ATD Dallas Recognizes Sabre with AXIS Award for Leadership Development

Award-winning Leadership Excellence program created in partnership with BTS

The Association for Talent Development (ATD) Dallas Chapter has recognized Sabre Corporation SABR, the leading technology provider to the global travel industry, with a first place AXIS Award in the Leadership Development category for the company's Leadership Excellence program, which was created in partnership with BTS. The winners, which were announced at the annual AXIS Awards Gala on December 5, are listed here. The AXIS Awards recognize organizations in the areas of Talent Management, Organization Development, Learning Solutions and Program Management.

Sabre's Leadership Excellence program focuses on driving Sabre's business into the future through their people. Specifically, it centers on: driving strategic alignment, fostering a culture of collaboration and customer-centricity, developing leadership capabilities needed to accelerate business results, and improving business acumen by better understanding the company's business model and interrelationships across businesses.

"BTS is delighted to congratulate Sabre on this recognition and we thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with their team to create the award-winning Leadership Excellence program," says Matthew Prostko, Managing Director at BTS. "Focused on their most senior executive leaders, Leadership Excellence embodies one of BTS' strongest beliefs – that business and people leadership challenges never present themselves separately from one another, and are inextricably linked. As such, leadership development experiences should always present these challenges together, and in the most contextually relevant way. Leadership Excellence equips Sabre leaders to execute in the moment, with competence and confidence."
