Our Learning Management System (LMS) supports and strengthens every learner to ensure your brand promise is delivered to your people, and to the world.  We view learning as the path to a stronger culture, a greater brand, and vital to building communities of employees, customers, and partners.

While soft skills are undeniably essential, they’ve often been overshadowed in traditional training agendas. With Wisetail + Uplifting Leadership’s innovative content offerings, it’s time for a renaissance. 

We cordially invite you to join us to dive into;

The Soft Skills Renaissance: Explore the reasons behind the sidelining of soft skills and discover the growing demand among HR and L&D professionals to prioritize them. 
Elevated Training with Ease: our ready-to-go content doesn't just promise quality - it ensures ease of integration. Unveil the convenience and adaptability that L&D professionals have long sought after. 
Four Pillars of Engagement: Mastering time management for peak efficiency. 
Managing perceptions to foster robust workplace bonds. 
Excelling in guest services for memorable engagements. 
Cultivating leadership acumen to inspire and guide with aplomb. 

Join us as we refocus and renew our commitment to a training content approach that celebrates the multifaceted human experience.

Elevating Soft Skills: Training Content for Today’s HR + L&D

As restaurant operators, we are consistently juggling… it all. From mass communication efforts, to updated training materials, to certification handlings, to making sure we’re simply dialed into our teams - we have a lot on our (literal and figurative) plates. Join the Salata L&D team Tiffany Perez (Sr. Director of Training and Development) and Madi Pickett (Training Content Manager) as they sit down and reflect on the training initiatives that have amplified their franchise teams’ success and given their family of restaurants the tools to be successful between restaurants.

Digital Training that (Actually) Bridges the Gaps with Salata

To feel sexy is to feel like you belong. To be engaged through humor, connection and purpose - not just lifeless instruction. Safety is both mental and physical. Over the years, safety has gotten a bad rap; something stiff, rigid, and overwhelming. To change that, we’re joining forces with industry-leading restaurant training experts Arrow Up to look at why safety is that super simple secret ingredient that most are missing. 

Join us as we walk through Arrow Up’s OSHA/EEOC compliant courses. We'll examine what it means for safety and harassment prevention to be the foundation of a healthy bottom line, and how focusing on safety equates to building a culture of leadership, and attracting team members who care.

In the last two years, the word "pivot" has ran parallel with the words "new normal." We have performed hardcore, strategic maneuvering through murky waters into drastic newness.

Just more hurdles to add to our resumes' we suppose!
