The resulting program saw record levels of engagement, performance and satisfaction, with ambitious plans for expansion moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>NovoEd and 3M won in recognition of 3M\u2019s collaborative social learning program for People Leaders. Hosted on the NovoEd platform using a social learning format, the program has resulted in higher completion rates and scores on application and performance that exceed both virtual instructor-led training and the company\u2019s global targets for a fraction of the cost of instructor-led training.<\/p>\n<p>The Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards program is a prestigious honor, recognizing the top HCM technologies, initiatives and programs from across the world. This year, award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation and overall measurable benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrandon Hall Group Excellence Awards in 2021 provide much-needed and well-deserved recognition to organizations that went above and beyond to support their stakeholders during the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic,\u201d said Brandon Hall Group COO and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program Rachel Cooke. \u201cThe awards provide validation of best practices in all areas of HCM at a time when they have never been more important to employers, employees and customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the sixth year in a row that NovoEd has been awarded a Brandon Hall Group Excellence award.
