When the Brandon Hall Group unveiled its list of Human Capital Management Awards winners this year, Learnship was on the podium. Again.
Congratulations to our customer partners at HanesBrands, Alpargatas, and Softtek, whose programs caught the eyes of judges looking for innovative solutions that could demonstrate real business impact.
Learnship & HanesBrands: Best Results of a Learning Program | Silver
Hanesbrands, Inc. is a socially responsible manufacturer and marketer of leading basic everyday apparel. With 65,000 employees in more than 40 countries, the company has standardized on English as their global business language.
The Hanes Human Resources team needed a fast and effective program to benchmark their global talent against English standards and provide multi-cultural communication and language skills training where required.
The company adopted Learnship Baseline Step+ digital assessments to gauge general English skills, offering access to the Learnship Solo self-paced training solution for those who needed it.
The program helped improve plant managers’ communication skills and increase efficiency across engineering teams, realizing an estimated $300,000 in productivity gains since partnering with Learnship.
The program has been a hit with our Hanes client as well the Brandon Hall Judges, who confirmed the vast majority of these learners are now prepared to participate in our global business.
Learnship & Alpargatas: Best Advance in Creating a Learning Strategy | Bronze
Founded in 1907, Alpargatas has grown from a local Brazilian company to a leading player in global footwear with brands like Havaianas and Osklen. Its 20,000 employees across offices in 10 countries have adopted English as their corporate language.
Alpargatas launched a program giving its corporate, manufacturing, and retail employees access to the Learnship Solo language learning platform and our Talk With Teacher group conversation module to focus on verbal skills development.
Alpargatas has credited the program in helping to deliver better global services, improve productivity, and develop stronger leaders.
Learnship & Softtek: Best Advance in Learning Technology Implementation | Bronze
Founded in 1982 in Monterrey, Mexico, Softtek is the largest IT service provider in Latin America, helping Global 2000 organizations evolve their digital capabilities worldwide.
With 15,000 employees based in 30 global offices, Softtek has a diverse team of employees who need to communicate effectively internally and externally.
With Learnship Solo and our Talk With Teacher group conversation module, Softtek has created a customized learning environment that combines a self-paced program with productivity tools and personalized guidance focused on specific organizational goals.
More than 3,400 employees have taken the program since 2006, with 92% confirm that Learnship has helped them use English at work.
Softtek estimates that the program has delivered productivity gains worth more than $700,000 in 2019 alone thanks to improving business English communication skills.
