Extra Space Storage Renews Partnership

<p><strong>Sunrise, Fla. &mdash; Aug. 21</strong><br />Learn.com, a provider of on-demand workforce development and productivity, has announced that Extra Space Storage Inc., the second-largest operator of self-storage in the United States and a national owner, developer, acquirer and operator of professionally managed self-storage properties, has renewed its partnership with the company for an additional three years.<br /><br />&ldquo;The LearnCenter platform has allowed us to redesign the way we deliver new hire training to our field organization &mdash; we now have a blended approach of online learning coupled with on-the-job training,” Vice President Karen Langham said. “This has allowed us to do a much more thorough job of training our new employees. We also deliver training for new programs more quickly and with better quality. </p><p>&ldquo;The boost to our organization&rsquo;s ROI has been remarkable. Since implementing the LearnCenter platform, our new hire turnover (turnover in the first 90 days of employment) has decreased from 10.85 percent pre-LearnCenter to 7.5 percent post-LearnCenter. The LearnCenter platform has given our learning department a lot of credibility within the organization. We are one of the only companies in our industry to use a learning management system, and this has given us a strategic advantage over our competitors in terms of our people and how well they are trained.&rdquo; </p>
