Company recognized for its efforts to develop employee
talents
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A)
today announced it has received a Learning!100 Award from
Elearning! Media Group (EMG). This is the third year in a row that
EMG has recognized Agilent for the strength and quality of its
Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain (OFS) online learning
programs.
The award was received for Agilent’s OFS School of Digital
Innovation, an educational online portal that helps employees
develop a digital mindset toward innovating and solving problems,
with topics ranging from artificial intelligence and robotics to
Office 365. This is Agilent’s third Learning!100 Award in three
years; No. 15 in 2017 (for strategy activation), No. 8 in 2018 (for
the OFS Academy learning portal), to No. 3 this year (for the OFS
School of Digital Innovation).
"Agilent is driving toward a digital future, one where it
envisions smarter processes powered by cutting-edge technologies,"
said Henrik Ancher-Jensen, senior vice president of Agilent, and
president of Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain (OFS) at Agilent.
"To create that future, we need a workforce that understands the
latest technologies and how to leverage them."
In response to this need, Agilent created the OFS Academy, of
which the OFS School of Digital Innovation is a part. This online
portal provides specific learning and development opportunities for
Agilent’s 3,000 OFS employees, all from a broad range of
educational, technical, and cultural backgrounds. The portal
includes articles, videos, and other educational content that
reinforce Agilent’s global culture of learning.
"Agilent fosters a strong learning culture in which employees
work closely with their managers to further their development,"
said Lars Kristiansen, senior director of OFS Strategy and
Transformation at Agilent. "The OFS learning and development plan
is directly aligned with the company’s corporate strategy and
business aspirations."
Kristiansen noted that these efforts reflect Agilent's
continuing commitment to investing in its people, which in turn
improves their ability to provide world-class customer service.
"This win reinforces our commitment to training and developing our
employees, making sure that no one gets left behind on our digital
journey," he said.
“Agilent has earned status as a top global learning organization
by winning three Learning!100 awards in three consecutive years,”
said Catherine Upton, group publisher of Elearning! Magazine. “This
represents long-term dedication by Agilent to invest in employee
development as a means to drive enterprise performance. Agilent’s
approach with the OFS Academy is a model other organizations should
adopt.”
The Elearning! Media Group’s (EMG) Learning!100 Awards recognize
excellence in learning across enterprises that invest in a truly
immersive learning culture. Learning!100 Awards recognize the top
100 organizations for their best-in-class learning and development
programs, enabling a learning culture that creates outstanding
organizational performance. Learning!100 submissions are evaluated
on three sets of criteria: Darden School’s Learning Culture Index,
Collaborative Strategies’ Innovation & Collaboration Ratings,
and overall organizational performance.
