Here is how we are helping employees learn from each other in their professional environment

Beliive's new phase, now operating as an HR platform for companies.

Imagine you are working in the Marketing Department of a large company and need to write a report highlighting certain financial metrics. You decide to ask Sam from the Accounting Department for guidance.
Sam helps you, and that’s when you find out that he has to do this big presentation for his team and is afraid to speak in public.
You happen to know that Carol from Human Resources is great at public speaking and would love to help Sam in this task, even though she doesn’t know him that well.

It’s a common scenario which reveals an important gap: When working in a large company, how would you know about the different talents and abilities your co-workers have? And how would they know about your specific needs so they could offer help?

Let’s go back to 2013 for a while:

I never knew I would be an entrepreneur. I’ve always pictured myself working for an NGO as a volunteer and having a different job to pay the bills.

After watching some TED Talks and documentaries about the sharing economy, I went deep into the subject and became aware of how much people were actually doing, even with little resources. That was when I came up with the idea for my company: an innovative platform where people could offer and request services using time as a currency. I started Beliive to change the world and show people a way to give more value to themselves, their time and their talents.

Six years and a lot of work after that, here we are: Beliive is the world’s largest collaborative network that uses time as currency to enable collaboration and equal opportunity among people. With almost 200,000 users and 900,000 hours available, Beliive’s time credits are becoming an alternative for people who may not have extra money but still have talents to share.

This is how it works:

But you might ask: what does this have to do with the first paragraph of this article?

We are really happy to say that after a lot of testing, studying and talking to people, we validated a profitable Business Model in which our main goal is to facilitate the flow of talent and skills within companies where employees tend to operate in their respective silos and limit collaboration. Beliive for Companies is an exclusive and customized solution for organizations that want to promote collaboration and the exchange of experiences using time as a currency.

Companies are saving many times what they pay for in Beliive platform fees by avoiding the outsourcing of contractors, but I believe that real returns are achieved when companies save millions of dollars by prolonging employee retention, increasing collaboration and overall strengthening bonds between employees.
