ICL views on-going learning as an integral part of the work experience. The Company empowers employees to take their development into their own hands by proactively and independently learning during the flow of work. Management believes that this approach enables development and growth and creates a better overall work experience.
As part of ICL’s global learning strategy, it has sought to enable its employees to easily access learning and development opportunities that are individually tailored to their needs. Striving to create a modern and flexible learning experience, in June 2020 the Company developed a proprietary platform called MyCampus@ICL. It is a one-stop-shop for learning opportunities where employees can find everything they need to take their development into their own hands. MyCampus@ICL consists of a wide range of learning opportunities to enable success in a dynamic and ever-changing world. Areas of development include leadership, professional and personal development and future of work.
By the end of 2020, MyCampus@ICL provided employees with access to an average of 20 global learning opportunities as well as an abundance of offerings in their geographic region and local language. In addition, ICL’s Learning and Development team published a digital bi-weekly newsletter highlighting over 40 different global learning offerings. In less than six months, the number of visits was 90,593 with an average 90-day visit of 18,888 and 5,012 unique viewers.
The total number of employee training hours in 2020 was 106,516. Due to Covid-19, the Company swiftly shifted from in-person classroom training to virtual and online short-form sessions. The global training schedule offered learning and development opportunities to meet the needs of all regions and time zones.
Some of the 2020 training offerings included:

Driven by global trends, the necessity to unleash employee potential and enable an agile workforce through re-skilling and up-skilling, ICL is moving beyond MyCampus@ICL to WeGrow@ICL.
