What is EMC’s strategy for internally training employees?
EMC empowers its employees to create their own career paths and provides them with the tools and training to achieve their goals. We support this effort with a robust training and development curriculum comprised of hundreds of in-classroom and virtual courses offered through EMC University (EMCU). Classes can be technical, organizational specific (manufacturing, sales, or engineering), or business and leadership focused. Some examples are “Business Writing—Write to the Top,” “Advanced Negotiation Skills,” and “Managing Inclusion.” In addition, we provide employees with a full suite of talent management programs and processes, such as individual development plans (IDPs), which encourages ongoing career development discussions between managers and employees and provides employees with a formal action plan to attain their career goals. We require employees to build a new IDP with their supervisor every year. What approach does EMC take in its recruitment efforts and in what areas are you
