Chief Learning Officer’s annual LearningElite Awards program honors organizations in our industry for their outstanding endeavors in the name of corporate learning and development.
The LearningElite awards was developed in 2011 under the guidance of chief learning officers, senior L&D practitioners and subject matter experts. It continues to serve as an annual benchmark and evaluation tool for our industry’s top performers, and plays the part of a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s functional L&D areas, such as leadership development, technological adoption, executive buy-in, content development and delivery, among others.
This year, 32 organizations are being honored for illsutrating excellence in corporate learning across five crucial dimensions: learning strategy, leadership commitment, learning execution, learning impact and business performance results.
These organizations were selected by a team of judges. Each organization’s application is reviewed by multiple judges to reduce bias. LearningElite judges have about 10 years’ experience in the L&D industry.
The final ranking will be revealed at the annual LearningElite Gala on Thursday, November 6, 2025, which will be held virtually this year.
