The ASTD BEST Award recognizes organizations that demonstrate enterprise-wide success through world-class organizational training and a committed company culture of employee learning and development. Ryan ranked 16th out of 104 organizations in nine countries that were evaluated. These organizations submitted quantitative and qualitative information to ASTD about their learning and development practices and programs. The applications were assessed in a blind review by members of the ASTD BEST Awards advisory committee comprised of a select group of experts in the learning and development field.
“The ASTD BEST Awards are the training industry’s most rigorous and coveted recognition,” said Tony Bingham, President and CEO of the American Society for Training and Development. “The award-winning organizations that were recognized have created innovative learning cultures and demonstrated their commitment to workplace learning and development, even during today’s challenging economic climate.”
“Perhaps the greatest value we provide to our clients is the transfer of knowledge,” said G. Brint Ryan, CEO and Managing Principal of Ryan. “Our culture of learning and commitment to training and development is fundamental to delivering client service excellence, as well as professional growth opportunities for our employees.”
“Our innovative training and development programs are designed to support superior client service while enhancing the growth and development of our professionals,” said Delta Emerson, Senior Vice President and Chief Organizational Development Officer. “This ASTD BEST Award recognizes Ryan’s commitment to build and maintain one of the tax industry’s leading training and development organizations.”
This is the eighth year of the ASTD BEST Awards. More information about the 2010 ASTD BEST Award winners can be found in the October 2010 issue of T+D magazine and online at www.astd.org/best.
