Defense firm gains impressive employee retention

A large aerospace/defense leader was looking to deliver focused results from learning and development and internal training investments to help meet critical skill gaps that aligned with the company’s strategic direction and future growth plan. By providing more defined career development roadmaps, they sought to recruit and retain the specialized workforce needed to deliver on large military and government contracts. Additionally, they had a pressing need to centralize their $9.8 million tuition reimbursement program, which had struggled amid siloed department budgets, duplicate vendor contracts, and inconsistent internal training.
