An alphabetical list in each of the six 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.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The voting was held online June 1-September 30, 2020. Some 6,441 votes were cast by 2,946 unique respondents for 459 companies. Participants could submit a survey ballot in as many of the six 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. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“With this being only the second year for the Training Magazine Network Choice Awards, we were thrilled that we doubled the number of votes and unique respondents,” says Training <\/em>magazine Publisher Lori Gardner. “This was such an important year to let the training and learning community share with one another about the products and tools that help them accomplish their work. And, in turn, to create a positive way to appreciate the vendors who so quickly adapted to meet new needs and demands.” <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Our social community continues to add hundreds—even thousands—of new members every month, and we are glad to see their engagement extend to voting in the Training Magazine Network Choice Awards,” says Training Magazine Network VP of Webinars Gary Van Antwerp. “Their involvement provides even more opportunities for sharing best practices and effective vendor solutions.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
