2018 Training Top 125 Winners

No. 1 Leading Real Estate Companies of the World and the other 2018 Top 125 winners are game-changing organizations that champion training and employee development tied to corporate strategic goals and business impact.

The real estate industry continued its Training Top 125 win streak, with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) earning the No. 1 spot on the 2018 list. LeadingRE and the other Top 125 winners are game-changing organizations that champion training and employee development tied to corporate strategic goals and business impact. Some 31 newcomers earned a spot on the list this year, the 18th in a row Training has ranked the top companies of employer-sponsored workforce training and development.

Each Top 125 company was measured on quantitative (85 points) and qualitative (40 points) data. Factors influencing the rankings include: Training tied to business objectives • Kirkpatrick Level 3 and 4 results • Training's role in strategic decision-making • Number of trainers • Employee turnover and retention • Leadership development • Tuition assistance • Training technology and infrastructure • Certification • Training budget and percentage of payroll • Executive involvement in L&D • Training delivery methods and innovation. And much, much more. An outside research and statistical data company, under the guidance of Training magazine, scored companies on quantitative data supplied by applicants. Then, Training's editor-in-chief and the Training Top 10 Hall of Famers qualitatively reviewed the applications.

Congratulations to this year's Training Top 125!
