Electives Membership offers personalized learning through daily live classes, allowing employees to enroll in sessions aligned with their personal interests and career goals. This addition significantly enhanced the flexibility and accessibility of offerings from Electives.

After taking Electives classes, 89% of employees expect positive behavior changes. These changes include adjusting work routines, improving relationships, making better decisions and viewing themselves and others differently.
