PJH has introduced new team members to its learning and development (L&D) team.
The new team members include Lauren Fergus as L&D content creator, Justyna Prasek as L&D business partner South and Guy Buggie as L&D business partner North.
Guy was previously responsible for health and safety and compliance training across the UK. He has knowledge in warehousing, transport and safety. PJH said that Justyna’s expertise lies in people skills and leadership development, while Lauren focuses on content creation for online learning and ensuring smooth Learning Management System (LMS) operations.
According to a statement, the new team can offer a variety of training, delivered both face-to-face and online utilising various technologies to create learning materials including the use of animation. Together the team is to focus on interactivity and scenario-based learning as well as integrating the use of technology to make learning more relatable and targeted to specific PJH roles, it noted.
Dawn Kennedy, PJH’s learning and development manager, said: “We have invested in and enlarged the L&D team to respond better to the diverse needs of the PJH workforce. We are now able to offer enhanced face-to-face and online learning in different ways, allowing employees to access a huge amount of content that is relevant to their role at the click of a button and at any time.
“The face-to-face learning components work alongside our online platform, allowing learners to book sessions online, receive certificates and engage interactively during in-person sessions.”
PJH said that the success of its L&D program is ‘evident’ in its achievements: over 600 courses offered, more than 900 enrolments completed, 18,000 self-enrolments, 1,433 hours of online learning consumed and an outstanding 4.9 out of 5 employee satisfaction rating.
