Abilitie and Target Win Gold; Best Advance in Executive Development

The 2022 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards are given for work in Learning and Development; Talent Management; Leadership Development; Talent Acquisition; Human Resources; Sales Performance; Diversity, Equity & Inclusion; and Future of Work.

We are excited to announce that this year, Abilitie won a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Executive Development category in partnership with one of our esteemed clients, Target.

The program that won the award, a unique, highly impactful executive development program designed by the team at Target, features Abilitie’s Executive Challenge simulation in addition to a series of experiences including coaching, leadership support, and challenge-based learning.

“Excellence Award winners distinguish themselves through their growing understanding that all the functions of HCM are integrated and must work together to move businesses forward,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Cooke, leader of the HCM Excellence Awards program.

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based upon:

  • Fit the need

  • Design of the program

  • Functionality

  • Innovation

“Abilitie doesn’t have a ‘one-size fits all’ offering. Their ability (pun intended) to adapt to our needs in such a short amount of time highlights the flexible nature of their product design and construct. As a client, that’s a highly valuable attribute of their offering.”
