The Milwaukee-based distributor has developed an approach aimed at successfully onboarding new associates as well as helping current ones identify and reach their own professional goals.

We’re making sure people have that opportunity to learn, while at the same time, we’re showing them we are committed to their success,” Cassie Petty, vice president, HR and Quality Assurance at Standard said, via tED magazine. “Our goal all along has been to create a sustainable, customized program. It looks totally different from where we started 20-plus years ago with our training.”
