Minneapolis, MN (November 15, 2017)—Training magazine, the leading business publication for Learning and Development professionals, today announced the winners for the annual Training Top 125, which ranks companies’ excellence in employer-sponsored training and development programs. The rankings for the 125 leading organizations will be unveiled during a black-tie awards gala February 12 during the Training 2018 Conference & Expo, February 12-14 in Atlanta, GA.

“The 2018 Training Top 125 winners are game changers,” said Training magazine Editor-in-Chief Lorri Freifeld. “They constantly look for innovative ways to effectively deliver and measure employee training, and they are rewarded with an engaged, passionate workforce and  organizational success. Congratulations to these stellar organizations for their unwavering commitment to learning and employee growth!”

In addition, during the Top 125 Gala, Training magazine will induct two companies into the Training Top 10 Hall of Fame: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Keller Williams Realty, Inc. Both earned a spot in the Top 10 of the Training Top 125 for four consecutive years.

Now in its 18th year, the Training Top 125 ranking is based on myriad benchmarking statistics such as total training budget; percentage of payroll; number of training hours per employee program; goals, evaluation, measurement, and workplace surveys; hours of training per employee annually; and detailed formal programs. The ranking is determined by assessing a range of qualitative and quantitative factors, including financial investment in employee development, the scope of development programs, and how closely such development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives.
