Did you know that Employee Learning Week starts today? From December 7-11, 2009, organizations across the U.S. will take time to focus on learning in this annual campaign launched by the American Society for Training & Development. Here at Sodexo, our Talent Acquisition team will be spending time “tweeting” about their favorite professional development resources and tips. You can join in the fun, too! Post a link to your favorite place to learn in some of your tweets this week – and use the hashtag #sdxelw so we can all benefit from your resources and expertise. You can also leave them as a comment to this blog post.
Although my charge for everyone this week is to learn something new, Sodexo offers learning and development all year long! It starts with Sodexo University and our on-boarding program, Come Alive with Sodexo. The program lasts a full year, with eLearning and classroom-based courses to help new Sodexo managers with everything from company history to health & safety and beyond. Sodexo University also offers courses in diversity awareness, business ethics, performance management, sustainability initiatives and leadership. Through partnerships with outside organizations, Sodexo University is able to offer courses in computer skills, time management, and a variety of other topics as well.
Beyond the walls of Sodexo University, our Spirit of Mentoring programs and Employee Network Groups offer numerous mentoring and professional development opportunities to our employees. What better way to learn new skills than by practicing and discussing them with trusted colleagues!
And if formal education is what you’re looking for, Sodexo offers tuition reimbursement as well as partnerships with Strayer University, Post University, and Rose State College to help you invest in yourself.
As a learning and development professional, I am proud of the number of learning opportunities available for Sodexo employees. With all of these resources at your fingertips, what are you waiting for? Take some time this week to get out and learn something new!
