Belated Valentine’s love to our partners

We’re delighted to congratulate our strategic partners LIW on their selection for a Leadership Excellence award in the category of Best Global/International Leadership Program. Big shout out to Pia Lee and the team at LIW for their outstanding work.

The award has been given for a People Manager Development Program at Tate & Lyle – a British based multinational agribusiness.

We have been partnering with LIW on this award winning program at Tate & Lyle over the last 4 years, supporting program delivery with a robust transfer of learning solution to ensure participants stay true to the commitments in their action plans set at the program and to help them to drive to measurable business outcomes. It is a real joy to see LIW acknowledged for the quality that they deliver, and also Tate & Lyle for their commitment to developing leaders.

The People Manager Development Program was designed to empower frontline leaders and their teams to work more effectively together and to take accountability for delivering business outcomes.

Participant performance highlights include:

  • 82% of participants report having achieved improved outcomes for the business
  • Average performance improvement reported by all participants is 19%, equivalent to almost one extra day/week
  • Greatest areas of impact are improved efficiency, increased engagement and strengthened relationships with internal stakeholders.
  • 68% report being more engaged since attending the program
  • 71% report their teams are more engaged since they attended the program

What an honour to be recognised by the Leadership Excellence Awards, which are sponsored by HR.com, the largest online community for HR professionals. More than 4,500 companies applied for this year’s awards and 600,000 people voted on their programs to provide the most comprehensive ratings ever produced.

From the horse’s mouth!

“LIW is delighted and proud to have partnered with Tate & Lyle to design and deliver this award-winning program consistently building great leadership across their global organisation. Working with Tate & Lyle has been a true partnership which has enabled us to deliver business-critical results through leadership.” 

Mark Ferguson, Program Manager, LIW

“Effective leadership development programs and activities are a must in today’s business. Without leadership, all other resources are ineffective, whether you are operating a non-profit, educational institution, government department, small business or a large corporation. Programs recognized in the Leadership Excellence Awards program have made significant contributions to developing leaders.”

Debbie McGrath, CEO of HR.com
