Chesterfield County Ranked 38th On Training Magazine’s ‘top 125′

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA – Chesterfield County has again earned international recognition for the third consecutive year by placing 38th on Training magazine’s Top 125 for 2009, an annual ranking of organizations with employee-sponsored workforce training and development. Chesterfield County moved up from a 45th place ranking in 2008 and 53rd in 2007. The rankings are based on how an organization fosters its employees’ learning, development and relationships within the organization. The factors that influenced the rankings included: training tied to business objectives, number of trainers, employee turnover and retention, leadership development, tuition reimbursement, Corporate University certification, measurement and evaluation; and dollars spent on training employees. “Our success depends in part on how we value every person in the organization, and training and development enhances that value,” says Jay Stegmaier, County Administrator. Training magazine is a 42-year-old professional-development publication that advocates training and work-force development as a business tool. Since their inception nine years ago, the Training Top 125 annual awards have been bestowed upon companies that foster learning, development and relationships. The first-place recipient in 2009 was PricewaterhouseCoopers for the second year in a row.
