At the electrifying Learning Awards 2020 gala in London on Feb. 20, the SweetRush team, along with some 600 European-based L&D peers, awaited the final and top award of the night: Learning Provider of the Year.
San Francisco, Calif., March 9, 2020 — At the Learning Awards 2020, global custom learning solutions provider SweetRush took home the coveted “Learning Provider of the Year” gold award at the Learning & Performance Institute’s gala awards celebration. LPI’s Learning Awards are Europe’s most distinguished Learning and Development honors, and it’s a momentous win that once again demonstrates the impact SweetRush’s way of working and being is impacting the industry.
As the only U.S. finalist among some 100 vendors that night, LPI’s panel of esteemed judges commended SweetRush for its ability to deliver high performance outcomes to its client-partners, its “long term relationships and positive business impact,” and its “near zero turnover” of clients. LPI also called out SweetRush’s cultural “values of respect, caring and commitment,” and its focus on “the impact of increased learner confidence and empathy resulting from” its learning solutions—which combine sound instructional strategy with high-impact creative design to make more engaging, authentic, and relevant experiences for learners.
SweetRush Solution Architect Alexandra Jabs was thrilled to receive the award. “The Learning Awards was such an an extraordinary event for SweetRush to be a part of,” Jabs said. “It was incredible to see and feel the energy and enthusiasm of so many diverse learning vendors from around the world. At the same time, it was deeply moving and inspiring to know that everyone shared the same passion for enabling people to grow and develop the best version of themselves.”
“It is so meaningful to us to be recognized by our peers across the pond,” said Arturo Schwartzberg, SweetRush Chairman and Cofounder. “If I had to speculate, I think the winning formula was a combination of our engaging deliverables, our work supporting nonprofits, and that our culture is one that promotes teamwork, caring, and doing good in the world.”
Alexandra Jabs summed it all up this way: “Winning Learning Provider of the Year is the greatest honor and testament to that bigger vision we all share. Not only is it an opportunity to celebrate innovative, impactful, and successful projects, but more importantly, to recognize the people who bring these relationships, ideas, projects, and experiences to life—both within SweetRush and within our client-partners' organizations. During a time when technology, AI, and automation is growing, it is more important than ever to cultivate the mindsets and behaviors that are unique to human beings—empathy, communication, critical thinking, or questioning, to name a few. To be part of the world that helps to make that type of human-centered learning possible, and to be recognized for doing that work well, is just outstanding.”
