Recognition for innovative manufacturing and supply-chain
training program
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) today announced that it has
received a Gartner Inc. Power of the Profession Award in the
category of Talent Payback of the Year, a prestigious honor that
recognizes the company’s innovative manufacturing and supply-chain
employee training program.
The award was granted to Agilent’s OFS Academy, an online portal
launched by the Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain organization in
2016 to inform and engage the global OFS team. The OFS Academy
differentiates due to its reach and effectiveness. Deployed across
23 sites and four continents, within the first year Agilent OFS
employees had completed 2,500 classes and viewed approximately
20,000 instructional videos, with responses for satisfaction and
efficiency that rival industry benchmarks.
“This is a tremendous achievement,” said Henrik Ancher-Jensen,
president of Agilent’s Order Fulfillment and Supply Chain
organization. “It speaks highly of our talented training staff, and
also of our employees who accepted the challenge and are committed
to continuous learning.”
OFS Academy content covers a broad range of topics, including a
supply-chain program that was developed in conjunction with Penn
State University’s Smeal College of Business. OFS Academy provides
an opportunity for direct interaction with executive management and
ensures that managers understand the company’s OFS strategy and can
communicate it to their teams. In addition, employees can take
classes through Agilent’s School of Continuous Improvement, as well
as through the recently launched Agilent OFS School of Digital
Innovation, a global program offering instruction in topics such as
artificial intelligence and 3D printing. (50-second highlights

“Agilent has a longstanding commitment to the continued
development of employees. Investment in our people helps to ensure
our continued success, which translates into the success of our
customers,” said Lars Kristiansen, Agilent’s Senior Director of OFS
Strategy and Transformation.
“We know we’re not going to be successful long-term if we don’t
invest in our people,” he added. “We can talk about being leaders
of digital transformation, but if we don’t have the talent to get
us there, then that’s all it is – just talk. We’re proud to be one
of the award winners, but we’re just getting started on our digital
journey.”
