Minneapolis, MN (November 29, 2022)—Training magazine, the leading business publication for Learning and Development (L&D) professionals, today announced the winners of the newly rebranded Training APEX Awards (formerly the Training Top 100), which ranks companies’ excellence in employer-sponsored training and development programs. The rankings for the leading organizations will be unveiled during a black-tie Gala to be held February 28 during the 2022 Training Conference & Expo in Orlando, FL. In addition, United Wholesale Mortgage will be inducted into the Training Hall of Fame after earning rankings in the top 10 for four consecutive years.

“As COVID-19 continues to spark change in our professional (and personal) worlds, we made the decision to rebrand our Training Top 100 to the Training APEX Awards to reflect the winners’ journey to attain peak performance in employee training and development and organizational success,” explains TrainingEditor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld. “This rebranding gives us more flexibility in terms of the number of winners we can name and allows us to maintain the credibility of the program so we are not putting organizations on the list that did not meet the minimum scoring threshold for training excellence. We salute these best-in-class organizations for their laser-focused commitment to learning and development, their brilliance in continuing to successfully deliver training despite the ongoing pandemic, and their unwavering belief that Training Matters—and not only can it change the world, but transform it.”

The APEX Awards ranking is based on myriad benchmarking statistics and a range of qualitative and quantitative factors, including:

  • Total training budget
  • Percentage of payroll
  • Scope of training programs provided
  • Detailed formal and informal training programs
  • Training linked to business/business unit goals
  • Kirkpatrick Level 3 and 4 evaluation
  • Business outcomes resulting from training

All applications are scored by the Training Hall of Fame members and Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld.

In-depth profiles of each of the top five companies will appear in the March 2022 issue of Training, and more information about the training efforts of all the winners will appear in the issue and online at www.trainingmag.com.
