Brandon Hall Group Announces Winners of the Excellence in Technology Awards for 2021

Corporations and Solution Providers submitted applications that showcased how they used technology to improve the human capital management of organizations around the world. The awards were judged by an international panel of industry experts based on the value to the business, technological innovation, unique differentiators, technical functionality and measurable results.

Driving Agility in Learning with Human-Centered Design

Brandon Hall Group Smartchoice Preferred Provider DelphianLogic are strong believers that the kind of input provided by a human-centered approach allows them to leverage more design thinking and agile approaches to creating learning programs. Starting in the design phase, they take in everything they know about the stakeholders to help shape the program. This brings them much closer to solving the challenges on the first try, leaving subsequent iterations to improve more granular elements. By not taking this approach, companies are setting themselves up for learning programs that miss the mark and take much longer to revise and improve.

Where Learning and Performance Converge

Until learning has strategic conversations with the business about required outcomes and how best to achieve them, nothing will change. The learning function must understand what business leaders need from their workforce and use their expertise to determine the best way for people to learn those skills, change those behaviors or retain that information.

How to Measure Training Effectiveness

The Impact tool provides surveys and questionnaires that drive strong participation and data. It also has built-in reporting tools that allow companies to benchmark against industry data. The Analytics solution takes it to the next level by connecting all of the learning data to business results. Learning teams are typically at a disadvantage because they do not have access to data science or analysis skills. Docebo has gone a long way to making it possible for any L&D team to answer the right questions and truly demonstrate learning’s impact on people and the business.

Healthy Leaders and the Power of Caring

A majority of employers (56%) say it is important to develop inclusive leaders who care about all aspects of employee well-being, according to our 2021 leadership development research. But they are challenged to do so. About seven in 10 organizations say leaders have little or no time in the day to learn and improve themselves or to make themselves a priority.
