Fuse has partnered with Assemble You to bring podcast and video-short style learning, personalised by Lyra, into the flow of everyday work. People already teach themselves this way at home. The research says they want to do it at work too.

One platform, not two contracts.

The Assemble You library lives inside the Fuse platform: the same login, the same navigation, the same place your people already go for everything else. Audio and video learning becomes part of what's already there, not one more system to provision, roll out and maintain.

That's the point of this partnership: not a library sold alongside your platform, but a library built into it.

Outside work, everyone already teaches themselves through audio.

Assemble You's latest Audio Report surveyed 250 full-time professionals across the UK and US. 64% said they already listen to podcasts or audiobooks specifically to learn something new, and 92% said audio was an effective way to do it.

People are doing this everywhere: 57% while travelling, 53% while exercising, 44% even while working, and 64% simply resting and switching off. Audio has become the default way adults keep learning once the classroom is behind them.

Employers have simply failed to catch up.

Despite that appetite, 86% of the same professionals said their employer gives them no audio-based learning content at all, and 86% said they would engage more with training if it did. The gap holds at every level: 84% of 18-24-year-olds, 87% of 25-44-year-olds and 95% of people at organisations with over 1,000 staff all said the same. Even 70% of leaders, the people who set the learning agenda, already listen to podcasts to learn.*

Fourteen pilots later, the evidence is not theoretical.

Assemble You ran 14 organisational pilots over 12 months, across a holiday village, retailers, local authorities, charities and a waste management group. Cumulatively, the pilots logged 1,577 downloads: an average of 112 per pilot group of around 15 people, or roughly 7 a day.

97% of pilot participants said they wanted audio-based learning made available alongside other formats. 91% said the 10-minute lesson length worked for them, and 87% said something they had listened to had genuinely changed a decision or a behaviour.

"It's such an easy way of learning, I think podcasts and audio learning take away the dread." — Pilot participant, Assemble You audio pilot

As one pilot manager put it: "listening to the audios has made me reflect on things I can change and embed in my practice as a manager." That is not a claim about entertainment. It is a claim about behaviour change.

This is the thinking behind the Fuse × Assemble You partnership.

Fuse and Assemble You share the same starting premise: learning should not require a special mode. Assemble You's mission is to close the gap between how we learn at home and how we learn at work; Fuse's is to put that learning inside the flow of the working day, not beside it.

Together, the partnership brings Assemble You's library into the Fuse platform: 300+ behavioural-skills sessions, 20 audio-first compliance courses, 200+ Microsoft video shorts alongside 20+ full courses, and over 100 leadership modules across 50+ learning journeys, with AI-literacy content on the roadmap. Every lesson is built by real experts: no generic voiceover, no AI-generated filler.

Lyra is what turns a shared library into a personal pathway.

A library alone still asks a person to go and find it, which is the destination-learning problem all over again. Lyra is what changes that. It learns what someone already knows, spots the specific gaps, and draws on the combined library, Fuse's existing content and Assemble You's podcasts and video shorts, to build a pathway around that individual rather than a generic module list.

Think of it less as a recommendation engine and more as a credible colleague: one who knows where you're strong, is willing to challenge your thinking, and moves you from "I sort of get this" to genuine capability, without ever asking you to leave what you were doing.

For your organisation, this is a resourcing decision, not a content decision.

Podcast- and video-style content meets people in formats they already choose, inside working hours instead of outside them. Lyra's personalised pathways replace one-size-fits-all modules with routes built for each person's actual gaps. Search-first access means answers arrive in seconds rather than sessions.

Even compliance training, food safety, IT security, and the rest, is redesigned into short, audio-first content that people actually finish. And all of it sits inside moments that already exist: the commute, the gap between meetings, the ten minutes before a call.

None of this is about adding another format to a crowded platform. It's about admitting that people already know how to learn: they do it every day, on their own terms, and finally building workplace learning to match. Get in touch to find out what that could look like for your organisation.
