“One of the greatest challenges in online learning is earning the attention of non-captive learners: busy professionals with no one requiring them to show up, competing against every other demand on their time. That’s exactly what our High Engagement at Scale™ approach is built to solve, for learners and the organizations that depend on them. The FLP is an excellent example of High Engagement at Scale in action, and this award is well-deserved,” says Furqan Nazeeri, CEO of Studion.
“Every year, the HCM Excellence Awards® remind us that innovation is ultimately about impact. The organizations recognized this year have demonstrated that great HR and learning strategies don’t just improve programs, they strengthen organizations, empower people and deliver measurable business results. We are honored to celebrate their achievements.” Rachel Cooke, COO of Brandon Hall Group™ and HCM Excellence Awards® Program Leader.
