“It takes a lot of work for these teams and individuals to be an expert in the field of human capital management, and the people who win should feel very accomplished. For many of them it’s a culmination of their life’s work and dedication as a professional,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Cooke, who oversees the awards program. “Our award winners are excelling in the face of a hyper-competitive world, focusing their talent on innovation that drives excellence, success and sustainability.”
