Two-time National ASTD BEST Winner - Ryan

Presents:

Results-Focused Training for Results-Focused Flexible Working Environment

In 2008, Ryan was successful and poised for continued success. However, the CEO was concerned about workers leaving the organization in growing numbers. The annual attrition rate - though still below the industry norm was creeping up. Exit interviews indicated that employees were leaving because of work rules that didn't fit today's professionals. The CEO realized that change was needed. He decided to take significant risk and embark on a journey to create a results-focused, flexible, and innovative work environment. The myRyan initiative was created and learning was a critical component from the onset. The organization has rapidly grown and changed in recent years, as has the world of work, and learning has been a critical part of business strategy.

Join us in January as Ryan shares their BEST practices in implementing a learning strategy to support a key business strategy and take away new insights on how learning & development function can support strategic change within your organization
