Provider Description

Hone is a live learning platform for management training that cultivates soft skills with hard data. We blend the best of expert-led small group training, peer learning, continuous reinforcement, and a powerful technology platform to develop better leaders, managers, and teammates for today’s workplace.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

After being at the helm of billion dollar companies and scale-ups, our founding team started Hone to address the management and leadership challenges of hyper-growth companies. As pioneers in live virtual training, Hone’s learning experience has always been designed to be remote-first, cost-efficient, and scalable for distributed teams. We offer a wide breadth of topics that teach the science of high-performing leadership, and our platform makes it simple to deploy new learning programs, keep track of the learner experience, and measure training success.

We believe that management and leadership skills are learned through practice, so our classes are live, taught in small groups, and reinforced through asynchronous material and an ongoing rotation of additional live classes that learners can take with other learners in the Hone community.

What do you like best about Hone?

The two best components when using Hone as a vendor and a product are the customer service and the accessibility. The customer service at Hone is exceptional. With responses within one-business day and tailored responses to very specific asks, you can find nothing better than their customer service team. As for their product, the Hone dashboard and the vast options for asynchronous learning experiences provide optimal avenues to users to freely find courses at their moment of need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Though Hone provides a vast amount instructor-led courses (around 100), this is the bulk of the asynchronous options you can find in their dashboard. The instructor-led courses are a minimum of one-hour, which may be a hinderous for a vast majority of their users due to work conflicts and prioritization. Hone can improve their user experience by providing more asynchronous learning products such as industry articles, on-demand videos, and more options for people to get content at the moment of need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hone solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hone is providing our company with content that we use for a nomination-based learning experience where learners are provided a 4-part learning pathways that is tailored to their leadership experience level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hone?

How responsive our designated representative is. He not only helps us if we need something, but is constantly looking at our company usage and how we can improve engagement, and tailor to our specific business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

The only thing that can be slightly inconvenient, is updating employee information if not using an HRIS feed, and even when doing so. (changing reporting manager, title, ending access, etc.) This isn't a deal-breaker by any means, but is a bit more manual in nature. Hone is always there to help take care of these changes for us.

What do you like best about Hone?

It has a very large array of courses, in different time zones/times of the day. With easy scheduling and rescheduling when work meetings come up. It's also really easy to browse, find and discover different courses that might be of interest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

Honestly the only thing I dislike is that I need to make more time in my schedule for learning! Once or twice I've been paired up with people in break out groups where the conversation hasn't exactly been directly beneficial to me personally, but those have been opportunities to practice mentorship, active listening and other skills in those settings. Connecting with people from a variety of contexts and different business backgrounds is very fun and hugely enlightening, even if it doesn't pertain to my everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hone:

Consider it! It focuses on the softer skills like people management and active listening, giving you tools and strategies to help you develop and figure out where you need to grow. It's been great and I would highly recommend using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hone solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Hone?

Hone's hands/face-on approach to virtual learning with group breakout sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

I have not found anything to dislike about Hone, but if I could choose between in-person and virtual learning, I'll choose in-person each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hone:

I'm specifically attending the Hone management classes and it has been amazing, but not in just the content alone. It's also helping me reach other members of my organization, establish relationships with them, and learn who they are, how they manage and lead, and find ways to improve and adapt. As far as training quality goes, it doesn't get any better than Hone's hands/face-on approach to virtual learning with group breakout sessions and a plethora of classes that built on top of each other to give us, the learners, tangible skills and tools needed to not only improve our lives, but the lives of our teammates. Count on Hone to take care of all your training needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Hone?

Hone's platform was seamlessly integrated into our organizational processes. The site itself is intuitive and easy to navigate. Additionally, their library of courses isn't overwhelmingly vast to the point that it's difficult to determine which courses would best suit the skill gaps of your learning cohorts. Our learners have derived significant value in not only developing the skills taught in Hone's classes but also in participating in the breakout sessions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hone?

While their library of content isn't overwhelming, there are times when I find myself wishing for just a bit more variety in their courses. An added bonus would be to bring some course content customization options to the Hone membership. Lastly, having a few more class dates/times and allow learners to see who within their organization will be attending a specific class iteration would be fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hone solving and how is that benefiting you?

In mid 2023, I was tasked with the planning, development, and execution of a leadership development strategy for an extremely fast-paced, large company of over 600 people. While we had run leadership development efforts on a smaller scale in the past, this was our first step into rolling out such efforts on an organization-wide level. As soon as I began reading more about Hone's offerings, I knew it would be the perfect match for what we've been looking to achieve. It provided me with a team of experts in the learning and development field who could provide me with guidance at a moment's notice, a library of interactive courses to provide to our leaders, and built-in reporting tools that I could use to get a pulse on our progress.

What was originally going to be a gargantuan task of me designing every aspect of what surely would have been multitudes of classes built from scratch turned into a much more managable initiative that, while still a welcome challenge, isn't quite as big of a mountain for us to climb. Hone is also providing our leaders with high-quality content that has helped our team level-up their power skills and be better leaders overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
