Explorance and Partner Clarkston Consulting Wins 2020 Gold Award for Excellence in Talent Management from Brandon Hall Group

Montreal – August 25, 2020 – Explorance, a leader in journey analytics solutions, along with partner Clarkston Consulting, won a coveted gold award for excellence in the talent management category from Brandon Hall Group. Clarkston Consulting and Explorance jointly applied to the Brandon Hall Group award, and the winners were announced on August 20, 2020.

Since 2002, Clarkston has collected an annual employee engagement survey. In collaboration with Explorance, they created an innovative approach to analyzing the data they collected in 2019 to create new insights. Using this new approach, the teams at Clarkston and Explorance were able to analyze the survey results to identify initiatives that will positively impact the employee experience, improve overall employee engagement, and consequently drive the greatest results for their people and business.

“It is refreshing to see how an organization can drive meaningful improvement in the overall employee experience through deliberate action from key strategic employee engagement survey insights,” said Samer Saab, CEO of Explorance. “We are proud of our association with Clarkston, through the leverage of Blue Experience Management platform and methodology, in driving this recognition from  Brandon Hall Group around excellence in Talent Management.”

“Organizations around the world highly value Brandon Hall Group Excellence Awards — so much so that we received a record number of applications in the middle of a global pandemic,” said Rachel Cooke, Brandon Hall Group COO, and leader of the HCM Excellence Awards Program. “The awards provide valuable recognition and validation of best practices in all areas of HCM at a time when they have never been more important to both employers and employees.”

The entries for the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence awards were reviewed by a panel of veterans, independent senior industry experts, analysts from Brandon Hall Group, and executives. They evaluated based on the following criteria: fit the need, design of the program, functionality, innovation, and overall measurable benefits.

The award winners will be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference to be held on January 26-28, 2021, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida.

“The Excellence Awards serve the critical function of reinforcing the essential business benefit of creating great experiences for candidates and employees,” Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke said. “All award winners must demonstrate that their HCM programs drive bottom-line business results. That’s what sets our awards program apart from all others.”
