2013 BEST winner, the Migros Retail Academy, had a mountain of challenges to overcome in developing its workforce. Chief among the challenges is that there is no formalized education program in Turkey that prepares people for a career in retail. In order to have knowledgeable employees, the company needed to start from square one—and make sure that the training delivered to employees aligned with business goals and the needs of multiple stakeholders. Strategic objectives of the company. Individual and industry needs. All of these things need to blend together via learning in an engaging way that allows the company—and its employees—to continue to grow and succeed. This session will share insights and tips about how the learning function at Migros tackled this big challenge.

In this webcast, you'll learn:

  • How to establish a succesful corporate academy
  • The importance of understanding business needs and being aligned across lines of business
  • Managing different generations in the workforce.
