Capital One Financial Inc

This article focuses on employee training at Capital One Financial Corp., based in McLean, Virginia. Capital One's Leaders as Teachers program is an example of how executives champion learning as a critical driver of business success. Executives bring their experiences and insights as leaders to engage participants in conversations about current business goals, successes, and challenges. This initiative sends an enterprise-wide message that learning and development is at the core of the company's corporate values. Senior leaders actively design and facilitate courses and discussions on a number of topics, sharing personal, real-life experiences pertinent to the company, and in many cases teaching other associates about highly specialized topics not available elsewhere.
