Research and education provider John Wiley and Sons has announced new partnerships with Care.com, Headspace, and LinkedIn Learning to Wiley colleagues, in addition to some of the powerful digital learning content and services the company offers to its customers. This announcement reaffirms Wiley's overall strategy to create a technology-driven colleague culture that focuses on the well-being, learning and development, diversity and inclusion, and flexibility for its colleagues across the globe.
Wiley takes a 360-degree approach to the well-being of her colleagues. Wiley has developed a comprehensive health plan that emphasizes on the physical, emotional, social and financial health of its employees. The company has announced that its employees would receive a free annual subscription to Headspace, a well-known meditation, mindfulness and sleep app. Additionally, the employees will also receive virtual well-being offerings, including group fitness activities, stress management training, and a series of financial well-being webinars throughout 2021 and beyond.
Wiley welcomes the future of work for its colleagues and increases flexibility for families. Late last year, Wiley introduced a new working model that will give many colleagues the option to work in the office, remotely, or a balance of both – based on company guidelines - when the company determines it is safe to reopen its offices. Additionally, in the US, Wiley has partnered with Sylvan Learning to offer discounted tutoring and education support for children, as well as Care@Work by Care.com to offer a suite of family care benefits for all eligible colleagues, giving extra support with tutors, senior caregivers, pet walkers and sitters, and more.
Wiley is also introducing new learning and development capabilities, empowering colleagues to unlock their potential. To power learning at Wiley, the company is leveraging its own world-class solutions, giving colleagues free access to the powerful digital content and services Wiley provides to its customers, including robust leadership training offered through its learning experience platform CrossKnowledge. Wiley will also be among the first customers to adopt Wiley Beyond, a new education assistance solution that gives employees access to affordable and flexible degree and certification programs to continue upskilling and reskilling throughout their career.
The company has also announced a partnership with LinkedIn Learning to provide free access to a digital library of over 6,000 self-directed courses covering a wide range of technical, business, software and creative topics. LinkedIn Learning will also help drive critical DE&I training, enabling Wiley to continue building a better, more inclusive workplace.
With more than 7,000 colleagues worldwide in over 22 countries, Wiley is delivering tech-enabled products and services that drive outcomes for the world’s researchers, learners, and professionals. This announcement highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to empower its employees and drive global impact, meeting an ever-growing demand for scientific research and online education.
