Leadership Development
At the global level, Agility's LDP program provides directors and senior managers with current, relevant training on strategy, leadership and change management. LDP participants work in teams on projects critical to the company's transformation, including the improvement of operations productivity, sales effectiveness and the continued development of Agility GIL's broader strategy. The program design matches stretch assignments with disciplined learning and a coaching environment.
At the regional level, the MDP enables senior managers and junior level executives with successful track records to get access to relevant learning and development to accelerate the ability of our people to meet today's and tomorrow's challenges. Participants work with teammates from different cultures and backgrounds across the region and receive Board-level mentorship.
For our leaders on the front-lines, Agility's Branch Manager Excellence program aims to improve business results by increasing organizational capacity via improved management of human capital, fostering a culture of P&L ownership, improving employee morale with stronger leadership and improved HR skills, continually upgrading talent and skills of this critical organizational level, and strengthening the internal succession pipeline.
Leadership Development
FIC enables the documentation of facility inspections to be automated and the results of such inspections to be captured for further action. The action and status of the non-compliances can be monitored and tracked to completion. The application is able to capture the records of a facility inspection in a non WiFi/ 3G/ 4G environment and transmit the report once the device in back in network range.
“Leadership development is core to GIL’s strategy. We are building leaders at every level of our organization who share our values and commitment to create a high performing organization that delivers for our customers, employees and communities.”
