Minneapolis, MN (November 28, 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, 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 13, 2023, during the 2023 Training Conference & Expo in Orlando, FL. In addition, Birmingham Water Works Board will be inducted into the Training Hall of Fame after earning rankings in the top 10 for four consecutive years.
“The passion for learning and development burns brightly in the 2023 Training APEX Awards organizations,” notes Training Editor/Publisher Lorri Freifeld. “We salute these best-in-class organizations for their ability to consistently and agilely deliver stellar training in an ever-changing world while providing a culture that allows their people to grow and thrive at work.”
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 2023 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.
