Hands-Up
Sally Beauty Holdings stands out in the increasingly competitive beauty products industry, with over 5000 stores carrying over 10,000 haircare products from some of the biggest brands in the market.
It’s biggest advantage however, is its people and the company has prioritized its investment in them under an academy program known as “Greenhouse” – with the goal of nurturing growth throughout the company, regardless of position.
“Our goal for Greenhouse is to be a different type of leadership education. We challenge people to really think outside the box, and that means presenting material in very creative and dynamic ways. We create highly interactive classrooms where we experiment with paper airplanes, build things with Legos, and do other activities that get people thinking differently. The results have been outstanding.”
Yvette Birlew, Sally Beauty HoldingsThis rich interactive element and high engagement setting was put to the test during the Covid-19 pandemic. Standard video conferencing tools simply weren’t good enough, but Adobe Connect and the Vantage Point Suite from Refined Training could deliver the experience they were after. The end result is a highly interactive virtual training environment.
Other Benefits
The move to a virtual training classroom has yielded other benefits – with managers able to join sessions from the field, the ability for participants to easily reschedule sessions and join sessions that fit within their busy lifestyle.
“Moving to virtual learning allows us to reach many more associates and expand our leadership education. Engagement is on the rise and learners feel more invested when we give them more control over where and when they learn.”
