Linens of the Week Chooses Voluminant for Interactive Training Development

Linens of the Week, a half-century old, family-owned and operated linen rental company serving the East Coast, chooses Voluminant, an interactive multimedia development firm, to revolutionize its training and employee development effort.

Washington, DC, November 07, 2006 --(PR.com)-- Linens of the Week and Voluminant are two Washington, D.C. based companies not cut from the same cloth, but that didn’t stop them from ironing out a deal that promises enhanced service and deliveries for Linens of the Week customers.

As the East Coast’s leading textile rental company, Linens of the Week today announced it has hired Voluminant to develop a training program for the route representatives of the company’s 125 truck delivery fleet and that includes the production of an interactive DVD video.

Titled “We’ve Got It Covered!” the Voluminant-designed training program and skills video will focus on safety, customer service, and efficient work practices.

“Linens of the Week is committed to providing personalized service and unparalleled support to all of our customers,” said Ron Bubes, president of Linens of the Week. “Voluminant was chosen because they focused on our business goals and are taking an innovative approach to train our employees to help us reach those goals.”

Based in Arlington, Virginia, Voluminant is an interactive multimedia-driven training, simulation and gaming company known for producing crisp, clean custom training videos and content targeted at the business needs of industry-leading organizations.

Tossed into the competitive training industry in 2004, Voluminant has been going full-steam ever since, winning big named Washington, D.C. area clients such as U.S. Foodservice, the U.S. State Department, an NHL hockey team, and two of the area’s largest casual fine dining restaurant companies.

Voluminant’s success is due to folding consulting, training and technology into one service offering, said Christopher Stammer, president and CEO of Voluminant.

“Have you ever been in a training session and wanted to scream because you had so many other things to do?” Stammer asked.  “Voluminant transforms your traditional training into a fast, fun, and interactive program to get real results. Trainees are truly engaged in and learn from the training – that’s what Voluminant guarantees and does best.”

Stammer and Bubes both agreed that hard-hitting and effective training directly translates into a safer workforce and a higher level of product- and service-offering for Linens of the Week customers.

And, those results are the fabric of success.
