“Sysmex believes that investing in associate development is paramount to the success of our organization,” says Ralph Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Sysmex America, Inc. “When associates are developing to their fullest potential, they are able to provide exceptional services and innovative solutions to our customers. By providing our associates with the opportunity to own their development and career growth, we propel the organization forward.”

 

Sysmex’s Talent Development Team earned a gold and a silver award by executing on the company’s commitment to offer development and education to all of their associates.  The team developed a comprehensive strategy that integrated multiple technology platforms and utilized a focused cadence of communications. This strategy resulted in a significant increase in learner engagement as associates have gained new skills and knowledge due to the strategic combination of synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities provided by the Sysmex University programs.  The team also implemented many innovative solutions through new partnerships and by optimizing learning and develop methodologies.

 

After completing a comprehensive learning needs analysis and implementing changes, participation in the programs offered through Sysmex University steadily increased over the last year. The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic required the Talent Development team to pivot quickly to modify learning and development offerings for associates across the US, Canada and Latin America.

 

“Our Talent Development team, consisting of Erin Dunstan, Kim Rihman, Jennifer Greenberg and Simi Kang, is dedicated to helping our associates learn and grow. Within the last two years, they completely redesigned the training and development programs based on the results of an extensive learning needs assessment. This effort allowed for training to be modified and delivered in more of a just-in-time format to our 1,200 associates throughout North and South America,” said Karen Stoneman, Vice President of Human Resources at Sysmex America. “I am very proud of the results of this team and the impact that they have made and will continue to make in the future.”

 

“Technology is the great enabler of human capital management initiatives. It has never been more important than during this rapid evolution of remote work that challenged everyone to instantly adapt,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer and awards program head Rachel Cooke. “Winners of Excellence in Technology Awards are critical drivers of their organizations’ success, especially in these disruptive times. Their solutions resulted in substantial benefits to their business and the human capital management function. That is the ultimate differentiator: the positive business impact of technology.”

 

 “The Excellence Award in Technology also emphasizes the value of collaboration between HCM leaders, business leaders and technology developers. To win, everyone must work together to meet the needs of all stakeholders, especially the end-users. Technology Award winners met this challenge and created value for everyone,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Executive Officer Mike Cooke.

 

A panel consisting of veteran, independent senior industry experts and Brandon Hall Group senior analysts evaluates the entries based on criteria such as innovation, uniqueness, problem solving and benefits as a result of the product or program.
