For an exponentially growing organisation like Reliance Retail, diverse learning needs had to be addressed through customised and personalised skill development opportunities. To become a future-ready organisation that could achieve this, they broke down the entire employee life-cycle into five stages of growth. And in each of these stages, upGrad Work Better came to play a critical role through their Campus to Corporate and Building People for the Future programs.
