The world’s longest-running and largest Human Capital Management awards program recognizes organizations setting the global standard for Workforce Excellence.

BOCA RATON, Fla., August 13, 2026 — Brandon Hall Group, the Workforce Excellence Intelligence company, today announced the winners of its 2026 HCM Excellence Awards®, recognizing organizations that have demonstrated exceptional innovation, measurable business impact, and excellence across Human Capital Management.

Founded in 1993, the HCM Excellence Awards are the longest-running and largest awards program dedicated to Human Capital Management. For more than three decades, the awards have recognized organizations whose people strategies deliver measurable business results and have become widely regarded throughout the industry as the “Academy Awards of Human Capital Management.”

The complete list of 2026 HCM Excellence Award winners is available at: https://excellenceawards.brandonhall.com/winners-2/

“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,” said Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke.

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives using a proven and published evaluation framework that applies the same criteria to every submission:

• Alignment to their business need and environment.
• Program design, functionality and delivery.
• Adoption, integration, user experience, innovation and creativity.
• Overall effectiveness, impact, and measurable benefits.

This rigorous evaluation process provides organizations with independent validation of their work and ensures that recognition is based on demonstrated results rather than popularity or nomination alone. Brandon Hall Group publishes its judging criteria and judge profiles at https://excellenceawards.brandonhall.com/.

“Every year, the HCM Excellence Awards remind us that innovation is ultimately about impact. The organizations recognized this year have demonstrated that great HR and learning strategies don’t just improve programs, they strengthen organizations, empower people, and deliver measurable business results. We are honored to celebrate their achievements,” said Brandon Hall Group COO Rachel Cooke, HCM Excellence Awards program leader.

Winning organizations represent excellence across learning and development, leadership development, talent acquisition, talent management, human resources, sales enablement, future of work, and other areas critical to organizational performance.

Celebrate Excellence at the 2027 HCM Excellence Conference

The 2026 HCM Excellence Award winners will be celebrated at the HCM Excellence Conference, taking place January 26–28, 2027.

The three-day conference will bring together HR, learning, talent, and business leaders for research, best practices, executive discussions, and practical strategies focused on advancing Workforce Excellence. The event culminates with the HCM Excellence Awards Gala, where the 2026 winners will be recognized and celebrated alongside their peers from around the world.

This new study examines who actually owns skills strategy inside organizations, how HR and L&D collaborate on it in practice and why siloed skills efforts keep falling short of the enterprise-wide impact leaders expect. If you’re trying to figure out where skills strategy sits on your own org chart, this is worth a close read.

Research Brief on The Readiness Gap: Why Organizations Struggle to Sustain Change

Most organizations can launch a change initiative. Far fewer can sustain one.

The post Skills Strategy Survey, Sustained Change and Award-Winning Execution: What’s New at Brandon Hall Group™ Institute appeared first on Brandon Hall Group.

When Brandon Hall Group published the 2026 HR Outlook in February, we identified a defining theme for the year ahead: progression.

Organizations everywhere are navigating unprecedented change driven by AI, shifting workforce expectations, evolving leadership demands and increasing pressure to deliver measurable business outcomes. Success is no longer about keeping pace—it is about continuously advancing capabilities, practices and performance. That is why we declared 2026 the Year of Progression.

Shortly thereafter, we introduced the AI Progression Model, providing organizations with a practical framework for assessing their current state and charting a path toward more effective and responsible AI adoption. The response was immediate, reinforcing what we were hearing from HR and business leaders around the world: organizations need clear, research-based guidance for moving from aspiration to action.

Today, we are expanding that vision with seven new Progression Models covering the core disciplines that define HR excellence: Learning & Development, Leadership Development, Talent Management, Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, Rewards & Recognition, and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

More importantly, each Progression Model is supported by a Research Summary, Playbook and Workbook designed to help organizations not only understand their current level of maturity, but also take meaningful steps toward the next stage of development.

The Research Summaries distill the key findings and recommendations into concise, accessible overviews. The Playbooks translate those insights into strategic guidance. The Workbooks provide practical tools, exercises and templates that support implementation.

Together, these resources give Brandon Hall Group Institute clients a structured path from assessment to action—helping leaders turn research and insight into measurable progress.

All seven Progression Models and supporting resources are available now through the Brandon Hall Group Institute:

The post Seven New Progression Models Strengthen</br> Brandon Hall Group’s Frameworks appeared first on Brandon Hall Group.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how organizations manage people, develop skills and make workforce decisions.

For HR, learning and talent leaders, the conversation has shifted. The question is no longer whether AI will impact work. The focus is now on how organizations can adopt AI responsibly and apply it in ways that create measurable business impact.

To help leaders navigate this transition, Brandon Hall Group released a new executive magazine titled The Transformational Impact of AI on HR, Learning and Talent.

The magazine captures research insights, expert perspectives and real-world examples shared at the 2025 Brandon Hall Group AI Summit. It explores how organizations are applying artificial intelligence across HR, learning and talent management and what it takes to scale AI effectively.

AI Adoption in HR Is Accelerating

Artificial intelligence is already embedded in many workforce systems. HR teams are using AI to improve talent acquisition, personalize learning, support employee development and enhance performance management.

