Empowering northern care workers to GROW!
Teresa Exelby, Chief Corporate Services & People Officer at Community Integrated Care, said:
“We were up against some huge names from across a whole host of different sectors, so it is a real honour and achievement for our charity to be recognised. When we set out to transform our learning culture, we were really determined to capture the many skills a Support Worker needs to transform the lives of the people they support. One of our main goals was to create a learning journey that coaches our colleagues, in a person-centered way, working around their incredibly busy schedules and empowering them to support people to live fulfilling lives. Since GROW launched, we’re proud to share that over 5000 colleagues have participated and over 190,000 pieces of learning have been completed. These numbers and this special award demonstrate the success of GROW, and we’re delighted to see the impact it’s having in delivering the best lives possible. I’d like to say a huge congratulations to our Learning and Development team for their outstanding work in bringing GROW to life, and a special thank you to everybody across our organisation who contributed to its creation and delivery.”
