Deltek received a Silver award for Best Development Program for Frontline Leaders (LEAD2) and a Bronze award for Best Mentoring Program (Global Mentoring). The programs reflect the company's intentional approach to developing talent throughout the employee journey - from emerging frontline leaders to high-potential employees preparing for expanded leadership roles - fostering cross-functional learning, knowledge sharing, internal mobility, and leadership readiness across the company's global workforce.
Building Leaders at Deltek
LEAD2 is a frontline leadership development program designed to support first-time and emerging team leads as they transition from individual contributors to people managers. Through a blended learning journey, the program strengthens the leadership pipeline, accelerates readiness, and builds practical capability in areas such as task management, coaching, collaboration, and change leadership across a global, hybrid workforce.
The Deltek Global Mentoring Program fosters guided mentoring relationships supported by coaching, assessments, and leadership perspectives. Designed for top performers, the program accelerates leadership readiness by strengthening critical capabilities, expanding professional networks, and increasing visibility into career pathways. Through developmental experiences and trusted mentoring partnerships, the program builds a robust internal leadership pipeline and promotes internal mobility, helping ensure talent is prepared, connected, and positioned for growth.
"Leadership isn't something we leave to chance at Deltek. With programs like LEAD2 and Global Mentoring, we're deliberately building the next generation of leaders from within, to make sure they're ready when the opportunity comes," said Tracy Schampers, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer at Deltek. "This recognition validates our investment in structured, measurable career growth, and it reinforces our commitment to giving every Deltek employee a clear path to lead."
