The 2024 Brandon Hall Group Excellence in Awards™ are given for work in Learning and Development, Talent Management, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Sales Enablement, Future of Work, and Education Technology.
DHL Group, a 600,000 global logistics company, partnered with Kallidus, a leader in learning and performance technology and content, to win a coveted Brandon Hall Group Gold award for excellence in the Best Advance in Education Delivered through Technology category.
The win was announced on December 5, 2024. Click here to see the full list of winners.
The award-winning game design was spearheaded by Katja Heintzen when faced with a company-wide opportunity to take on learner engagement. When the global organization was challenged to more deeply embed its leadership attributes across a survey-fatigued employee base, Katja turned to Kallidus to partner on a game design that incorporated the company’s diversity, sustainability, and HR principles while collecting rich data from employees as they moved through the dynamic learning experience.

“We are excited to celebrate alongside our customer, DHL Group, for receiving the Gold award in the Brandon Hall Group Technology Excellence Awards 2024 in the category of Best Advance in Education Delivered Through Technology for our submission, ‘Elemental Escapes: An Escape from the Learning Norm.’ This recognition underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in delivering measurable results for our customers. At Kallidus, we believe that success is defined by measurable improvement, and we are committed to delivering that to our customers every day and in every way.
