DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - Oct 9, 2012) - Triple Creek, the market's leading provider of knowledge sharing and collaboration solutions for the enterprise, recently received a gold award in the 2012 Brandon Hall Excellence in Talent Management Program. The only gold award winner in the category of coaching and mentoring excellence, Triple Creek's award application highlighted the use of Open Mentoring by a global consumer healthcare products company. The client company is electing to keep its name private for policy reasons. 

"This client represents a best-practice implementation of global knowledge sharing and collaboration," said Randy Emelo, president and CEO of Triple Creek. According to Emelo, the client set a goal of having 1,000 associates participate in the program the first year, which they quickly surpassed. Within 16 months, they had 2,300 people participating in more than 50 countries, and they saw a 7-point increase in training and career development survey scores due to the mentoring program. 

"Our company wanted a solution that would facilitate connections and collaboration across our entire organization -- not just in isolated pockets. Open Mentoring's flexibility gives associates the ability to make meaningful connections on their own whenever they need specialized help or support. The solution is a perfect fit for our company's emphasis on building a culture of ongoing learning, and in fact has gone viral among our associates," said the client company's spokesperson.

"All submissions undergo a rigorous judging process," said Mike Cooke, president and CEO of Brandon Hall Group. "Winners exemplify exceedingly high standards of performance and demonstrate clear, measurable business results through these innovative programs." A full list of winners can be seen at http://brandonhall.com/awards/excellence-in-talent-management/winners-of-the-2012-excellence-in-talent-management.html.
