Cinecraft Wins Silver and Bronze in the Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards

August 23, 2024

Cinecraft is proud to share that we took home Silver and Bronze awards from the 2024 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards®

The 2024 Brandon Hall Group HCM Excellence Awards® recognizes best practices for initiatives in Learning and Development, Talent Management, Leadership Development, Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Sales Performance, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and the Future of Work.

The HCM Excellence Awards®, which are awarded annually by the prestigious Brandon Hall Group, recognize the best learning and development (L&D) organizations around the world for outstanding learning and talent development programs.

For our work with Cinemark, we earned a silver award in the Best New Hire Onboarding Program category. This onboarding course for movie theater employees features Tik-Tok-style task demonstration videos, behavior modeling of customer interactions, and video-based practice scenarios to help new employees feel more prepared and engaged on their first day.

In partnership with CarWars, we earned a bronze award in the Best Program for Sales Training and Performance category. In this sales training course car dealers practice talking to customers in simulations that become increasingly difficult with game mechanics like a satisfaction meter and a timer. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used to provide additional feedback and direct learners to the appropriate practice simulation.

We look forward to creating more award-winning learning experiences that bring measurable results for our clients!

“Excellence Award recipients have consistently demonstrated their commitment to employee growth and well-being through innovative human capital strategies. These organizations have implemented HCM programs that drive outstanding business results and create a positive and empowering work environment. Our rigorous evaluation process has confirmed these programs as industry-leading in their effectiveness and impact on employee satisfaction,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Operating Officer Rachel Cooke, HCM Excellence Awards® program leader.

Entries were evaluated by a panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, Brandon Hall Group analysts, and executives based on these criteria:

  • Alignment to their business need and environment.
  • Program design, functionality and delivery.
  • Adoption, integration, user experience, innovation and creativity.
  • Overall effectiveness, impact, and measurable benefits.

Excellence Award winners will continue to be honored at Brandon Hall Group’s HCM Excellence Conference, January 28-30, 2025, at the Hilton West Palm Beach, Florida. Select winners will also serve as presenters in breakout sessions, sharing their leading practices during the conference.

“Our award recipients demonstrate an unwavering commitment to excellence in human capital management,” said Brandon Hall Group Chief Executive Officer Mike Cooke. “This year, we’ve witnessed some of the most groundbreaking applications of HCM strategies in our organization’s history. Many of these innovations leverage cutting-edge technologies and foster unprecedented levels of cross-functional collaboration, resulting in remarkable improvements in operational efficiency and employee engagement.”
