Canadian HR Reporter is very pleased to present the 5-Star Learning & Development winners for 2021.

So many offerings in the human resources space have had to quickly adapt amid the pandemic, and that definitely includes learning and development.

The winners of the 2021 5-Star Learning & Development demonstrate the need to be continuously evolving the offerings, and planning for the future.

And that includes HRdownloads, which provides access to Canadian HR policies, legislative updates, employee training modules, and advice.

To select the best learning and development (L&D) service providers for 2021, Canadian HR Reporter enlisted some of the industry’s leading professionals. During a 15-week process, our research team conducted one-on-one interviews with HR professionals and surveyed thousands more within Canadian HR Reporter’s network to gain a keen understanding of what HR professionals think of current market offerings.

Participants were first asked about which features of L&D platforms and training providers they thought were most important and then asked how the L&D service providers they dealt with rated based on those attributes.

Across the categories of LMS provider category, the 5-Star winners have scored highly in factors such as: ease of use, ease of integration, technical support, platform features, management reporting and value for money.

In the L&D training provider category, winners were ranked on quality and breadth of content, learner engagement, user experience, value for money and learner outcomes.

At the end of the research period, the providers that received the highest rankings were named 5-Star Award winners.
