Trusted by 2,000+ IT & HR leaders in Microsoft-first organizations
Zensai transforms learning, engagement, and performance into impact right inside Microsoft 365. No disruption, just smarter ways to grow where your teams already work.
An employee development platform that grows everyone, not just your top talent
Development plans connected to learning, career paths, and goals — built with AI, inside Microsoft 365.
You write the development plan. Then nobody looks at it for a year.
The plan sits in a document, disconnected from the learning that would deliver it and the goals it should ladder up to. Nothing tracks progress, so nothing happens. The people who most want to grow stop waiting for systems to work and find somewhere that invests in them.
Set your people up for success with Zensai employee development platform
No switching between platforms. Learning happens inside Microsoft 365, connected to the skills and goals it's meant to build. With AI doing the busywork and your team in complete control.
A development plan stays live between reviews.
Every employee gets a development plan connected to a learning path and their goals, with progress that’s visible, not a few lines in a review form nobody reopens.
A path for everyone, not just the high-potentials.
Role-based skills targets and career development paths show people what "next" looks like and how to get there, across the whole workforce.
Shared accountability for AI-drafted paths.
AI drafts a development path from a role, skills gap or aspiration and connects it to performance, so growth, learning, and goals move together. Employees, managers, and L&D teams power those paths.
Zensai leads employee development with +90% user adoption
Most employee development software ends up being a compromise. Zensai is different. HR, employees, managers, and IT each get what they need in one connected system. And because it’s built inside Microsoft 365, people actually use it.

We wanted to heavily invest in people's growth and a robust and modern LMS was critical in achieving that goal.

Zensai is easy to navigate and manage. It's so straightforward to add courses, training plans and then track the progress. I would strongly recommend a system like this!

Learn365 was the differentiator because it was the only solution that integrated into the tool that we had grown accustomed to using - Microsoft Teams.

FAQs
What is an employee development platform?
An employee development platform is software for growing your whole workforce — development plans, skills, and career paths — not just delivering courses. Zensai builds it inside Microsoft 365, connecting each person’s plan to the learning and performance that move it, so development is an ongoing practice rather than an annual form.
Is this employee development software or an LMS?
Both. Zensai is a full LMS at its core, but as employee development software it goes further — connecting courses to development plans, role-based skills targets, and career paths, and tying them to performance. You get learning delivery and the development practice around it in one place.
What are employee development plans, and how do they work here?
An employee development plan sets out what someone is working toward and how they’ll get there. In Zensai the plan isn’t a static document — it connects to a learning path, links to their goals, and shows progress, all inside Microsoft 365. It stays live between reviews instead of being written once and forgotten.
Does it support career development paths?
Yes. Role-based skills targets and career development paths show each person what “next” looks like and the steps to get there. AI helps build the path from their role and skill gaps, and it’s available to the whole workforce — not just a high-potential shortlist.
How is this different from a generic LMS or LinkedIn Learning?
A content library gives people courses; it doesn’t give them a development plan, a career path, or a connection to their performance and goals. Zensai does — and it runs natively in Microsoft 365, so development happens in the flow of work rather than on a separate site people forget to visit.
Does AI build the development plans?
AI drafts the development path from someone’s role and skill gaps, sequencing the right learning and highlighting gaps in your catalog; your L&D team and managers work with employees as they review, shape and take accountability for their own journey. The AI removes the manual work of building a plan for every employee — the judgment about someone’s growth, skills prioritization and learning investments stays human.
Which Zensai edition includes employee development?
Employee development — learning paths, skills targets, and development plans — is part of the Grow edition, Zensai’s entry edition. Scale adds continuous performance so development connects to goals and reviews; Transform adds engagement. Most teams start at Grow.
How long does it take to implement?
Because Zensai runs inside the Microsoft 365 environment your IT team already manages, there’s no new platform to stand up and no separate security review to clear. Provisioning runs from Entra ID, so most teams are live in weeks, not months.
Will employees actually use it — and does it help retention?
Development is one of the strongest reasons people stay. When it lives in Teams where they already work — with a visible plan and path — people engage with it. Buffalo Rehab Group reached 97% retention, well above their industry average, after making development a connected practice.
