Winners of Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards 2026

The award-winning entry demonstrated the value of a blended learning approach in creating a more connected and effective development experience. By bringing together different learning modalities, the initiative addressed the need for learning experiences that can engage participants in multiple ways while supporting greater flexibility, continuity, and application. The approach reflects how blended learning can move beyond simply combining formats to create a more purposeful learning journey aligned with development needs.

Each submission is evaluated by an independent panel of Brandon Hall Group analysts, industry experts, and experienced practitioners using consistent criteria that assess business need, program design, innovation, adoption, and organizational impact. Winning a Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Award signifies that the organization’s work stands among the industry’s most successful and influential initiatives

“The HCM Excellence Awards have become the most recognized benchmark for excellence in human capital management because organizations know they are earned, not given. Every winning program has demonstrated measurable impact, innovation, and execution through one of the industry’s most rigorous evaluation processes. We are proud to recognize the organizations setting the standard for the future of work.” Mike Cooke, CEO, Brandon Hall Group™

“Blended learning is most effective when the different elements are intentionally connected to create one cohesive development experience. It is not simply about offering learning through multiple formats; it is about using each modality where it can create the greatest value for the learner and the organization. This Gold recognition is a wonderful acknowledgment of that principle, and we are proud to see the work recognized for its thoughtful approach to learning and development,” said David Yesford, President, Wilson Learning.
