\n\tAn alphabetical list in each of the five categories was compiled based on Training<\/em> magazine and Training Magazine Network’s own industry data and research and included vendor companies that both have and have not done business or partnered with Training<\/em> magazine and its affiliates. Voters also had the opportunity to enter a preferred vendor product or solution if the tool they wished to rank was not listed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe voting was held online August 22-October 31, 2019. Nearly 3,400 votes were cast by 1,253 unique respondents for 310 companies. Participants could submit a survey ballot in as many of the five categories as were applicable to them, but only one ballot per voter per category was permitted; multiple employees from the same company were <\/em>permitted to vote. Winners were determined by a combination of the total number of votes received and an average weighted score based on effectiveness. Because of this determination, there is not a set number of winners per category. <\/p>\n

\n\t“We like to think of the Training Magazine Network Choice Awards as the ‘Gold Standard of Recognition in the Training Profession,’ says Training <\/em>magazine Publisher Lori Gardner. “The winners have dedicated a great deal of time and effort to developing innovative products and solutions that enable Training professionals to deliver best-in-class learning and development that promotes employee growth and organizational success.” <\/p>\n

\n\t“We take great pride in having developed a social community that adds hundreds—even thousands—of new members every month,” says Training Magazine Network VP of Webinars Gary Van Antwerp. “It was clear by their response to this inaugural recognition effort that the corporate training and learning community is truly passionate about these tools and products that help them to accomplish their goals.”<\/p>\n
