  • Segno-based learning plans
  • Webinars
  • Instructor led in-person academies

The award entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts and executives based upon the following criteria: learning needs, design of the program, functionality, innovation and overall measureable benefits.

“It is an honor and a privilege to be recognized for our work in collaborating and facilitating the developmental programs for our leaders at all levels,” said Benjamin LeRoy, a master facilitator on the Learning and Development team. “A special thank you to all of SHC partners who contributed to our program success this year! Each and every Support Center partner is an engaged member of the village, raising our company’s leaders from coast to coast,” said Torey Bennett, master facilitator.

Earlier this year, Sears Holdings took Gold in the 2017 Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards in the Best Use of Games and Simulations for Learning Category.
