Training Impact Partnership for Kantar Retail

Kantar Retail is partnering with Peopleway, a firm specialising in helping clients to measure and continuously improve the business impact of their people development activities.

The WPP division will deliver customised training and development programmes, which will be combined with Peopleway's cloud-based impact management tools and analytics, in a single offer. The aim is to create 'high impact learning organisations' whose people development is closely aligned with their business objectives.

Phil Smiley, CEO of Kantar Retail says organisations are 'seeking to engage and develop their people while also having visibility of the business impact of their capability investment'. He adds: 'This partnership aims to meet this need in a pragmatic, commercial and engaging way'.

Lars Julin, his opposite number at Peopleway, comments: 'Typically two-thirds of training investment has no measurable impact. We are passionate about supporting clients in maximising the impact of their training to drive business results. Kantar Retail's global reach and learning academy credentials will enable us to do this with greater scale'.

Kantar Retail has 26 offices in 15 countries worldwide, and is online at www.kantarretail.com . Its new partner is on the web at www.peopleway.net .
