Employers as Educators

Covid-19 restrictions have greatly impacted higher education, leaving students young and old asking the question: “are traditional degrees even worth it anymore?” This question is especially relevant as more and more organizations are offering training/development programs for team members.

On this episode of TELUS International Studios, we're joined by Dan Pontefract, previous Chief Envisioner and Chief Learning Officer at TELUS. Dan launched the TELUS Transformation Office to improve workplace culture and the TELUS MBA program via University of Victoria. He speaks about the purpose of L+D, and how nurturing employees to further develop their skill sets can improve confidence, drive, fulfillment and overall company culture.
