New Study Demonstrates How Classic Residence by Hyatt Achieves Excellence in Execution by Using Learn.com
Learn.com®, the leader in on-demand workforce development and productivity announced today that Bersin & Associates has completed an in-depth case study of the organizational development strategies of Classic Residence by Hyatt®, a leading national provider of senior living and care. The company further distinguishes itself from other senior-living companies through its innovative approach to employee training and development.
Sunrise, FL, October 02, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Prior to implementing Learn.com, training at Classic Residence by Hyatt was developed and delivered by functional departments and separate training groups within the communities. Training had to be manually tracked and managed which contributed to increased costs and labor. Classic Residence by Hyatt used Learn.com to create an online university, called E-Campus. E-Campus launched in 2008, to provide centralized organizational and governance structure for the company to ensure that the learning and development functions were aligned with the company’s strategy. Classic Residence by Hyatt identified several keys to success with regard to marketing and learning programs, including appealing to emotions, engaging senior leaders, using cross-functional advocates and explaining the overall benefits.
According to the case study, “The new approach to learning has also had an impact on employee enablement and employee engagement. According to a recent employee engagement survey (conducted by the Hay Group for Classic Residence by Hyatt), the scores for training and development were 18 percent higher than industry norm, 19 percent higher than the national norm and 21 percent higher than high-performing companies.”
As demonstrated by the chart below, Classic Residence by Hyatt meets or exceeds industry, national and high performing organizations in 10 categories.
"Classic Residence by Hyatt has 20 locations nationally. We continually look for ways to offer our employees the very best in training and development experiences. We pride ourselves in making Classic Residence by Hyatt an exceptional place to work by providing a myriad of learning opportunities for our employees. We believe that providing employees with training and development opportunities helps them learn and grow and contributes to our goals of motivating, engaging and retaining our team members. We know that motivated and engaged employees contribute to our strong service culture and to resident satisfaction," said Judy Whitcomb, SPHR and Assistant Vice President of Learning and Organizational Development at Classic Residence by Hyatt.
