Project focuses on delivering in-app training
to create inclusive workplaces on Webex
SAN
FRANCISCO, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Emtrain, a company providing eLearning and analytics to
create inclusive workplaces by developing pro-social skills, and
Cisco are announcing a partnership to integrate Emtrain's training
modules through WebEx's collaboration solutions. This is one of the
first projects of a broader partnership with Cisco to support
workplace culture in a changing hybrid workplace.
With Emtrain, Webex users can now engage and train employees
across their global workforce with timely and relevant content
focusing on real-life workplace scenarios. These ready-to-go
resources via Webex will address issues such as harassment, respect
and unconscious bias, inclusion, and LGBTQIA+.
"At Cisco, we know that inclusion and diversity fuel possibility
and innovation and benefit all of our stakeholders tremendously. We
rely on Emtrain to support this mission-critical culture-building,"
said Fran Katsoudas, Cisco EVP and
Chief People, Policy & Purpose Officer. "I am thrilled that we
can now access Emtrain right from within Webex where we all spend
our day. This integration keeps culture top of mind and gives our
employees easy access to powerful e-Learning and workplace
management content."
"Cisco recognizes that the entire nature of how and where we
work has changed, and that means we need new approaches to
developing a conscious culture," said Emtrain founder and CEO
Janine Yancey. "Francine Katsoudas, Cisco's Chief HR Officer,
had the foresight to see how Emtrain's powerful eLearning solution
combined with Webex's innovative hybrid work solutions creates a
unique opportunity to develop inclusive skills right in the flow of
work where workers are already engaged."
Emtrain will be available on Webex starting this June, free to
everyone after an Emtrain account creation.
