SBI has won these awards in three categories viz. Best Learning Program supporting a Change Transformation Business Strategy, Best Use of Blended Learning and Best Unique or Innovative Learning and Development Program.

Commenting on the occasion, Alok Choudhary, DMD (HR) & CDO said “This honor has been bestowed upon SBI in recognition of the efforts made by the Bank in re-igniting the passion amongst its employees to excel in all spheres. Through Nayi Disha, SBI appreciated the workforce for its commitment towards customer service excellence while serving with same rigour in even the remotest corners of the country. Our belief that Nayi Disha will infuse a fresh sense of optimism amongst our valuable employees, has been proven right, and we will endeavour to engage our human capital in best possible manner at all times.”

The Brandon Hall Excellence Awards, also known as the Academy Awards of Learning & Development, recognize the best organizations that have successfully deployed programs, strategies, modalities, processes, systems, and tools to achieve measurable results.
