With its award-winning learning programs, SAP is leading the charge in shaping the workforce of the future. In a world where nearly one third of organizations have identified a lack of qualified workers as a barrier to growth and only 34 percent of executives agree that their leaders are prepared to lead a diverse workforce, SAP is proud to offer the resources needed to close those performance gaps and develop exceptional leaders.

“Today’s workforce is evolving rapidly, and we are committed to developing skilled employees and great leaders from within,” said Jenny Dearborn, senior vice president and chief learning officer at SAP. “The consistent recognition of our learning initiatives reaffirms our efforts in driving modern learning and continuous innovation.”

Instilling a culture of learning can help increase employee engagement, and ultimately, business execution. Employees who are productive and motivated to achieve both personal and company goals contribute to better business outcomes. As organizations work to stay competitive and retain top talent, it is more important than ever to prioritize learning practices that empower employees to succeed. In fact, companies that invest highly in their employees — including training and development — decrease turnover by 65 percent, a significant advantage in a job market where skilled workers are more sought-after than ever.
