STATE STREET CORPORATION

With more than $9.4 trillion in assets under custody and in excess of $1.1 trillion under management, State Street Corporation is a world leader in financial services.

To provide equal opportunity to all employees and expand diversity in the organization, State Street engaged CDT to build a comprehensive career management program. The system we implemented with State Street includes:
  • Training employees in effective career management and the use of the online tool, DevelopmentWorks®.

  • Training managers to coach and support their employees in career management.

  • Providing a Train-the-Trainer program for State Street in-house delivery of both workshops.

  • Providing a site license for DevelopmentWorks® for State Street employees world-wide.

To date, more than 20,000 State Street employees have access to DevelopmentWorks®. The organization continues to roll out the workshops across the United States and in many of their overseas facilities. TOP


SCHLUMBERGER

Schlumberger Limited is the world's leading oilfield services company supplying technology, project management and information solutions that optimize performance for customers working in the international oil and gas industry.

Because Schlumberger employees work in small groups around the world, the company sought an online solution to providing high quality career management training to employees everywhere. The process begins when employees request a Career Orientation Review (COR) with their managers. In order to schedule the review, they have to complete our Internet-based CareerPortrait® assessment, which has been customized to include recommended company positions appropriate to the individual's style as part of the assessment results. CareerPortrait® is available to all 60,000 Schlumberger employees.

THE DOW CHEMICAL COMPANY

Dow is a leader in science and technology, providing innovative chemical, plastic and agricultural products and services to many essential consumer markets. With annual sales of $33 billion, Dow serves customers in more than 180 countries and a wide range of markets that are vital to human progress, including food, transportation, health and medicine, personal and home care, and building and construction, among others.

To support the Dow "People Success" program, CDT:
  • Wrote the Trainer's Guide and participant materials for a highly customized one-day workshop "Managing Your Career With Power."

  • Supervised the translation of all materials into French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch.

  • Provided camera-ready copy of all materials for Dow printing services in multiple languages.

  • Trained Dow trainers in the delivery of the program in North and South America, Europe, and the Far East.

  • Licensed the program for 10,000 employees.

  • Extended the license to the use of DevelopmentWorks® on the Web for employees who could not attend workshops. TOP

HERSHEY CORPORATION

Hershey is the leading North American manufacturer of quality chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery and chocolate-related grocery products, and has a variety of international operations.

Due to a major market shift with the accompanying need for a change in the size and structure of the organization, Hershey brought in a new CEO from outside the "family." Employees were offered the opportunity to select an "early out" or to take responsibility for finding an appropriate career within the new organization. To support this effort, CDT:
  • Provided career management training to a large proportion of Hershey employees.

  • Trained Hershey managers to coach their employees toward job and career growth.

  • Provided individual coaching to selected managers.
The program has been credited with assisting in a successful shift in the Hershey organizational culture toward a more responsible, self-reliant, and contributive work force. TOP
