hey guys ECR G here back with another video today we're going to be talking
about PPD being honored for superior training in the CRO workplace
so PPD has been recognized yet again for their superior employee development so
many of you guys who don't know PPD stands for pharmaceutical product
development and they are a top-five CRO they're pretty big we have a review
class no review coming for them in a in a while or so I don't know when exactly
that's coming out but we've done a whole review on a bunch of CEOs and PPD is one
of them but for the seventh consecutive year training magazine has named PPD to
its training top 125 list of businesses that Excel an employee Learning and
Development so this is of no surprise obviously PPD has been named that list
for seven consecutive years and in the industry in general in the clinical
research space in general PPD is really known for their education their learning
giving back to the employees and allowing them to grow and continue the
education pathway in clinical research and that's pretty much been the same way
the entire you know couple of years few years I've been in the industry that PPD
is well known for that education even you know Rick when I was getting my
first start in the industry recruiters would tell me you know if I can get in
at PPD that would be great and go there for a couple years and
really get that strong foundation for clinical research not to say that you
can't do that elsewhere but PPD just is really known for their learning and
education you know recently they rolled out well now recently last year 2017
they rolled out their clinical research associate training program and I think
they've had other training programs in the past as well but they rolled that
one out and they probably have other training
programs in-house obviously if they've been rated seven times to this training
magazines list but it really goes to show something about their culture you
know one of the quotes from the magazine is says at PPD we work to create
depth and implement innovative approaches to foster industry-leading
talent and culture that was the executive vice president judge Hartman
Judd Hartman who said that and it sounded like it's really something in
their culture that they live and breathe about the training and that's how it's
really done you know organizations are led from the
top down and so if the people at the top are really passionate about the training
and learning then it's gonna be made all the way down so I'm sure they have
different modules that have been created I'm sure the people that are teaching
all the courses are really well qualified and really good I know some
see a rose and this may not be true for all of them but some have people they
have dedicated trainers so they have people teaching the material who have
never actually done the role so for example they have people teaching
meeting minutes who have never taken meeting minutes for a you know for the
various type of meetings investigated meeting or you know the normal weekly
internal meetings or sponsor meetings or whatever they have people taking them in
teaching the meeting minutes who have never actually done it and so on and so
on they have people teaching things that they have never actually done in the
real world so I'm sure PPD does not know once again I've never worked there
before but I'm sure I mean it's probably pretty good and you know the article
just pretty much goes on to talk about how they really put an emphasis on
creating a best-in-class learning culture by having these programs that
people can take and are encouraged to take to better improve their career and
better improve themselves so that's that's really cool it's cool to have a
company in the CRO space that is known for the training and learning because
I'm this this training magazine includes not just clinical research includes
other areas as well so and even in the article it says that PPD has been seeing
this emphasis on learning paying off so you know one of the quotes
the unwavering focus on learning is paying off as PPD's learning culture
survey revealed the company's overall learning environment score was 9% ahead
of other companies scores so that's a pretty significant difference if they're
uh you know overall learning environment score is 9% ahead which is amazing so if
you're looking to get in clinical research or looking to being a more
learning focused organization please take a look at PPD because they seem to
be doing their thing on that front and I've definitely heard through the
grapevine that from other people who have worked with PPD or worked for PPD
that they do have a good focus on learning and it's not just for show
they're there for real about it which is amazing so just wanted to share that
news with you guys I don't know if that came across your radar about PPD I know
a lot of people are looking to break into the CRO space that listen to this
channel or if you listen to the podcast I would definitely we've got the podcast
