November 7, 2025 – Kimball Midwest has received a national award for its learning and development efforts for a fifth time.
Kimball Midwest was among 32 organizations honored November 6 as part of Chief Learning Officer’s 15th LearningElite Awards program, appearing alongside organizations like AT&T, Nationwide and Verizon.
The LearningElite awards were developed in 2011 under the guidance of chief learning officers, senior learning and development practitioners and subject matter experts. They continue to serve as an annual benchmark and evaluation tool for the industry’s top performers and play the part of a comprehensive evaluation of an organization’s functional L&D areas, such as leadership development, technological adoption, executive buy-in, content development and delivery, among others.
The judges score organizations based on their strategy and performance in the five LearningElite dimensions: learning strategy, leadership commitment, learning execution, learning impact and business performance results.
“At Kimball Midwest, we believe our associates are the foundation of our success,” Director of Sales Development Kate Callison said. “That’s why we’re deeply committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and upskilling. By investing in development opportunities that align with both personal growth and business goals, we empower our associates to thrive in their careers and contribute meaningfully to our shared future.”
