Mohawk Maximizes Learning
Weinstein, Margery
Training, v49 n1 p52, 54, 56, 59 Jan-Feb 2012
For flooring manufacturer Mohawk Industries, it is not enough to teach employees how to be great. The long-time Training Top 125 contender focused last year on helping employees to blaze their own learning paths while meeting organization imperatives. That meant improving the technology that supports employee performance, as well as creating new social networking platforms to enable learners to challenge and teach one another. The result is learning and development that provides workers with the flexibility they need to grow into great, customer-focused employees; fulfilled individuals--and, sometimes, leaders.
