10 May 2007
London, UK, 10 May 2007 - Agilisys, the UK's most innovative IT and business process service provider, is pleased to announce the launch of Agilisys University, the organisation's new corporate university.
Agilisys University has been established to provide an environment in which Agilisys' 1200 employees can receive learning and development through a framework closely aligned with the organisation's business objectives. Agilisys University is dedicated to ensuring all employees are equipped with the skills and tools to help them develop within the organisation, and to provide the best possible level of service to Agilisys clients.
Marcia Rankin, Agilisys Chief Learning Officer commented "Agilisys employs a large number of people with a very broad range of skills and experience. My goal is to provide each and every one of our employees with a means of achieving their own development plans and career progression within our organisation. Through the supporting Performance Management framework incorporating the industry standard SFIA (Skills Framework for the Information Age), we can develop a curriculum to meet the needs of our employees and the business. We also ensure that a clear focus is maintained on developing our skills and our cultural values."
Charles Mindenhall, CEO added "We are incredibly fortunate to employ the best in the business - individuals who are passionate about what they do. However, our future is shaped by ensuring the capabilities of our people can meet and exceed the expectations of our customers. Therefore, we have created an environment in which our employees will thrive and grow through innovations such as the Agilisys University, where we are investing heavily in providing a world-class development framework for our employees."
Following increasing demand from its clients, Agilisys now offers a number of training courses particularly within Local Government as the need for consultative and project awareness increases in line with the continual search for improvements, modernisation and efficiencies.
