DeVry bestows the award annually to organizations for excellence
in workforce development programs that provide their employees
numerous opportunities to learn, grow and succeed. The TEACH
Partner Award is rooted in the DeVry University’s values, which
guide how the university interacts with its students, faculty,
colleagues and partners.
DeVry University’s TEACH values are.
Teamwork:
We put the team first, appreciate diverse points of view,
assume positive intent, collaborate and communicate openly
Energy:
We move quickly, learn from mistakes, build positive spirit and
always look for a better way
Accountability:
We take ownership and initiative, demonstrate courage, and act with
integrity
Community:
We operate with a shared sense of responsibility and purpose, and
enrich colleagues, students and the broader community we serve
Heart:
We serve students and each other with passion, respect and care
From an innovative portal that enables leaders and their teams
to collaborate on development plans; to learning about current
employees’ needs through “stay” interviews – as opposed to exit
interviews; from summer internships and an executive mentoring
program to creating a one-of-a-kind senior leadership development;
the creation of a fully gamified learning platform; to creating
employee resources groups that partner with outside community
groups; among other initiatives, GameStop has created a
comprehensive workforce development program that is focused on
bringing out the best in its employees and its business. Through
their workforce development initiatives, GameStop has delivered
enviable talent retention results amid an historically low national
unemployment rate.
Matthew Hirst, senior director of Talent, OD & Learning for
GameStop, said about the award, “We feel especially honored to be
recognized by the business and learning leaders at DeVryWORKS, with
whom we’ve worked closely to develop and build valuable tools and
resources that enable our people to learn and grow at GameStop.
We’re always working hard to improve our programs, with a goal of
delivering an associate experience where every person in our
organization feels both recognized for their unique contributions
to the GameStop family and supported in working towards their
career goals. We’re especially grateful to receive this award,
which reflects the commitment and hope we have for our associates
to find purpose and meaning in their work.”
“At DeVry, these TEACH values define us, how we are guided and
the decisions we make in support of our students and employer
partners,” said Joe Mozden, vice president of DeVryWORKS. “As such,
we want to recognize those organizations that apply these values
within the context of our partnership as their education provider.
We commend GameStop for their efforts to bring their own values to
life and ensuring their employees are engaged, passionate and
empowered in their careers.”
