The Absorbies are Absorb's annual awards program recognizing real learning success stories from our customer community. This year, we’re recognizing strategic learning — the kind that ties directly to business outcomes like retention, revenue, and engagement.
We’re celebrating customers who are using Absorb LMS and our Together mentoring platform to solve business problems and create measurable impact.
Each award highlights a different way our customers are using learning to solve business challenges, build skills, and drive measurable outcomes.
For the most impactful and broad use of Absorb across multiple audiences, learning types, or geographies—including internal, external, or partner training—with a measurable impact on organizational success.
For organizations using fresh or forward-thinking strategies to develop skills and capabilities—whether through new technology, novel delivery methods, or unique learning experiences.
For the most effective customer education initiative—designed to help customers build knowledge, gain confidence, and succeed with your products or services. This award celebrates programs that improve customer outcomes, whether through onboarding, training, or long-term enablement.
For programs that demonstrate a clear return on learning investment—where results such as increased revenue, decreased costs, or operational gains can be directly tied back to the learning initiative.
For the most effective campaign or initiative that drove learners to engage with training. This award recognizes creative approaches—like events, incentives, internal marketing, or champion programs—that sparked real participation and excitement.
For programs that use Together’s platform to accelerate learning and development, and build a more connected, collaborative, and growth-focused culture. Whether through mentoring, coaching, or peer learning, this award recognizes initiatives that strengthen relationships, support development, and deliver measurable impact.
