Companies That Invested and Profited from Corporate Education
Mar 27, 2025

Published by Karina Vieira
Low productivity, lack of employee engagement, and high turnover are common challenges for companies of all sizes. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), companies with high turnover rates spend up to double the employee's salary to replace them, considering costs with recruitment, onboarding, and lost productivity.
Moreover, a study by Gallup revealed that only 15% of employees worldwide feel engaged at work, and this lack of involvement costs US$ 7.8 trillion per year to the global economy. Many companies try to solve this problem by hiring new professionals but forget that the solution may lie within the organization itself: continuous training.
Companies that invest in digital corporate education have more productive employees, higher talent retention, and most importantly, more profit. According to a survey by Brandon Hall Group, organizations that prioritize internal training increase their revenue per employee by 218% and have 24% more profit margin compared to companies that do not invest in corporate learning.
But which companies have truly transformed their businesses by digitizing their training? In this article, we will showcase real cases of companies that saved millions and boosted their financial results by adopting digital training.
🔹 Large companies, such as Ambev and Natura, that reduced operational costs and increased productivity and sales.
🔹 Medium-sized companies that improved employee retention and qualification.
🔹 Small businesses that became more competitive by investing in digital training.
And to illustrate the real impact of this strategy, we will bring the case of the Grupo Mantevida, which saved over R$ 100,000 per year by digitizing its training and eliminated bottlenecks that previously directly affected its operational efficiency.
If you feel that your company is losing money due to low productivity, high turnover, and ineffective training, keep reading. The numbers and stories below may change how you view corporate education.

Ambev: Cost Reduction and Scalable Training for 35,000 Employees
Ambev, one of the largest breweries in the world, realized that traditional training methods — face-to-face and decentralized — were generating high costs and low effectiveness. With factories, distribution centers, and offices spread across Brazil, the logistics of training thousands of employees was a constant challenge.
The solution? Create a digital corporate university to integrate and standardize training. With this, the company:
✅ Dramatically reduced costs related to travel, accommodation, and infrastructure for face-to-face training.
✅ Trained over 35,000 employees in record time, ensuring that teams received standardized information without interrupting operations.
✅ Increased productivity and talent retention, as employees now had continuous and accessible learning from anywhere.
The change was so significant that, according to the company itself, the digital corporate university of Ambev became an internal reference for qualifying leaders and operational teams.
Natura: Increased Sales and Engagement with Online Training
Natura, a giant in the cosmetics industry, faced a common problem in companies with large networks of sellers and independent representatives: the difficulty of ensuring that all professionals received the same level of training on products, sales strategies, and customer service.
With over 1.8 million consultants, Natura realized that most of its consultants lacked basic knowledge in marketing, sales, and technical knowledge about the products they were going to sell, and relying on an in-person model to train its partners made the process slow and ineffective. To solve this, the company launched the Natura University, an online training platform that directly impacted the results:
✅ 30% increase in sales for consultants who completed online courses, compared to those who did not receive the training.
✅ Record engagement, with over 500,000 active users on the platform.
✅ Improvement in consultant retention, as continuous training made them more prepared for the market and strengthened the relationship with the brand.
The result was clear: the digitization of training made Natura's sales force better prepared and increased the company's revenue.

Grupo Mantevida: Savings of R$ 100,000 per Year with Training Digitalization
The Grupo Mantevida, which operates in the health sector with hospitals, clinics, call centers, and a health plan operator, faced specific challenges in training its more than 900 employees.
In-person training represented a high operational cost, especially with room rentals, employee travel, and the need for dedicated instructors, which caused significant disruptions for the Human Resources and Organizational Development (DHO) team. Additionally, turnover in the hospital and call center was high, meaning that new employees often started working without adequate training, directly harming the patient and customer experience.
By adopting a digital corporate university, the group was able to:
✅ Save over R$ 100,000 per year, eliminating expenses with infrastructure for face-to-face training.
✅ Ensure that all employees had immediate access to training, regardless of location or work schedule.
✅ Reduce the burden on the IT team, who previously had to repeatedly conduct the same training for system migrations.

With this transformation, the Grupo Mantevida improved the quality of services, optimized internal processes, and strengthened its team in a scalable way.
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises Also Profit from Digital Corporate Education
Although large companies have impressive cases, smaller businesses also reap the benefits of digitized training. An example is Fast Açaí, a franchise network that invested in online training to educate its franchisees.
Before digitalization, each new unit depended on in-person training, which made expansion slower and more expensive. With the online platform, the company:
✅ Reduced franchisee training costs by 60%.
✅ Standardized processes, ensuring that all stores followed the same operational model.
✅ Accelerated the opening of new units, as training could be done independently and flexibly.
This is a clear example that businesses of any size can grow faster and more efficiently by investing in digital corporate education.
