Originally announced to attendees last week during HCI’s 5th Annual Human Capital Summit, HCI honored Booz Allen Hamilton as the first winner of the award. From a diverse field of nominees, HCI honored the organization for making remarkable strides to improve the science and practice of talent management, both within its own firm and for its government clients.
