Justyna Prasek’s expertise lies in people skills and leadership development, while Lauren Fergus focuses on content creation for online learning and Learning Management System (LMS) operations.

The enlarged team can offer a variety of training, delivered both face-to-face and online to create tailor-made, engaging and effective learning materials including the use of animation.

Together the team will focus on interactivity and scenario-based learning, as well as integrating the use of technology to make learning more relatable and targeted to specific PJH roles.

Speaking about the new team, PJH learning and development manager Dawn Kennedy said: “We have invested in and enlarged the L&D team to respond better to the diverse needs of the PJH workforce.

“We are now able to offer enhanced face-to-face and online learning in different ways, allowing employees to access a huge amount of content that is relevant to their role at the click of a button and at any time.

“The face-to-face learning components work alongside our online platform, allowing learners to book sessions online, receive certificates, and engage interactively during in-person sessions”.

PJH’s L&D program offers 600 courses with more than more than 900 enrolments completed, 18,000 self-enrolments, 1,433 hours of online learning consumed, and 4.9 out of 5 employee satisfaction rating.

A “Points for Modules” system, rewarding learners with “Points for Prizes,” has further motivated employee engagement and learning.
