As a company specialised in the highly competitive HR-services and temporary- employment market, Randstad is acutely aware of the importance of giving managers continual support and enabling them to develop the skills necessary to flourish in an ever-changing environment.


In order to facilitate this, Randstad recently teamed up with CrossKnowledge and over the next two years will implement the company's highly flexible distance-learning solutions. The new learning programme will target an audience composed primarily of managers.

Partially using CrossKnowledge solutions, the Learning & Development department at Randstad Belgium provides ninety percent of the company's training solutions to ensure that the learning programmes implemented represent the main pillar in the development of its people, a consideration that is central to Randstad's core values.

It is also crucial for Randstad to see its key managers develop critical skills. As Randstad works with relatively young managers (especially in the field), a strong focus on building broader internal capabilities is particularly desirable. The fact that CrossKnowledge is a member of the EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development), the global authority on management education, demonstrates their suitability as a service provider.
