Ep. 011: Maxanne Whitehead, Learning and Development, Walmart eCommerce

Maxanne Whitehead answers the question all enterprises have on their mind, whether they say it out loud or not. Is training worth it? It can be difficult to get full buy-in on training across all verticals of an organization. Training takes time away from other tasks. It costs money. That's why Whitehead stresses the power of communication. By creating, tracking, and sharing training metrics, there is proof to show that training is not only worth it, but imperative to the success of any enterprise. Whitehead closes by sharing how and why Walmart practices what she preaches.
