As skills needs evolve, these recognitions validate our vision and strengthen our commitment to helping organizations embed smarter upskilling, reskilling, and continuous growth into the fabric of their business.”

Absorb’s leadership in innovation and customer value is reflected in recent enhancements and those still to come:

• Absorb’s AI-driven capabilities—developed through its dedicated AI Labs—are reshaping how organizations deliver personalized, scalable, and high-impact learning. With AI now the most-requested functionality and search traffic up 10x year-over-year, Absorb is meeting demand through tools like AI-powered search, intelligent assistants, content generation, skills mapping, personalization, and mentorship features.
• Absorb Skills delivers one of the most in-demand capabilities across the platform, reflecting customer urgency around upskilling. It combines AI-powered intelligence with customizable frameworks, integrated content, robust analytics, and strategic enablement to help organizations align learning with workforce needs and close skill gaps faster.
• Communities, a collaborative learning feature fostering engagement, peer interaction, and knowledge-sharing among users.
• An Enhanced Mobile Learning Experience, with a redesigned interface and offline functionality tailored to frontline and deskless employees.
• Integrated LMS and Mentorship, enabled by Absorb’s acquisition of the Together platform, combines structured learning paths with personalized mentoring to support holistic growth. Deeper LMS integration is planned later this year.
  
  

Complementing this is Absorb’s Strategic Learning Playbooks (SLPs)—expert-designed, step-by-step frameworks that help organizations successfully launch and scale programs. These playbooks offer expert guidance for use cases like upskilling, customer support training, and leadership development, with actionable strategies, virtual bootcamps, and best practices to drive measurable outcomes.

Building on these innovations, Absorb is expanding its vision to foster more personalized, relationship-driven growth. The company launched a mentorship network—a free, global community designed for HR and L&D professionals to connect, share, and grow through opportunities to both mentor and be mentored. It’s designed to close the gap in access to professional growth, providing space for peer exchange, deeper connection, and continuous learning.

"Absorb is the fastest-growing HR and learning technology company in the world because we deliver exactly what today’s organizations need: a platform that’s years ahead of the market—thoughtfully designed for every learner, from employees and customers to partners, and beyond,” said Saravana Sivanandham, Chief Marketing Officer at Absorb Software.
