The BetterUp Program kicks off today with 150
AB InBev female leaders who will receive unlimited access to
BetterUp’s coaching platform
BetterUp, the market leader and pioneer of mobile, personalized
coaching for professionals, announced today that it has partnered
with AB InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) (MEXBOL: ANB) (JSE: ANH)
to offer a new global pilot program to drive diversity, foster an
inclusive work environment, and provide coaching and support in the
midst of the COVID-19 crisis.
The first 150 participants include women in 18 countries at
various careers levels who were nominated by their managers.
Participants now have unlimited access to BetterUp’s coaching
platform, which includes 1:1, personalized coaching, access to
specialists providing support on timely topics such as effectively
managing remote work, stress management, and work/life balance for
working parents with children at home. Each participant’s coaching
journey will be tailored according to individual preferences and
learning styles, with the aim of creating a climate of trust,
building positive relationships, and helping employees navigate the
uncertainty and difficult circumstances associated with the current
health pandemic.
“We’ve become a leader in the beverage industry by putting our
people front and center, and by offering our new BetterUp coaching
program, we continue to raise the bar to achieve an even more
supportive, inclusive, and innovative workplace,” says Dr. Lyndsey
Cochrun, Global Head of Leadership Development at Anheuser-Busch
InBev.
“We recognize that an inclusive workplace is just as critical as
having a diverse workforce because it enables individuals to feel
empowered to share their unique perspectives and ideas, which leads
to better decision-making and superior results across the entire
company,” says Laura Brady, Global Director of Diversity and
Inclusion at Anheuser-Busch InBev.
BetterUp’s evidence-based research shows that employees who feel
a strong sense of belonging, versus a weak one, experience a 56%
increase in job performance, a 50% reduction in turnover risk, and
a 75% decrease in sick days.
“Global powerhouses such as AB InBev understand the importance
of inclusive workplaces to drive performance and innovation, and
BetterUp has proven itself as a partner that helps organizations
drive transformational change by investing in their people,” says
Alexi Robichaux, CEO and co-founder of BetterUp. “BetterUp is
honored to be partnering with AB InBev to foster an increased sense
of workplace belonging and enhance the overall employee
experience.”
BetterUp’s coaching platform includes 1:1 hyper-personalized
coaching at scale in over 30 languages across 66 countries,
immersive learning with over 2,000 pieces of content, and analytics
and insights to help employees grow professionally, personally, and
purposefully.
As the world’s largest brewer, AB InBev is dedicated to becoming
a more diverse and inclusive company to reflect the diversity of
its consumers and maintain a sustainable global competitive
advantage for the next 100+ years. Diversity and inclusion live
within AB InBev’s 10 Culture Principles and are integrated into
multiple programs such as Crafting Women Leaders.
Today, nearly half of AB InBev’s U.S. breweries and a quarter of
its breweries in Argentina, China and Europe are led by female head
brewmasters, and they play a crucial role in brewing some of the
company’s best-known products.
