ABOUT THE AWARD
This award recognizes and celebrates the HR
team that has delivered the most outstanding
organizational benefits by directly linking the
training needs of their people, at all levels, to the
business needs of their organization.
SENECA offers more than an education. With
campuses throughout the Greater Toronto Area,
Seneca's size and diversity give students the
advantage of partnerships with industry leaders,
the latest in hands-on computer technology, a
variety of class sizes, and full-time, part-time and
continuing education options. Education should
be flexible and accessible, so Seneca also employs
various methods of teaching – from in-class
lectures and online learning to co-op and field
placements – in programs related to applied arts,
business, financial services and technology.

"For both the panel and the
participants, it's very gratifying
for the groups to get together
and realize we're dealing
with a lot of the same issues
in learning and development
and share ideas and hear what
people are focusing on and
how they're executing despite
the challenges."

At Sephora, as our business evolves, so do our people.
We empower them to chose their own path, accelerate
their growth and be their best selves. The pandemic
has not changed this core belief. We know that in the
changing retail landscape, it is critical to prepare our

for roles of the future now. Here are some
accomplishments, we are proud of:

Learning@home within a week of store and office
closures. Used this platform to deliver brand
education, leadership skill elevation, as well as core
Sephora curriculum and filled over 45K seats!
• Inspired our teams with frequent brand founder
led webinars- alternating between brand education
and inspiration.
• Launched Learning Labs for our offices in May,
100% digital @home engagement that created
learning & development opportunities across all
levels and filling 400+ seats.
• Continue investing in learning and development
opportunities for our stores and offices, now that
they have reopened. As we look to the future, we
continue believing in the endless evolution of
our talent.