As adoption grows, leaders are recognizing that successful AI transformation requires more than new technology. Organizations must address governance, data readiness, workforce skills and strategic alignment.

“AI has moved from experimentation to execution,” said Mike Cooke, CEO of Brandon Hall Group. “We’re calling this the Year of Progression because organizations are no longer asking whether to adopt AI, they’re advancing along a clear maturity path. Our research shows AI is already embedded in systems like performance management and employee development. The real advantage now belongs to leaders who intentionally design human-AI collaboration and treat progression as their operating model.”

The next phase of AI adoption will depend on how well organizations prepare their workforce, align leadership and build responsible frameworks for using AI at scale.

The AI Progression Model for AI Readiness

A key concept explored in the magazine is the Brandon Hall Group AI Progression Model, developed by Chief Strategy Officer Michael Rochelle.

The model is informed by research from more than 800 organizations and provides a structured framework for understanding AI readiness and maturity.

Organizations typically move through several stages as they adopt AI. These stages range from early experimentation to enterprise-wide integration and optimization.

“Progression is about readiness, not hype,” Rochelle said. “Organizations do not stall because they lack tools. They stall because they lack alignment. The AI Progression Model helps leaders evaluate governance, people, process, technology and organizational adaptability. When AI becomes a strategic capability rather than a collection of pilots, meaningful transformation becomes achievable.”

This framework helps HR and business leaders evaluate their current level of AI maturity and identify the next steps for advancing their AI strategy.

How AI Is Transforming HR and Talent Management

Artificial intelligence is reshaping nearly every aspect of human capital management. Organizations are exploring new ways to apply AI across HR, learning and talent development.

The magazine highlights key areas where AI is already making an impact.

• Talent acquisition and candidate screening
• Personalized learning and skill development
• Workforce analytics and decision support
• Employee development and performance management
• HR operations and service automation

Successful organizations are combining these applications with strong governance practices and responsible AI policies. They are also investing in workforce readiness to ensure employees and leaders understand how to work effectively alongside AI systems.

Lessons from Organizations Leading AI Transformation

The magazine also includes examples from organizations that are successfully applying artificial intelligence across the enterprise.

These organizations share several common characteristics:

• They focus on data quality and integration before scaling AI solutions.
• They establish clear governance structures for AI use.
• They prepare employees and leaders for changes in how work is performed.
• They align AI initiatives with measurable business goals.

By taking a structured approach to AI adoption, these organizations are able to move from experimentation to sustainable transformation.

Join the AI in HR Summit to Continue the Conversation

Many of the insights featured in the magazine were first discussed at the 2025 Brandon Hall Group AI Summit.

The conversation continues at the upcoming AI in HR Summit, October 15, 2026, Boca Raton Innovation Campus

The AI in HR Summit is a one day event focused on practical strategies for implementing artificial intelligence across HR, learning, and talent functions.

Attendees will explore topics including:

• AI strategy and workforce transformation
• Responsible and ethical AI governance
• AI use cases across HR and talent management
• Workforce readiness and skill development
• Emerging AI technologies shaping the future of work

The event brings together HR, business, learning, and technology leaders who are responsible for guiding AI adoption in their organizations.

Learning Experience Platforms Strategy Brief: The Future of the LXP in the Age of AI

The learning experience platform market faces a critical inflection point as artificial intelligence reshapes how organizations deliver, personalize, and measure learning effectiveness. This strategy brief examines how LXP capabilities must evolve beyond content curation to deliver intelligent, adaptive learning experiences that respond to individual learner needs in real time. Organizations investing in LXP technology need clear frameworks for evaluating AI-enhanced platforms against traditional systems, understanding integration requirements with existing learning ecosystems, and measuring business impact beyond engagement metrics. The brief provides decision-makers with practical guidance for navigating vendor claims, assessing organizational readiness, and building implementation roadmaps that align learning technology investments with measurable business outcomes.

Blog: Docebo’s Acquisition of 365Talents — Moving From Skills Intelligence to Skills Action

Docebo’s acquisition of 365Talents represents a significant shift in the learning technology landscape, moving beyond passive skills assessment toward active talent deployment. Brandon Hall Group sees this merger as particularly significant because it addresses a critical gap that has plagued organizations for years: the disconnect between knowing what skills exist in their workforce and actually mobilizing those skills to solve business problems. Most skills intelligence platforms excel at data collection and visualization but fail at the crucial next step—helping organizations make real-time decisions about project staffing, internal mobility, and development prioritization. By combining 365Talents’ talent marketplace capabilities with Docebo’s learning delivery infrastructure, organizations gain an integrated system that can identify skill gaps, recommend learning pathways, and simultaneously match existing talent to opportunities—all within a single platform. This integration fundamentally changes the ROI calculation for learning technology investments, as organizations can now demonstrate direct connections between learning activities and business outcomes like reduced time-to-fill for critical projects, decreased external hiring costs, and improved employee retention through visible career progression. The acquisition also signals a broader industry trend toward consolidated talent technology stacks that eliminate data silos and create seamless employee experiences from skills assessment through development and deployment.
