Recommendation

What do finance executives seek from learning and HR programs? Susan Meyer, head of Talent and Inclusion Strategy for Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. (MMC), and Matthew Cunningham, chief financial officer of the MMC firm Oliver Wyman, take the stage at the 2018 Degreed LENS conference to answer this popular question. They discuss the success of their Finance Academy, an internal learning platform and community that grew from a Degreed learning infrastructure. This detailed overview will appeal to business and finance executives and HR strategists alike.

Take-Aways

  • The notion that employees are an organization’s top asset is fading among CEOs, but that’s wrong: Your employees’ skills are vital “currency.”
  • Beating your competitors at finding and keeping skilled employees generates value for your firm. 
  • At Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. (MMC), a collaboration between finance and L&D led to establishing the Finance Academy, a learning platform and community for finance employees.
