Building a culture of learning allows us to scale on multiple fronts and follow market trends ahead of our competitors. This is done with standardized documentation, established career paths, a modern Learning Management System, and data-driven insights. My job is to procure and implement the pieces we need, and strengthen the ones we have. But to be successful, you have to maintain a single source of truth, keep the barrier of entry as low as possible and automate where it makes sense.Things I've done: - Sourced, implemented and continue to manage our Learning Management System. - Developed a catalog of eLearning courses specific to business needs and continually develop more. - Established automated enrollments based on hire date and/or position. - Fostered strategic partnerships with internal and external stakeholders. - Replaced third-party subscriptions with purpose built internal content, eliminating additional cost. - Lead cross-functional initiatives prioritized by the Executive Leadership Team.
