Motimate

It was June 1969, and a police raid at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighbourhood of New York was about to change everything.

The raid sparked protests from members of the gay and le***an community in the neighbourhood, and soon the uprisings spread across the USA.

The community’s demands were simple: to be allowed to live freely and openly, without fear of being harassed or arrested on account of their sexuality.

Their actions would prove to be groundbreaking.

A year later, the first Pride marches were held in cities on both sides of the United States – a tradition that continues to this day, and one that we now celebrate throughout June as Pride Month 🌈

To learn more about the history, significance, and impact of these events, our Creative Studio team has created a special, free-to-access Moti: https://bit.ly/3xpEHO3

Happy Pride Month from Motimate 🏳️‍🌈

Back in March, we were celebrating reaching 200 members in our MotiMakers community group 🎈👏

Some of you will remember we launched a competition to mark the occasion and, after a random draw, we can announce a winner.

So…

Huge congratulations to Turid Olsen and her team at Redd Barna (Save the Children Norway) 🎉 😁

Stine Sandbo Snekkenes from our Creative Studio team has already had her first meeting with Turid and her colleague Sarah – you can see a snap below – and are already working out how best to make use of the five hours of free creative consultancy our Creative Studio will be delivering.

The aim is to help Turid and her team improve their digital learning strategies, and we can’t wait to get started 🚀

Learning is something that we do all our lives, through every new experience and interaction with which we engage. An organization that recognizes this, and turns it into a core value, is on its way to becoming a learning organization - improving performance by focusing as much on developing its people as on meeting customer needs 🏆

Becoming A Learning Organization | Motimate In this blog, we share our top 5 digital learning tips to help you put learning at the centre of your organization.

Today we are welcoming business to business relocation firm, First Mover Group to the Motimate family! 📦🚚

First Mover Group is Scandinavia’s only full-service agency offering relocation services to businesses of all sizes within Norway. The company’s end-to-end service includes finding new office premises, managing the move, and making sure the old premises are vacated according to expectation and terms.

As you can imagine, such a service takes a lot of training, coordination and communication. Motimate enables its 350 employees within the company’s distributed and highly-mobile workforce to access training across multiple devices, no matter where they are.

Shelley Alexandra Dahl, HR Coordinator at First Mover Group says:

“By implementing Motimate, we look forward to using a digital learning tool that’s a lot more fun and engaging compared to traditional learning platforms.”

The entire team at Motimate is thrilled to welcome you on board 🚀
