Rampart Supply transforms employee training through ASA University
How Rampart Supply became a more attractive employer and boosted retention with training.
Rampart Supply, an independent plumbing, heating and PVF distributor established in 1968 with three stores in Colorado and about 280 employees, had long-ago established a culture of learning within the company.
Employees typically completed workbooks, or in most cases, worked with a veteran employee or mentor to learn on the job or during in-person training sessions. This model worked for a while, but then Rampart started experiencing what so many industry members are experiencing. The company was growing — rapidly. And it was staring at a mass retirement of employees within the next 5-10 years.
