Big Wins at the Brandon Hall HCM Awards
You don't win 14 medals at a prestigious event like the Brandon Hall Group's HCM Excellence Awards without turning some heads. NovoEd, alongside industry giants 3M, Abbott, and Kohler, did just that in 2026. Talk about an impressive lineup. NovoEd's talent development tech is evidently hitting all the right notes across the board. This ain't just a regular pat on the back—these are serious kudos for driving transformation in human capital management.
Recognizing Game-Changing Talent Strategies
Winning awards across categories like Leadership Development, Diversity, and the Future of Work implies you're not just playing the same old tune.
