"Excellence Award winners symbolize the power and impact that Human Capital Management practices can have on a business or on any organization," said Rachel Cooke, Chief Operating Officer of Brandon Hall Group and head of the awards program. "Many organizations can have great HCM initiatives, but the standard of excellence only applies for organizations whose HCM practices truly benefit the business. That's what the Excellence Awards program stands for, and that is what Brandon Hall Group stands for."
