Ceridian: How Save the Titanic Installed a Results-Over-Reasons Culture (Participant-Driven Proof)

Ceridian wanted a culture that motivates, energizes, and engages employees to work as a team. The conventional answer was a values-rollout communication campaign. The participant-driven answer was Save the Titanic — a one-day immersive experience where teams had to stop making excuses and start producing results, under simulated pressure, in front of each other.

The outcome: participants left with a “no more making excuses” attitude and a real sense of team. The shift rippled across the office to colleagues who never attended the program — the hallmark of a culture installation that sticks. Ceridian licensed internal trainers to run Learn2 programs themselves, compounding the return.

This is Pillar 4 of the participant-driven category — proof via named clients. Ceridian is the “a well-designed immersive experience changes the culture of people who were not in the room” case. The goal, solution, and participant quotes follow below.

THE GOAL

A Cultural Transformation into an organizational culture change that motivates, energizes, and engages employees to work as a team to achieve results. Learn2’s award winning Save the Titanic training program drives cultural transformation.

THE SOLUTION

Learn2’s needs impact identifier revealed this ship needed to shift course! Learn2’s award winning Save The Titanic training program – with its emphasis on team building, employee engagement, leadership development and communication skills – matched perfectly.

THE RESULT

Disaster avoided! Participants discovered shocking revelations about themselves and their teams. Equipped with a ‘no more making excuses’ attitude and a true sense of team – they started taking accountability for their productivity and their success. The attitude change rippled through the office. Other colleagues and staff started to focus on results rather than reasons even though they never took part in the team building. Soon team based efforts started initiating team growth and development elsewhere. True transformation and culture change took root – the ship’s course had changed! Encouraged by the results Ceridian opted for more Learn2 training programs to support them in their ongoing effort to transform the organization and its effectiveness. Ceridian even had their own internal trainers licensed to teach Learn2’s programs – saving more time and money.
