• Records the best year in training and consultancy with innovative and customised programs 

Strategic training and consultation are keys to sustainable corporate building. Organisations worldwide are increasingly focusing on skill development and employee engagement, while looking out for creative ways of doing it. Pioneers in training and consultancy in Sri Lanka, 361 Degrees Ltd. marked the year 2018 as the best year for the company in terms of growth, revenue and innovative outreach. 

In 2018 alone, 361 Degrees conducted 246 programs over a course of 320 days for 84 clients in 14 different locations with the utilisation of a total of 766 facilitator days.

A large part of the portfolio consists of long-standing clients who have repeatedly approached them with various consultancy needs and 361 Degrees has reciprocated with innovative and customised training programs.

One noteworthy program was a novel team building experience that was conducted for Lion Brewery.
