The LMS is the latest in the company's well-documented history of investing in team members' growth and development, and is in addition to the Sandals Corporate University's (SCU) previous investment of over US$1 million in scholarships to team members pursuing high school equivalency courses; professional certification programmes; associate, bachelor and postgraduate degrees.
According to the company's Learning, Development and Service Standards Director Dr Phillip Brown, the company has seen an almost 40 per cent increase in the number of team members starting and completing courses since the closure of the resorts due to the pandemic.
“Our company has always taken learning and development seriously, and through this particular learning management system we are able to further streamline our efforts, work closely with our team members to plan their individual learning journeys, and be better positioned to invest in the holistic development of our team.
A robust and multifaceted system, the LMS currently covers over 130 courses created by Sandals or third-party suppliers to meet the learning and competency needs of team members.
Team members may pursue courses of their choice and are also assigned courses by their supervisors or managers based on the needs of the company, their specific departments, and the team member's individual learning pathway.
