, making upskilling a more efficient and sustainable solution.
