Case Study: Johnson & Johnson and Sigma boost nurses’ leadership skills with LinkedIn Learning

Johnson & Johnson and Sigma achieve 80% course completion with LinkedIn Learning

The customer, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing (Sigma), identified a challenge where early-career bedside nurses often felt underprepared and lacked confidence in essential personal leadership and resilience skills, which are not traditionally covered in pre-clinical academic curricula.

The vendor, LinkedIn Learning, provided its platform and courses for a two-month pilot program. Sigma's experts curated a series of nine leadership courses focused on competencies like communication and conflict resolution. The solution achieved an 80% average course completion rate, with 100% of surveyed nurses affirming the program was worth their time. Participants reported moderate improvement in their leadership skills and found the training provided critical "just-in-time" skills during the COVID-19 pandemic.
