At Point B, innovation and growth aren't just buzzwords – they're integral to how we drive performance and support our people. Recognizing that a company's strength lies in the capabilities of its people, we're proud to announce a game-changing chapter in our Learning & Development (L&D) strategy. Spearheaded by Kelsey Carter, Manager of People Programs, this program blends innovation, accessibility, and personalization to ensure every Point Ber thrives in their career while contributing to our collective success.
Kelsey shared her insight into our evolving approach, stating, “Our main objective is to align learning solutions with the firm's goals. Dynamic experiences such as stretch assignments, workshops, virtual learning, and other formats are helping us create an ecosystem that provides value to everyone in real-time.”
At the heart of this transformation is the recognition that every individual learns differently. Whether you excel in live training sessions, prefer bite-sized on-demand videos, or flourish through mentorship and real-world projects, our new program meets people where they are on their learning journeys.
