“GrowTheBench solves a critical need in our industry to develop our people, invest in them and grow our workforce from within,” Harwood said. “Think of GrowTheBench as the Amazon of online education for our industry. If you care deeply about the future of our industry and want to be part of something special, you’ll want to be part of the GrowTheBench community.”
The initial course library consists of more than 80 online class modules, each lasting 15-20 minutes. The courses are focused on key positions such as crew leaders, front-line managers, salespeople, business developers and account managers. Courses for senior management, leadership team and owners are also available.
Available at launch are courses focused on professional fundamentals, management foundations, developing great crew leaders, effective time management, high-performance coaching and more.
Facilitated online peer groups for each functional area of the company will supplement the courses.
The mobile-friendly courses are available 24/7 and viewable with a 4G or Wi-Fi connection. An “all-access pass” is available for $97 per month per user.
