Case Study: Joby Aviation builds stronger leaders and a culture of continuous learning with Hone

Joby Aviation boosts engagement 316% with Hone

Joby Aviation, a company developing all-electric aircraft, faced a critical leadership gap as its rapid growth outpaced its ability to develop managers from within its technically brilliant workforce. The challenge was to equip these hands-on leaders with essential people management skills like giving feedback and coaching to support ongoing success. To address this, Joby Aviation partnered with vendor Hone to implement its private leadership development programs.

Hone provided a solution featuring bite-size, actionable classes that fit into busy schedules, enabling leaders to quickly learn and apply new skills. The strategic implementation, including a "use it or lose it" approach for licenses, drove a 316% year-over-year increase in engagement. The results included the development of a common leadership language, above-benchmark performance metrics, and the creation of a continuous learning culture where leaders actively recommend and participate in classes together.
