Crediting their people as the center of their business, their diverse and inclusive workforce is why this global business continues to move forward. Always encouraging their employees to bring their true selves to work each day, they celebrate the talents of their workforce by providing applicable and real-world continuing education opportunities through their internal Learning and Development department and recent partner, TCU Neeley Executive Education. Forming a partnership in 2022, RS Group and TCU Neeley Executive Education have worked together to create applicable and accessible learning opportunities through a series of RS Group hosted sessions and a fully custom leadership program. "We saw that TCU was willing to align the content to be highly relevant for our employees, our leadership framework, bringing in examples and case studies that actually resonated with our learners", said LaRissa O'Neal, Director of Talent and Org Capability for the Americas. "The information really mattered and applied to the participants in this program." One of the most significant outcomes of this programming to date has been the internal network within RS Group that has been created out of these learning opportunities. Often feeling siloed within their departments, the employees who have engaged in these programs now know they are not alone in their individual professional challenges and resources are accessible within the organization to help with roadblocks and challenges.

WE SAW THAT TCU WAS WILLING TO ALIGN THE CONTENT TO BE HIGHLY RELEVANT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES, OUR LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK, BRINGING IN EXAMPLES AND CASE STUDIES THAT ACTUALLY RESONATED WITH OUR LEARNERS.
