Sims Ltd., which is based in Australia and has extensive metal and electronics recycling operations in the United States, has earned the 2022 Customer Excellence Award: Commitment to Global Compliance at the Brainier Learning User Conference, which was held in Minneapolis in mid-September.
Sims says it earned the award for its “efforts to successfully promote and encourage engagement using its internal learning management platform, the Sims University Learning Center.”
“This commitment to invest in resources that support individual growth and development of our greatest asset – our employees – demonstrates that we are living our purpose, vision and values,” says Brad Baker, group chief human resources officer at Sims Ltd. “It’s encouraging to see that our work to upskill and engage employees using the Sims University Learning Center is being recognized externally.”
Baker continues, “Our global learning and development team puts a considerable amount of time and effort into encouraging participation – and for good reason. These tools not only support the personal and professional progress of our employees, but they also support the safety of everyone who enters our sites, the productivity of our operations, and the sustainability of our services.”
In 2019, Sims says it selected the Brainier learning management system to facilitate the launch of the Sims University Learning Center. Use of this platform has enabled employees from all over the world to access work-related information, assessments and training materials.
As of fiscal year 2022, Sims employees completed more than 130,000 courses via the Sims University Learning Center. The company offers approximately 1,000 employee training and development courses in six different languages, covering topics related to operations, safety, professional development, systems and technology, leadership and management development, and ethics and compliance.
Sims says it supports the continuous learning and personal development of each employee and continues to add more learning opportunities and programs to increase their skill levels.
