From an innovative portal that enables leaders and their teams to
collaborate on development plans; to learning about current employees’
needs through “stay” interviews – as opposed to exit interviews; from
summer internships and an executive mentoring program to creating a
one-of-a-kind senior leadership development; the creation of a fully
gamified learning platform; to creating employee resources groups that
partner with outside community groups; among other initiatives, GameStop
has created a comprehensive workforce development program that is
focused on bringing out the best in its employees and its business.
Through their workforce development initiatives, GameStop has delivered
enviable talent retention results amid an historically low national
unemployment rate.
Matthew Hirst, senior director of Talent, OD & Learning for GameStop,
said about the award, “We feel especially honored to be recognized by
the business and learning leaders at DeVryWORKS, with whom we’ve
worked closely to develop and build valuable tools and resources that
enable our people to learn and grow at GameStop. We’re always working
hard to improve our programs, with a goal of delivering an associate
experience where every person in our organization feels both recognized
for their unique contributions to the GameStop family and supported in
working towards their career goals. We’re especially grateful to receive
this award, which reflects the commitment and hope we have for our
associates to find purpose and meaning in their work.”
“At DeVry, these TEACH values define us, how we are guided and the
decisions we make in support of our students and employer partners,”
said Joe Mozden, vice president of DeVryWORKS. “As such, we want
to recognize those organizations that apply these values within the
context of our partnership as their education provider. We commend
GameStop for their efforts to bring their own values to life and
ensuring their employees are engaged, passionate and empowered in their
careers.”
