At Innovorg, we're proud to share the success story of the collaboration we undertook with our client, CloudLinux, the Platform for Linux Web Hosting. The results of our partnership have yielded remarkable results in employee recruitment, education, and nurturing, demonstrating the power of a skills-based approach to workforce management.

The Challenge

CloudLinux, known for its specialized operating system for hosting service providers, faced significant challenges in its Global Customer Experience organization. These included:

  • Difficulty in recruiting and developing talent with appropriate technical skills
  • Identifying individual skills gaps
  • Closing soft skills gaps
  • Effectively managing a highly distributed remote workforce

Our Approach

Innovorg implemented a comprehensive strategy to address these challenges:

1. Establishing Standards

We defined the technical, soft, and functional skills required for each role, ensuring clarity and consistency.

2. Enhancing Onboarding

We revamped the new employee onboarding and training processes to align with evolving business needs.

3. Systematizing Knowledge Assessment

We implemented a structured approach to assess new hires' knowledge on specialized topics.

4. Administering Role Fit Visibility

We identified skills gaps between roles and individuals, delivering a thorough training needs analysis.

5. Clarifying Skills Expectations

We offered employees clear expectations for their current roles, along with tools and content for skill development.

6. Delivering Individual Employee Scorecards

We enabled effective collaboration between employees and managers based on comprehensive skills and learning data.

Key Implementations

  • Comprehensive skills catalog and roles-to-skills mapping
  • Robust training and upskilling program
  • Minimum weekly learning targets
  • Automated content aggregation and curation
  • Knowledge-centered service (KCS) approach

The Impact

The results of our partnership with CloudLinux have been remarkable for them.  David Mello, CXO of CloudLinux, had this to say:  "I would emphasize this is not just a platform, this is what I would call a solution, which includes professional services that the Innovorg team provided to do a lot of the stuff we simply didn't know how to do and would have taken us three times as long. The job satisfaction has soared compared to what it was."

Beyond Job satisfaction, here are other benefits CloudLinux has achieved since implementing Innovorg’s solution:

  • Customer satisfaction scores improved from the 70th percentile to the 90th percentile
  • Enhanced information sharing across teams, particularly beneficial for CloudLinux's global workforce of over 300 remote employees

The Bigger Picture

Innovorg’s work with CloudLinux underscores the importance of skills-based workforce development in today's rapidly evolving business landscape.

Consider these statistics:

  • 46% of newly-hired employees fail within 18 months
  • 87% of companies report having skills gaps in the workplace or expect to have them within a few years
  • Lack of career advancement opportunities was the second most common reason for people leaving their jobs in 2022

By addressing these challenges head-on, Innovorg helps companies like CloudLinux not only survive but thrive in an increasingly competitive market.

Through an effective partnership with CloudLinux, we are able to demonstrate the transformative power of a skills-based approach to workforce management. By focusing on comprehensive skills development, clear role expectations, and continuous learning, we've helped CloudLinux create a more engaged, satisfied, and productive workforce.

At Innovorg, we're committed to helping companies in the digital infrastructure space and beyond unlock the full potential of their workforce. Our solution goes beyond a simple platform, offering professional services and expertise to guide companies through the complex process of workforce transformation.

As we look to the future, we're excited to continue our partnership with CloudLinux and to help more companies achieve similar success in their workforce development efforts.
