Case Study: SMS Equipment develops stronger leaders with Vital Learning

Growing a Business with the Best Leaders

SMS Equipment, a provider of heavy equipment and services, relied on its 2,500 employees for its success and faced the challenge of developing its managers and future leaders to continue its growth in the marketplace. To address this, the company partnered with Vital Learning to build a formal leadership development program.

Vital Learning's solution was a comprehensive, two-year program built on a foundation of their leadership courses. The blended solution consisted of three phases: initial eLearning courses from Vital Learning, followed by facilitated classroom sessions to expand on that content, and finally additional job-specific training. This program had a significant measurable impact, with 20% of participating employees being promoted to leadership roles after graduating, greatly improving organizational effectiveness and morale.
