 The nonprofit health system received a LearningElite gold award from
Chief Learning Officer magazine. Memorial was ranked 14 in the
nation from more than 200 applicants and also received the award for
Best Mid-Sized Company.
The LearningElite award recognizes organizations that surpass
benchmark standards for putting into practice workforce learning and
development strategies.
“This recognition as the top healthcare organization in the country
showcases our commitment to ensuring we provide each of our
employees the opportunity to learn and grow in their professions,”
said Aimee Allbritton, the health system’s vice president of
organization development and chief learning officer.
“Being named LearningElite is validation of Memorial Health System’s
commitment to developing the skills and knowledge of our employees
and is a testament to the professionals who provide educational
opportunities to our employees,” Allbritton said. “The new Memorial
Center for Learning and Innovation is further proof of our
commitment to workforce learning and provides additional educational
opportunities in a learner-centered environment.”
Developed under the guidance of chief learning officers and senior
workforce development practitioners, the LearningElite program is
the only peer-based benchmarking initiative in the industry. It
recognizes excellence in five key performance indicators: learning
strategy, learning impact, leadership commitment, learning execution
and business performance results.
