Founded in 1822, DNB is Norway’s largest financial services group and uses Motimate—a Kahoot! company—to train and engage over 10,000 employees efficiently. DNB is committed to excellence and utilizes Motimate for various critical functions, ensuring its workforce is well-trained, well-equipped, and aligned with the company’s goals and regulatory requirements.

The challenge

The digital revolution has precipitated major financial and banking services restructuring. DNB must adapt to changing market conditions and equip its organization with new competencies to stay ahead of the curve.

Seamless integration of physical and digital learning for effective onboarding at DNB

New employees at DNB go through mandatory onboarding using Motimate, which ensures a smooth transition into the company. Motimate allows DNB to combine physical and digital learning, creating a comprehensive onboarding experience. New employees can access essential information, complete required courses, and familiarize themselves with the company’s culture at their own pace. The flexibility and interactivity of Motimate enhance the onboarding process, making it more engaging and effective.

Developing and implementing a comprehensive training program to ensure regulatory compliance for all employees

DNB also uses Motimate to ensure compliance with the strict regulations of the Norwegian Financial Authorities, Finanstilsynet. DNB must submit a yearly report confirming that all employees have received thorough training on important topics such as anti-money laundering, security, and anti-corruption. Motimate provides an efficient solution for delivering and tracking this required training. DNB relies on the Motimate platform to ensure that all 10,000 employees receive consistent and regularly updated training, allowing DNB to meet its regulatory obligations effectively.

Strengthening corporate strategy communication at DNB with Motimate

DNB has successfully used Motimate to communicate its corporate strategy effectively. The platform has made it easier to reach all employees, ensuring that the company’s strategic objectives are clearly understood and internalized. Through engaging and interactive modules, employees learned about the company’s vision, goals, and roles in achieving them. 

“Motimate is vital in DNB’s comprehensive communication toolbox, reinforcing key messages and fostering a unified direction among the workforce,” Marianne said.

Benefits of using Motimate

Motimate has proven to be a cost-effective and powerful tool for DNB. It reduces the need for extensive human resources to create lengthy documents that employees might overlook. Instead, Motimate enables the creation of more engaging and exciting gamified content. This approach not only saves time and human power but also enhances the learning experience for employees, making training more enjoyable and effective. As a result, DNB can maintain high standards of training and communication while optimizing resource use and maximizing employee engagement.

In summary, DNB’s partnership with Motimate has revolutionized its training and communication processes, ensuring compliance, effective onboarding, and a well-informed workforce aligned with its strategic goals.

The results

Since 2018, DNB has created more than 990 digital courses, which are used by more than 10,000 employees who have collectively completed over 1 million courses. That’s a lot of learning!
