| PALO ALTO, Calif., August 1, 2002_CPP, Inc., a leading provider of innovative solutions for training, development, career management, and transition, in partnership with Training, a professional development magazine that advocates training and workforce development as a business tool, today announced CPP's membership in the Leadership Alliance of the 2003 Training Top 100, an annual ranking of companies unsurpassed in delivering, encouraging, and leveraging training within their own ranks.
"For more than 45 years, CPP has built a solid foundation and tradition of providing products with extensive social impact, and those products now serve 84 of the Fortune 100," said David Krantz, CPP president and CEO. "From this position, we're proud to be a part of a different top 100-companies that are committed to excellence in training as part of their strategic business goals and organizational culture, just as CPP is."
"The Training Top 100 is a tribute to business organizations for their efforts in creating true learning organizations, not only for the betterment of their companies' fiscal well-being, but for the diverse individuals that constitute their workforces as well," explains Stacey Marmolejo, group publisher of Training. "It's incredibly rewarding to see the lengths to which leading organizations will go to encourage the pooling and sharing of knowledge and emotional intelligence for the betterment of their staff. CPP is a great fit for this endeavor, and we're pleased to have them as a member of the Leadership Alliance."
Last year's top five honorees, in descending order, were Pfizer, Capitol One, AmeriCredit, IBM, and KLA-Tencor. Selection is based on information supplied by the company, including quantitative data on how training is linked to the organization's business goals and objectives, what metrics are used to evaluate the effectiveness of training, and an example of a benchmark training initiative. The qualitative data collected includes the number of training professionals on staff, policy information on tuition reimbursement, the company's training budget as a percentage of payroll, and the number of hours of formal, planned training employees receive annually.
After collecting all the applications, Training's editorial staff conducts in-depth analysis and assessment of the data the applicants have provided. Training, in partnership with the other Leadership Alliance members, will announce the 2003 Training Top 100 at an awards ceremony in Atlanta, Georgia, February 23, 2003.
