OVERVIEW
Brandon Hall Group’s 2020 Excellence in Technology Awards Program introduces new categories and a new program area, The Future of Work.
Ongoing societal and business disruptions compel organizations to rapidly prepare for the future of work and the “new normal.” The new Technology Awards program area and categories focus on the technologies, programs, strategies, modalities, processes, systems and tools that organizations use to navigate the current and future state of the workplace. New categories specific to crisis management include the tools and technologies organizations deploy to enable their workforce, including those used during the COVID-19 pandemic and other global and domestic crises. Applications may also cover Future of Work initiatives unrelated to these events.
The purpose of these new categories, as with existing ones, is highlighting what’s happening in HCM, recognize excellence in the field and share best practices. During these extraordinary times, we continue to seek better ways to serve our community and these additions reflect that commitment.
