The goal was rapid adoption by 1,200 leaders, including nearly 700 frontline managers and supervisors, distributed across a wide geographic area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leadership Essentials is distinct from typical e-learning in several ways. It is an eight-week, semi-synchronous, self-paced, time-bound leadership-development learning journey supporting cohorts of 75 to 125 learners at a time, allowing for the rapid, scaled rollout needed for Transamerica\u2019s large leader population. Since Leadership Essentials is largely comprised of asynchronous components and is delivered digitally, it allows Transamerica to place leaders from across geographic regions and departments in each cohort. This contributes to cross-discipline collaboration and establishes a sustained network of leaders across the company. The program was built recognizing the need for human interaction, so the experience includes a professional leadership coach and an experienced moderator. Interactive elements (like discussion boards, scenarios, polls, and questions) are included every week to drive collaboration and peer coaching on each subject. This peer bonding is a key element of the program for Transamerica as they seek to build a more cohesive leadership culture across their large enterprise. Synchronous components of the program include cohort discussions with peers and the cohort\u2019s leadership coach and two live calls with the senior executive sponsor at Transamerica to bookend the experience and build community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-emagine-spacer wp-block-emagine-spacer--md\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A 12-week development process with <strong>deep contextualization for business needs<\/strong> and learner personas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <strong>8-week blended learning journey<\/strong> \u2013 with live coaching and peer interaction throughout<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>30+ customized communication pieces<\/strong> for learners, their managers, and other key stakeholders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An average <strong>NPS rating of 57<\/strong> (scores above 50 are considered \u2018excellent\u2019)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Average self-reported engagement scores increased from <strong>81% pre-program to 94% post-program<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Long-term engagement survey data show <strong>significant increases in manager effectiveness<\/strong> in those that have attended the program vs. those that have not<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"text-format-block_ac80089547402d9902f323af931e2e79\" class=\"gp-text-format\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As a working manager, I don\u2019t often get the time to read and reflect \u2026 I like the variety of information, assessment, reflection, sharing, quizzes \u2026documents we can download, and interactive fun.
