Video Game Show Teaches Gift Rules at Lockheed Martin (2017 Case Study)
For Lockheed Martin, rules involving gifts and business courtesies are complex and vary country by country. The company needed a new method of training that would focus on key points of the compliance policy and provide employees resources to apply the confusing set of rules to specific situations. To meet those goals, the training team collaborated with stakeholders and SMEs to design an interactive, video game show that puts employees “on stage” to answer questions and offers them “LM Lifelines” if they want help. The program earned Lockheed Martin a Gold Award for Best Use of Video in the 2017 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
Compliance Training Reflects GoDaddy’s Culture, Humor (2017 Case Study)
GoDaddy addressed the critical subjects of conduct and security awareness for employees by using eLearning with interaction, multi-media, and content that reflected the positive, humorous aspects of company culture.

For security awareness, users had to identify red flags within emails and phone calls and manipulate different aspects of password creation. The initiative earned GoDaddy a Bronze Award for Best Advance in Custom Content in the 2017 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
MLPCARE Reduces Costs By Changing Labor Allocation (2017 Case Study)
Leaders at Turkey-based MLPCARE, aware they needed to reduce labor costs and still focus on care quality, developed a system to allocate labor based on demand for service at its 28 hospitals rather than on bed capacity. The new system manages headcount by using monthly trends at each hospital and the needs of its service units. The new model improves productivity, better allocates resources, and minimizes the cost of overtime. Designed and implemented by the HR team within 1.5 months, the employee cost/net income ratio decreased by nearly 2% in 2016. MLPCARE earned a Bronze Award for Best Unique or Innovative Workforce Management Program in the 2017 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.

The training team conveyed the content as a broadcast show titled “SD Countyline,” similar in methodology to the NBC television show “Dateline.” The course breaks into four sessions of approximately 30 minutes each to meet the two-hour state mandate. The County of San Diego Human Resources Department won a Gold Award for Best Advance in Compliance Training in the 2017 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards.
