Partnering with Keysight Technologies, TrainingPros proves ability for learning and development innovation
ATLANTA (September 15, 2021) TrainingPros, a staffing agency that connects large organizations with specialized learning and development (L&D) contract professionals, won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the Best Unique or Innovative Leadership Program category. TrainingPros’ win, working in conjunction with Keysight Technologies, was announced Aug. 19. The list of winners is posted online.
“We are honored to receive this award with our client, Keysight Technologies,” said TrainingPros President Leigh Anne Lankford. “It represents our firm’s best-in-class expertise at matching client needs with highly skilled, specialized consultants who work alongside our clients — in this case, to create an award-winning learning solution.”
Julie Hodack, the L&D professional assigned to Keysight Technologies by TrainingPros Relationship Manager Leigh Hurst, was tasked with the project of seamlessly converting a three-day new-leader development program from in-person to virtual.
“Keysight’s manager program exceeded the expectations of participants, providing significant learnings that helped instill greater confidence as they moved forward in the career at the company,” said Keysight Technologies Director of Manager Employee Development Nadine Frank. “The program combines highly active, live virtual sessions, integrated pathways for assignments, global networking and coaching, social learning, as well as a focus on personal case studies and development plans. Julie Hodack was a great partner who understood our goals and objectives, making the transition to the virtual program a success.”
“The 2021 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards provide much-needed and well-deserved recognition to organizations that went above and beyond to support their stakeholders during the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Brandon Hall Group COO and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program Rachel Cooke. “The awards provide validation of best practices in all areas of human capital management (HCM) at a time when they have never been more important to employers, employees and customers.”
Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based on these criteria: fit the needs, program design, functionality, innovation and overall measurable benefits.
Excellence Award winners are scheduled to be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, Feb. 1-3, 2022, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. Select winners also will serve as presenters in breakout sessions, sharing their leading practices during the conference. [Update Feb. 1, 2022: the conference was canceled due to COVID reasons.]
“We added several awards categories this year to specifically address critical needs, including how organizations addressed the new dynamics of work and embedded the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion in their HCM practices,” said Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke. “Winning organizations in all categories demonstrated a people-centric approach while driving superior business results under challenging and unprecedented conditions. Demonstrating HCM’s impact on the business is what sets our awards apart.”
