This month I took the course 'LGTBQI+ Movement: For an inclusive environment' from our new content partner isEazy.  This course was a deep dive into understanding the LGBTQI+ community and learning how to eliminate unconscious biases. Even as someone who is well-versed in this area, I found this course insightful and thought-provoking. I appreciated their approach to this topic and would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about how to build an inclusive environment in their organizations and communities.

As we head into Pride month, we have a great playlist for you all about  inclusion in the workplace – 'Recognize the Rainbow: LGBTQIA+ Awareness', which you can find on our 12 Months of Learning calendar.

We're proud to announce that Go1 has acquired mobile-first learning app Blinkist. 

Blinkist connects people with powerful ideas from leading authors and experts to broaden perspectives, gain knowledge, and spark understanding in all areas of their life, both personal and professional. Used by over 25 million people worldwide, Blinkist finds the most relevant, impactful books and podcasts and distills them down to their key ideas, which can be read or listened to in 15-minute explainers called Blinks. In addition to individual learners, over 1,500 organizations around the globe have already chosen Blinkist for Business to empower their teams at their point of need—anytime, anywhere. 

The acquisition of Blinkist is a major step to accelerate our vision of engaging a billion people with learning they love.  

Our goal is to provide organizations with access to high-quality, meaningful content, and we can now take this a step further by meeting learners where they are. For more than 40 percent of online corporate learners, that's on their cell phone – and this is where Blinkist excels.  

By joining forces, Go1 and Blinkist are disrupting the corporate learning landscape to create the first offering that serves the whole learner. Now there is a new model that allows a user to jump in at any depth – a sound bite, a 15-minute summary or a full course – on any device, and at any time or location. 

It's an approach that actively influences more learners to engage with more content, enabling our customers to achieve their learning goals and recognize genuine business impact.
