HCM	Learning and Development	Best Use of Games or Simulations for Learning	Merck and ETU	Use of simulations to develop behaviors that increase employees' ability to respond to workplace risks appropriately.	Gold	2023	Merck sought to “Reimagine Mandatory Training” globally to improve engagement, shift from awareness to a deeper focus on behavior change, and optimize learning time through innovation. The goal was to build compliance IQ to empower the Merck workforce to make compliant decisions daily.

Repeated learning at the foundational level isn’t challenging and doesn’t actually equip employees to make in-the-moment decisions when an incident occurs. The Reimagine Mandatory Training team was formed to transform the approach. Its goals included. 1. Improve behavior by demonstrating proficiency. 2. Improve learner experience. 3. Optimize learner seat time.

Tech	Learning and Development Technology	Best Advance in Content Management Technology (CMT)	F. Hoffmann-La Roche AG and DelphianLogic	Roche_Best Advance in Content Management Technology_LCLM	Gold	2022	The Roche Molecular Diagnostics (RMD) team caters to over 170,000 employees. The team manages thousands of hours of learning content. Roche's learning ecosystem ensures a smooth learning delivery and learner experience of this content. However, it does not address the team's mounting challenge of storing and governing their ever-increasing content assets smoothly. Historically, the team had stored their content assets across 600+ storage locations. While these locations addressed content storage needs, they greatly hindered the team's ability to efficiently manage content. They were opaque and disparate, with no visibility of what content needs to be governed and when. They also posed access challenges. This impacted the team's efficiency and ROI. So, the business commissioned DelphianLogic to design a centralised solution that will not just provide greater visibility and control but will also be scalable and extensible to sustain its effectiveness over several years. The result â€” the LCLM.
