CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – September 11, 2017
Cris Hatcher, Director of Training and Development with Watco Companies, has won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Silver Award as an Emerging Star in the Learning and Development category.
Cris has worked to develop the Watco U Online program for Team Member training through utilizing BizLibrary’s online learning solutions over the past two years. Results from growing the Watco U program have included higher engagement in training, increased employee retention, training cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction.
At ALIGN 2016, Cris and Watco won the Program of the Year award among all BizLibrary clients. They have also recently won a 2017 Learning! 100 award for Culture.
“I will be the first person to state that this recognition is a result of all the Watco Team Members and what they do, more than what I have done,” said Cris Hatcher. “I am just blessed to be in a role to support them, which allows me to work to deliver training solutions that meet their needs. When they get engaged and take advantage, great things happen.”
“Excellence Award winners symbolize the power and impact that Human Capital Management practices can have on a business or on any organization,” said Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. “Many organizations can have great HCM initiatives, but the standard of excellence only applies for organizations whose HCM practices truly benefit the business. That’s what the Excellence Awards program stands for, and that is what Brandon Hall Group stands for.”
The Brandon Hall Group Excellence Award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measureable benefits.
