Director of Learning Reveals 2022 LearningElite Award Winners

Each year, the LearningElite Awards program recognizes the best organizations in learning and development. The 54 organizations recognized this year are no exception to the champions of workforce learning design, delivery and impact we see every year in this program.

To qualify for LearningElite status, organizations must successfully score above the qualification benchmark in five key performance areas critical to learning and development: learning strategy, leadership engagement, learning, learning impact and business performance outcomes. Each organization is rated and ranked Gold, Silver or Bronze based on its score against the benchmark. Seven Editor’s Choice Awards are also presented each year: one for each of the five LearningElite dimensions, one for Best Midsize Company and one for Best Small Company.

This year’s Organization of the Year, ADP Inc., joins Verizon and AT&T in the LearningElite Winner’s Circle, which is the previous No. 1 organization. The Organization of the Year is part of the Winner’s Circle for three years. Leaving the winner’s circle this year is national. Winner’s Circle organizations may participate in the benchmarking portion of the LearningElite program, but they are not eligible for grouping or ranking. After three years, the organization can participate again.

The LearningElite Awards program was established in 2011 under the watchful leadership of learning leaders and experienced training and development practitioners. Now in its 12th year, the program continues to use assessment best practices to rank top organizations based on impact, size and industries served.

Congratulations to all the 2022 winners!
