An alphabetical list in each of the six categories was compiled based on Training and TMN’s own industry data and research and included solution providers that both have and have not done business or partnered with Training and its affiliates. Voters also could enter a preferred product, service, or solution that was not on the list.
The voting was held online from April 15 to June 6, 2025. Some 13,312 votes were cast by 2,053 unique respondents for 246 companies.
Participants could submit a survey ballot in as many of the six categories as were applicable to them, but only one ballot per voter per category was permitted; multiple employees from the same company were permitted to vote. Winners were determined by a combination of the total number of votes received and an average weighted score based on effectiveness. Because of this determination, there is not a set number of winners per category.
“These provider organizations are standouts for their customer care, innovation, and training solutions that truly optimize, engage, and prepare learners,” says Training magazine Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld. “We’re excited to recognize their stellar accomplishments and dedication to fostering training excellence.”
