HERNDON, VA--(Marketwired - Sep 12, 2014) - Meridian Knowledge Solutions, a leading learning and performance technology provider, today announced it has won a coveted Brandon Hall Group bronze award for excellence in learning. The award specifically recognizes Meridian along with its customer, CSX Corporation, for its highly successful compliance training efforts, supported by Meridian. The full list of winners can be found on the Brandon Hall awards page.
CSX Corporation utilizes the Meridian Global® solution to deliver a comprehensive ethics and compliance training program to more than 4,700 employees. The organization's strong ethics-based organizational culture drives its adherence to a strict set of guiding ethical principles and compliance objectives. Meridian enables CSX staff to successfully complete required eLearning courses, while providing CSX with the ability to easily manage, track, and measure compliance -- ensuring that it meets its full reporting requirements. The CSX program reduces costs associated with unethical conduct through mandatory interactive courses that engage employees and challenge them to consider the ethical quandaries of the business world, promoting a culture of accountability. Because surveys are bundled with training, CSX is able to collect data more efficiently.
"What we do for our customers is about much more than learning," stated Ramsey Chambers, Vice President of Strategy and Product Management for Meridian. "It's about learning that drives business value. In our work with CSX Corporation, we have the pleasure of helping them meet one of their most important business objectives through the support of their comprehensive compliance training program. We're honored that Brandon Hall has recognized this program and congratulate CSX on their industry leadership."

"Meridian's product has given us the tools to achieve a 100 percent completion rate for ethics training, while ensuring an optimal user experience. We're thrilled to be named as a joint winner for the Brandon Hall Excellence award with our trusted partner, Meridian."
"I'm honored to recognize this group of elite organizations with phenomenal programs across HCM functions. The winners truly exemplified excellence around the critical business dimensions across the award categories, including a high standard of performance in their organization and demonstrated clear, measurable business results through these innovative programs," said Rachel Cooke, COO of Brandon Hall Group.
