Los Angeles, California / ACCESSWIRE / August 27, 2024 / Global healthcare company Cencora (#10 on the 2024 Fortune 500 list) and partner Handcrafted Learning received the “Best Corporate Culture Transformation” award, continuing Cencora’s track record of leading the industry in both business outcomes and culture.
The Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards recognise best practice in human resources, talent acquisition and management, and learning and development initiatives. Sencora and Handcraft Learning are A multi-year, data-driven strategy to foster a culture of inclusion among our global workforce. Led by Cencora’s Chief DEI Officer, Ann Anaya, and partnering with behavioral experts and culture change strategists from Handcrafted Learning, Cencora’s Global Inclusion Initiative has visibly increased inclusion metrics at a time when the business is expanding globally.
Rachel Teeter, managing director of Handcrafted Learning, hosts interactive workshops for Cencora’s nonprofit partners.
Starting in 2022, a company-wide global inclusion initiative was developed by and for a broad audience: frontline employees, corporate employees, and senior leaders in every country where Cencora operates. In 2023, all AmerisourceBergen companies and services were unified under the new name, Cencora. This change was an opportunity for all team members in more than 50 countries to co-create Cencora's culture.
“This strategy was designed to engage and empower team members,” says Gem Moon, director of design at Handcrafted Learning. “Rather than a one-way communication of Cencora culture, we gave team members at all levels practice opportunities to implement new behaviors.”
To achieve this, Cencora and Handcrafted Learning went beyond one-size-fits-all compliance training to develop targeted, interactive solutions that measure employee experience metrics and track environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals to change behavior for specific teams, functions, roles, and geographies.
“Gone are the days of offering off-the-shelf unconscious bias training and saying you've addressed inclusion,” Anaya says. “Cencora has focused on effectively measuring inclusion and creating action-oriented training to drive objective, measurable outcomes and build a global culture of inclusion. Our DEI Center of Excellence aims to positively impact the broader inclusion ecosystem by supporting our leaders, partners, customers and stakeholders around the world to drive growth and innovation through inclusion.”
In addition to the Gold award for “Best Corporate Culture Change,” Cencora and Handcrafted Learning also received Gold awards for “Best HR Strategy and Measurement Approach,” “Best Learning Measurement,” and “Best Program to Measure Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.”
