Whether it’s through self-directed modules, interactive training or curriculum-based company programs, our learning and development team is there to support company and individual growth.” The Training APEX Awards ranking is determined by assessing a range of qualitative and quantitative factors, including financial investment in employee development, the scope of development programs, how closely such development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives, and their effectiveness in terms of behavior change and business impact. Companies that want to be considered for Training APEX Awards ranking complete a detailed application, which is scored both quantitatively by an outside research and statistical data company and qualitatively by Training magazine’s editor/publisher and Training Hall of Fame representatives. “We salute the 2024 Training APEX Awards winners’ training brilliance, out-of-this-world innovation and deep dedication to employee learning and development,” said Lorri Freifeld, editor/publisher of Training magazine. “These organizations continue to shine a light on the vital role training plays in organizational success.”   *Kimball Midwest is a family-owned national distributor of maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) products that has been providing superior products and superior service since 1923. The company services customers across the nation from its corporate office and distribution center in Columbus, Ohio, and distribution centers strategically located in Dallas, Texas; Newtown, Connecticut; Reno, Nevada; and Savannah, Georgia.* [<< Previous Post](https://news.kimballmidwest.com/conway-center-centennial-award) [Next Post >>](https://news.kimballmidwest.com/top-workplaces-2024) Have a Question For Us?
