The ATD Excellence in Practice Awards are presented to companies with educational practices that have demonstrated clear and measurable results in achieving organizational goals, meet a demonstrated need, have appropriate design values, and are aligned with other performance improvement initiatives. These practices have long-term, sustained results across the full scope of talent development.

This year’s awards featured 140 nominations across 13 categories, including career development, customer service training, diversity and inclusion, integrated talent management, leadership and management development, learning and development, onboarding, and sales enablement. All submissions were de-branded to ensure no bias or international recognition affected the judges’ opinion. Excellence in Practice Award winners will be recognized during the ATD 2021 International Conference & Exposition in August 2021.

SoftServe University’s learning ecosystem enables a self-paced and self-directed learning experience for associates. The company’s leadership consistently runs needs assessments and adapts learning solutions, scope, quantity, and reach so learning is filled with relevant and timely curriculum that is easy to access.
