Engagement: Envoy partnered with SCPA Works to create a learning community of employers focused on building new employee initiatives. Envoy designed a curriculum and virtual learning platform, provided instruction on effective policies and practices, developed customized tools and resources, and provided direct support and coaching to help drive implementation. This collaborative learning community enabled employers to share best practices, learn from each other's experiences, and collectively drive meaningful progress in strengthening their workforce development efforts.

​

Results: Envoy successfully implemented a multi-month learning series that engaged five participating companies in discussions and activities focused on implementing new workplace initiatives. A learning hub was developed to facilitate instruction, offering a centralized platform for resources, materials, and shared best practices. Additionally, one-on-one coaching sessions were made available to provide tailored support for each company's unique challenges. The series equipped participants with practical tools and strategies to drive meaningful improvements in their hiring processes and employee engagement efforts.
