Every organization and every industry has unique characteristics that form the basis for the strategy behind their learning and development efforts. At Panera these characteristics include moving from a public, founder-led company, to a privately held corporation. Panera is in an industry that celebrates when turnover is below 100% annually. It has had three CEOs in 18 months with a massively distributed, deskless hourly workforce that is 140k and growing.
