Leadership Development and Strategic Consulting Firm, Root Learning, Named ISA Business of the Year
Root Learning was named the 2011 Business of the Year by ISA-The Association of Learning Providers at the 2011 ISA Annual Business Retreat. The designation recognizes the financial success, quality products and services, market position and positive workplace culture of the training company, which specializes in leadership development and strategic consulting.
Lake Ridge, VA, April 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Root Learning was awarded the ISA 2011 Business of the Year Award at ISA-The Association of Learning Providers’ Annual Business Retreat Awards Dinner, held in Scottsdale, AZ, on March 22. The designation recognizes the company’s financial success, quality products and services, market position and positive workplace culture.
“From their award-winning work to their creative, engaging workplace culture, Root Learning is a company that exemplifies what firms in our industry aspire to be,” says James Chisholm, Co-Founder and Principal of ExperiencePoint and Chair of the Awards Committee. “As we went through our rigorous process for selecting the Business of the Year Award winner, Root Learning was the clear standout.”
Through its Learning Maps® process and documentary video work, Root Learning helps organizations align and engage senior leaders and their workforces around critical and complex issues, such as strategy, new brand launches and new systems implementation, and focus on actionable solutions that drive results.
Root joins such previous recipients of the Business of the Year Award as Management Concepts, The Ken Blanchard Companies, DDI and VitalSmarts. According to Chisholm, the Awards Committee selects the winner based on the firm that reflects the best balance of five defined criteria: Financial viability (indicators that reflect healthy and sustained revenue, operating income, etc.); recognized products/services by clients (verified contribution to client performance); positive organizational culture (employee-friendly, development-oriented, high employee satisfaction levels); customer service/client satisfaction; and respect from colleagues and industry recognition for its body of work.
“It’s not just what Root Learning does that’s so impressive; it’s also how they do it,” explains Pamela Schmidt, Executive Director of ISA. “Unequivocally and unanimously, their clients say the Root team brings contagious, creative energy that inspires results. And it takes a special type of culture to consistently deliver on that level.”
Root Learning has been honored for many years by the Great Places to Work Institute as one of the Top 25 small- to medium-sized companies to work for in America. President and COO Rich Berens attributes the company’s success, both in good times and in a tough economy, to a strong commitment to operating by its values, which include servant leadership, fun, authenticity, engagement and giving.
