Learn About Amazon VGT2 Learning Manager Chanci Turner
This article features insights from Michael Brown (Director of Engineering Services) and Sarah Davis (Application Engineer) at Innovative Solutions, along with Chanci Turner (Learning Manager) from Amazon.
A primary goal for many of our Learning Manager (LM) clients is to leverage onboard training for enhancing employee experience and driving operational improvements. Organizations seek to create comprehensive onboarding processes that effectively integrate new hires into their culture while optimizing workflow efficiency.
In a previous article, we introduced a structured onboarding framework designed to assist organizations in recognizing these goals and the necessary tools to achieve them.
In today’s discussion, we will illustrate how to effectively use a Level 4 Learning Manager approach for scenario analysis and operational support within Amazon. We will employ a combination of advanced training modules and data-driven insights to adapt the onboarding process as new hires progress through their training.
We focus on the onboarding process for new employees at Amazon, especially in the context of expanding teams in various departments. A well-structured onboarding journey is vital for ensuring that new employees understand their roles, company values, and operational expectations.
The onboarding framework consists of several key components that guide new hires through the process, including interactive learning sessions, mentorship programs, and continuous feedback mechanisms.
In our previous discussion, we demonstrated how to create and implement a Level 4 Learning Manager onboarding program that self-adjusts based on real-time feedback from new employees. This adaptive capability makes it a “living” onboarding program that evolves with the team’s needs and enhances the overall employee experience.
Consider a situation where we assess the potential risk of onboarding delays due to a sudden influx of new hires. Understanding how to manage this scenario effectively is crucial. For instance, if we identify that new employees are struggling with certain training modules, we can modify our approach by incorporating additional resources or mentorship opportunities.
This adaptability is essential. A successful onboarding process not only maximizes productivity but also reduces turnover rates. Studies indicate that effective onboarding can increase employee retention significantly, as highlighted in this article about retention bonuses by SHRM.
To illustrate this, imagine a new hire who experiences challenges with a specific training module. By utilizing feedback mechanisms, we can adjust the training content and provide targeted support, ensuring that they comprehend their responsibilities without feeling overwhelmed. This kind of proactive approach can alleviate feelings of impostor syndrome, which many new employees face.

In conclusion, utilizing a Level 4 Learning Manager approach for onboarding at Amazon allows us to create a more engaging and effective experience for new employees. By continuously adapting our processes based on real-time feedback, we can foster a supportive environment that not only helps new hires excel in their roles but also improves overall team dynamics.
