We live by our values

Hunger to Learn is one of our core values, something that as STLers we have always held close to our hearts. We do not look at learning as a “one-time process” that begins and ends, but as an everlasting, truly enjoyable journey. No matter if someone is 25-days or 25 years old at STL, we learn and grow alike all along the journey.

Helping STLers create their own learning path

To drive continuous learning and upskilling across STL, we empower STLers to kindle their own fire for learning. Therefore, they self-design their learning journeys and include milestones that resonate with their learning needs. This makes training need identification a fruitful exercise tailored to an individual’s unique learning requirements. Simultaneously, we also integrate the recommendations from the leadership and respective managers to enhance the value of a program. As they say, good thoughts and actions never produce bad results. The exercise of identifying training needs helps create a robust and comprehensive Global Learning Catalogue.

What’s inside our learning suite?

Our unique Learning Suite aligns an individual’s learning requirements with the overall vision of STL. As part of the learning suite, we have programs such as ACT UP, Evolve, Accelerate, Elevate, People First, and the Learning Architecture.

ACT Up provides STL’s young talent a golden opportunity to pitch transformational ideas to the organization’s leadership. High-potential programs like Evolve and Accelerate help us develop and nurture high-potential talent. To acknowledge the managers who act as a light to help their team members see, we launched People First. As part of this program, an identified group of managers goes through a meticulous learning journey. Upon successful completion of their journey, those managers act as agents to drive meaningful changes across STL. The top Leadership goes through a program called Elevate that brings them world-class learnings that they can directly integrate into their strategies and experiences. The Learning Architecture offers a suite of over 30+ programs cutting across professional and leadership competencies to cater to the learning needs of all employees across STL globally.

Beyond these programs, we cultivate a growth mindset by asking STLers to constantly challenge the status quo, try fast, and fail fast! Our numbers are proof that we walk the talk. We have already crossed a landmark of 40,000 learning hours, 88+ certified STLer managers, 60+ career movements through ACT Up, and 25 Innovation Coaches who closed last year! We also felicitated 35 participants as part of “Accelerate,” another 32 participants as part of “Evolve,” and 40+ are pursuing Elevate currently!
