Chief Learning Officer Magazine Recognizes Industry Leaders for Excellence in Enterprise Learning
Softscape, a leading provider of web-based human capital management software products, today announced that it has been recognized as a finalist in the technology category of the Learning in Practice Awards sponsored by Chief Learning Officer magazine.
Chief Learning Officer (CLO) is the foremost resource in the rapidly growing industry of workforce learning and development. The flagship magazine and related network of publications, electronic media, and international events have made CLO the pre-eminent source of thought leadership for senior-level executives, giving them access to the knowledge and strategies they need to align workforce development with their overall business objectives.
The prestigious CLO Learning in Practice Awards recognize industry leaders who have demonstrated excellence in the design and delivery of workforce learning and development programs. The awards ceremony will be held at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, October 2, 2007 in conjunction with the Fall 2007 Chief Learning Officer Symposium.
Softscape's feature-rich Learning & Development Suite manages all aspects of employee education, while providing inherent and necessary links to performance management and goal alignment. It provides a set of tightly integrated tools – including skills assessment, 360 multi-source feedback, learning management, learning content management, succession planning, and career planning – for assessing workers, establishing development targets, and creating specific plans to reach development goals. The Learning & Development Suite facilitates the training of employees and sharing of knowledge and can serve as a motivation and retention tool by providing a means for continual development and advancement.
“We received a record number of nominations this year, and our expert panel of judges, composed of industry experts and executives from some of the world’s largest and most-respected companies, determined that Softscape was one of the top entries,” said Norm Kamikow, editor in chief of Chief Learning Officer magazine.
