Marino and Yancy point out three key reasons why Kaplan employees give the company high marks:
- Community: Creating a sense of belonging, especially in a fully remote environment, involves innovative approaches. The Kaplan 4 Kaplan engagement team brings employees together through various virtual events, such as trivia, escape rooms, cooking classes, and other unique activities. And the New Hire Ambassador program ensures new hires have a connection outside of their direct teams. Another example where Kaplan supports employee comradery is through the Kaplan Cares initiative, in which employees are encouraged to use their paid volunteer time off hours together within their communities, when possible.

Learning and Development: Our
Develop U Virtual Conference , initiated in 2021, has become a pivotal part of Kaplan’s employee development. With around 60 sessions annually, covering topics from leadership to health and wellness to best practices to harness the power of artificial intelligence, the multiweek initiative exemplifies the company’s belief in knowledge-sharing. Develop U was a key reason why Kaplan was a winner of the Association for Talent Development’s prestigious BEST Awards, the industry’s most rigorous and coveted recognition. -
Recognition: Appreciating and celebrating employees' achievements are integral to Kaplan’s organizational culture. Through awards like the
Kaplan Way Award (KWA) and Spirit of Kaplan, as well as intra-departmental recognition programs, Kaplan ensures that commendation and gratitude are part of its everyday operations.
