ITU AbsorbTech is one of only 46 organizations world-wide to receive a 2014 BEST Award.

Representatives from ITU AbsorbTech received the BEST Award during a ceremony held in Washington, D.C. on Oct 2.

The BEST Awards are the talent development industry’s most rigorous and coveted recognition. The BEST Awards recognize organizations that demonstrate enterprise-wide success through employee learning and development.

“These 46 companies excel in creating innovative, vibrant learning cultures that clearly align with strategic business goals,” says Tony Bingham, ATD President and CEO. “They get it. The leadership of these organizations values the impact that talent development achieves, and knows that having a knowledgeable and skilled workforce drives success. ”

ITU AbsorbTech competed against nearly 100 organizations from 14 countries. Every organization submitted quantitative and qualitative information to ATD about their learning and talent development practices and programs. Applications were assessed in a blind review by members of the BEST Awards advisory committee, a select group of experts in the field.

This is the twelfth year of the BEST Awards. More information about the 2014 ASTD BEST Award winners may be found in the October 2014 issue of ATD magazine
