A 60 employee company based in Texas was interested in a monthly series of Electives with a mix of traditional and more unique classes.

Ultimately, they built an an amazing calendar, including:

A 250 employee company based in California had a specific need to train their new managers who lacked critical communication, negotiation and other management skills. They have a young, cool culture so their one-person HR team said the sessions can’t feel “corporatey” and her nightmare scenario was employees saying “Why did you MAKE me take that!” The Electives team prepared 18 different sessions for the company to select 6 classes. The company designed a terrific series:
A 40 person company that was already a remote-first workplace wanted to plan a monthly series of Electives, initially focused on improving their employee culture and employee focus during the pandemic. Their Operations leader narrowed down a list of 25 Electives and shared “This was so hard! They all sound good!” From there, she surveyed her employees by asking each person to rank their top 5 Electives from the list of 25. With those results, the Operations lead began designing with a goal of 10 Electives each year. She wanted to maintain the flexibility for employees to browse new Electives and provide their ongoing input. The employees’ favorite Electives included:
- Resiliency During a Pandemic
- Minor Leagues, Major Lessons
- The Science of Happiness
- Anti-Racism Workshop
- How To Manage Virtual Meetings
- Small Acts of Kindness: How a State of Flow can Change your Life
- Burnout and Self Care: What Employees Need to Feel Energized

- Black History is American History
- Anti-Racism Workshop
- How to be a Better Workplace Ally
- Building Equity & Inclusion Within Your Organization
