TED helps strengthen businesses by connecting skills to purpose and possibility
TED Talks have a unique ability to spark curiosity, challenge assumptions and make complex ideas feel human. You can weave our content into any initiative or program across your organization.
Make learning more engaging
TED content fits seamlessly into LMS libraries, cohorts, workshops, learning series and other programs for targeted learner audiences like emerging leaders, early career professionals and more.
Enhance employee onboarding
Layer TED Talks into your onboarding program to help new hires quickly understand your values, ways of working and organizational culture.
Supercharge culture initiatives
For inclusion and belonging efforts, ERGs or other culture initiatives, TED Talks can surface diverse perspectives and lived experiences in a way that feels authentic and engaging.
Give internal events a boost
From lunch and learns to all-hands meetings and staff town halls, TED Talks are an easy way to elevate internal events. A short talk can energize a room, introduce a theme or reinforce a key message.
Inspire change and innovation
Innovation programs, hackathons and change management efforts benefit from fresh thinking. TED Talks can help employees zoom out and see what’s possible.
Support better performance reviews
Performance reviews can be challenging. To help shift the tone from evaluation to development, managers can share relevant TED Talks with direct reports before or after a review.

Why license TED content?
As a nonprofit, TED shares content under a Creative Commons license that allows for personal viewing but not commercial use — which means content must be licensed for business purposes.
Our distributable TED content goes through a careful review process, including vetting and fact checking, making it appropriate for workplace use. Note: not all TED content is distributable.
Licensing ensures responsible content distribution across your organization, while supporting the ideas and speakers behind the talks.
