Well-deserved Recognition for Lumina Learning

We are the next-generation inventors of digital personality tools.  We help organisations by delivering smart data with simple, intuitive language to help you recognise and act upon the strengths of your individuals, teams and leaders. Every tool we build to select, onboard and develop, challenges the outdated status quo of traditional personality assessments.

Our solutions are more accurate, inclusive and engaging, showing people as they truly are without assumptions or putting people into unhelpful boxes that might limit their potential. Ultimately, our global Practitioner network helps organisations discover the latest expertise in selection and development, exciting continuous curiosity in exploring behaviour, performance and personality to power up your people strategy. Read more on how we’ve been changing the game for the last ten years and where our future lies here.

Our overall efforts and success have been widely recognised this year. Having already won the award for Most Innovative Use of Learning Technologies at Learning Pool, we are finalists for a whopping 8 submissions across 5 of the award categories for the upcoming ABP awards! Since being established in 2014, The Association for Business Psychology Awards is now a central part of celebrating and highlighting achievements within the world of business psychology.

Gaining recognition from the ABP is a prestigious honour that we are delighted to receive. The ABP is a world-renowned hub and voice of business psychology, on a mission to promote professional excellence for those involved in improving business performance and the quality of life at work.

Attending the ABP virtual conference back in October was informative and inspiring. The five-day event focused on looking at life beyond Covid, what we expect in the coming years and how it will affect the workforce in terms of wellbeing, diversity, purpose, and connectivity.

The upcoming awards will follow the same theme, recognising and showcasing excellence in business psychology throughout the pandemic. The awards ceremony will take place at the beginning of next year on Thursday 24 March at Regents Park Holiday Inn.

Not only do we have the ceremony to look forward to, but there will also be a one-day in-person conference taking place before the event, on the same day. After the momentum gained from the October conference, we are itching for the chance to network in person because, let’s face it, networking doesn’t have the same feel to it behind a computer screen.

We hope to see many of you there for the day, which will be jam-packed full of speaker sessions, workshops, and case studies from the finalists for the awards. The awards ceremony will take place in the evening with the promise of a 3-course dinner and a night full of celebration. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a great evening. Book your place here.
