GuyKat Reaches UK Company Culture Award Final for Outstanding Graduate Scheme
International eLearning company GuyKat has been named a finalist for the UK Company Culture Awards in the 'Best Employee Development Programme' category for its Graduate Trainee Scheme. This prestigious recognition is a testament to GuyKat's commitment to providing a complete online learning experience that focuses on human-centred technology, engaging instructional design, and expert project consultancy.
GuyKat's mission is to maximise the potential of an organisation's workforce through planning, creating and implementing online learning solutions. With a client portfolio that includes Amnesty International, Kiehl's, and La-Z-Boy, the company has established a global reputation for outstanding work over the last decade in the eLearning industry.
Since the scheme's launch in 2019, the company has grown from 10 to nearly 46 employees in just over 3 years. 100% of participants in the Graduate Scheme transition into a permanent role within the company. Currently, there are 20 members of staff that have either completed the Graduate Scheme or are currently enrolled. In 2022, the company's most successful year to date in terms of revenue, GuyKat had its largest intake of grads, totalling 15 new team members.
The training initiative is a cornerstone of GuyKat's employee development program, offering candidates an opportunity to gain hands-on experience and exposure to many diverse roles within the company. This program helps candidates make informed decisions about their future career paths within the company, ultimately leading to a more engaged and fulfilled workforce.
The trainee initiative feeds into GuyKat’s vibrant and dynamic company culture by contributing to their core values of innovation, collaboration, and continuous improvement. The Graduate Trainee Scheme has hugely contributed to maintaining the company ethos at GuyKat, and has helped the company retain its core values whilst being able to scale.
"We are thrilled to be named a finalist for the UK Company Culture Awards in the 'Best Employee Development Programme' category," said Guy McEvoy, CEO of GuyKat. "Our Graduate Trainee Scheme is a testament to our commitment to employee development and our belief that investing in our people is the key to our success.”
GuyKat is looking forward to the awards ceremony being held in London on 4th May 2023 and meeting the other finalists. The event promises to be an exciting and inspiring occasion for anyone interested in building strong and healthy company cultures.
