Mohawk Named to Top 125 Training List Again

Dalton, GA, Feb. 11, 2011 -- For the fifth year in a row, Mohawk Industries has been named as one of Training Magazine’s “Top 125” training organizations, ranking in the Top 20 among the Fortune 500 companies reviewed for this past year.  

The Training Magazine “Top 125” is considered the most elite ranking among major corporations for Training and Learning Development.

Farmer’s Insurance was the number one ranked company for this year.  Among other organizations included in the winners were Microsoft (9th), Verizon Wireless (4th), McDonalds (24th), CarMax (37th), FedEx (70th), MasterCard (81st), and UPS (103rd).

Mohawk was recognized for a variety of training efforts throughout the year.  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.  

Mike Zoellner, vice president of marketing services, noted that training is particularly valuable to Mohawk’s retail partners in this economy. 

“In 2010, we created new tools for managing and improving business,” he said.  “We have partnered with organizations like Franklin Covey and U.S. Learning to give our retailers access to some of the most professional training programs in the nation.  And stores who’ve used them report significant bottom-line results, ranging from better margins to improved closing rates.”
