Mohawk Again Makes Training Top 125 List

Dalton, GA, March 9, 2010--Mohawk Industries has again been named as one of Training Magazine’s “Top 125” training organizations. 

The Training Magazine “Top 125” is a benchmark among Fortune 500 companies for Training and Learning Development.

To qualify, company training organizations are measured, selected and ranked on both quantitative and qualitative data.  An independent research and statistical data company makes recommendations to the magazine, which selects the winning organizations.   

Mohawk’s learning organizations cross all divisions of Mohawk Industries, including Dal-tile University, Unilin, Mohawk Home, Logistics, Customer Service, Human Resources, and Mohawk University.

“In many ways, continuous learning is the new normal,” said Mike Zoellner, Vice President of Marketing Services. 

Throughout 2010, Mohawk’s retail training arm, Mohawk University, is rolling out entirely new programs to help dealers manage tough economic times and find new avenues for building business.

Tim Gray, director of Mohawk University, said that in 2010, Mohawk has partnered with top training resources to introduce brand new courses to Mohawk University.

The new classes are based on retailer input and from what Mohawk has learned by looking at successes in other businesses. 

New courses include Techniques of Professional Selling, a comprehensive sales training course from Don Hutson of U.S. Learning that is offered in 24 modules that can be viewed in the retailer’s store; and Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, a course offered in partnership with the internationally-recognized training organization Franklin Covey.
