Harcourts is reinforcing its long-standing commitment to learning and development with the continued rollout of Thrive, a connected learning platform designed to make development easier to access across the entire network. By bringing onboarding, training and continuous growth into one place, Thrive is helping leaders build stronger, more capable teams in the flow of everyday work.
Great businesses are built by people who keep learning, growing and developing over time. Thrive supports that ambition directly, giving leaders the tools to create richer learning experiences for their teams while removing the friction that often comes with accessing the right resources at the right moment.
Addressing a Common Challenge for Leaders
For many leaders, training and performance conversations can feel reactive. A new team member joins and needs support. Someone wants to build confidence in an unfamiliar area. A skill gap surfaces during a performance conversation. In each case, finding the right resource quickly is difficult when learning is scattered across multiple systems and locations.
Thrive solves this by bringing learning opportunities together into one connected place.
"We know our leaders are committed to developing their people, but until now the resources they needed were often spread too thin," said Mitch Green, Head of People and Culture at Harcourts. "Thrive removes that barrier. It puts practical, relevant learning at our leaders' fingertips, so they can support their teams when it matters most. This platform reflects who we are as a business—we invest in our people, and we always will."
Supporting Every Stage of the Harcourts Journey
Whether onboarding a new Sales Consultant, supporting a Property Manager, developing administration team members or encouraging first-time leaders, Thrive makes development easier to discover, easier to access and easier to continue over time.
In practice, that might look like:
- Encouraging a new team member to complete an onboarding pathway
- Sharing a webinar registration link with the team
- Recommending learning content ahead of a coaching conversation
- Supporting someone stepping into leadership for the first time
- Helping team members continue building confidence and capability in their role
Crucially, Thrive is not designed to replace leadership, coaching or business conversations—it is built to support them.
"Thrive isn't about replacing the human side of leadership. It's about strengthening it," said Alinta Ward, Learning & Development Strategy Leader at Harcourts. "When learning becomes part of the everyday rhythm of the business, people grow with confidence. We're creating content and pathways that are genuinely useful, so every team member has what they need to succeed in their role."
A Platform That Grows with the Network
As more content, pathways and development opportunities are added over time, leaders will have an even greater ability to support their people with practical, accessible and relevant learning experiences at every stage of their Harcourts journey.
In the latest milestone, Thrive is now home to the HX content—an exciting addition that further expands the learning available across the network.
