These nominations are a testament to Mind Tools’ innovative approach to transforming workplace learning experiences and their partnership with industry-leading clients to drive measurable business impact.

Mind Tools has been shortlisted for the following awards:

Mind Tools have been shortlisted twice in this category. The first nomination celebrates the success of a blended learning programme designed in partnership with South Western Railway (SWR).

Facing ongoing industry disruption and leadership challenges, SWR sought to equip its leaders with the skills to navigate change, foster collaboration, and support teams. The programme resulted in a 12% increase in leadership capability.

This initiative has had a tangible impact on leadership morale and effectiveness within the company.

For the second nomination, Deloitte collaborated with Mind Tools to build Coaching Skills for Effective Conversations – a scalable and innovative, blended programme. It has been designed for everyone in Deloitte irrespective of their role or grade giving all employees the opportunity to learn how to use coaching skills to have better professional conversations. Participants build their skills through digital modules, weekly coaching practice and use of job aids. The programme is accredited by The Institute of Leadership and upon completion individuals earn Deloitte certificates and Credly badges.

Mind Tools’ collaboration with Heathrow Airport is recognised for its innovative approach to fostering inclusivity and belonging. The programme, titled Right Where I Belong, used real employee stories and interactive scenarios to create an engaging, experiential learning course. The result was an increase in representation at senior levels, exceeding expectations in employee feedback on workplace culture and inclusivity.
