A View Into Monarch Landscape Companies

Monarch Landscape Companies is a leading provider of high-quality landscaping services, catering to commercial property owners, homeowner associations, contractors, and municipal clients. Formed in 2016 when several smaller organizations combined, today, Monarch is a landscaping powerhouse, with operations in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. The company employs over 3,000 workers, including 2,500 seasonal field employees.

Monarch is committed to delivering aesthetic excellence and ensuring safety and compliance across all projects. This dedication to outstanding service and employee development sets them apart as a trusted and innovative leader in their field.

🦋 From seasonal workers to long-term leaders, Monarch Landscape Companies revamped training with ClearCompany Learning. See their metamorphosis here:

The Challenge: Unified Learning for a Widespread Workforce

Monarch Landscape Companies faced unique challenges in developing an efficient learning and development (L&D) program. With a headcount in the thousands, split across office staff and field employees, they needed to address:

• The diverse training needs of office employees and field workers who often operate from remote sites
• Bilingual requirements for their Spanish-speaking employees
• Seasonal hiring surges that require the onboarding of thousands of new employees each spring
• Fragmented operations stemming from the integration of several smaller companies, each with its own HR systems and processes
• The lack of a centralized system made tracking and administering training labor-intensive and error-prone, dependent on manual spreadsheets and supervisor check-ins.

Monarch needed a powerful solution to centralize their L&D efforts, automate processes, and support consistent employee development.

The Solution: Easy Administration and Tracking With ClearCompany

Monarch chose ClearCompany Learning, a robust learning management system (LMS), to transform its approach to employee training and development. Having used the platform in the past, the learning administrator identified it as the right solution to:

• Automate and centralize L&D activities, replacing manual and spreadsheet-based processes.
• Seamlessly integrate employee data from their HRIS, reducing administrative touchpoints and ensuring every employee has an LMS profile.
• Provide user-friendly tools for tracking training progress, even for field employees attending in-person onboarding or compliance sessions.

With an intuitive interface and tailored implementation support, Monarch rapidly transitioned to ClearCompany. The LMS became the central hub for all training efforts, where learning data can be tracked and analyzed systematically for every employee.

The Results: Visibility, Efficiency, and Employee Growth

ClearCompany Learning has transformed Monarch’s L&D strategy, making it easier, smarter, and way more fun to onboard and train employees. Here’s how:

• Better process alignment: HR teams can now onboard over 1,000 seasonal employees per year without breaking a sweat. 
• Custom and role-specific learning tracks: From a one-day “Gardener 101” crash course to 14-module deep dives for administrators, there’s a course for everyone.
• Trimming turnover: Thanks to structured,  rewarding training, seasonal employees are sticking around longer.

But that’s not all — the switch to ClearCompany brought Monarch some serious upgrades:

• Smarter tracking and reporting: Leaders now have all the data they need to plan like strategic pros. 
• 50+ new niche courses: Developed with in-house experts, courses focus on critical niche skills like irrigation and arbor care.
• Beyond compliance: Think wellness and professional development programs that make learning feel less like a chore and more like a win.

With L&D as the star of the show, Monarch is empowering its people and laying the groundwork for big things ahead. And the best part? Their partnership with ClearCompany keeps getting better, with the LMS leveling up alongside Monarch’s bold learning ambitions.
