Tork® Interactive Clean Hospital Training and Tork Clean Hands Training were named Innovation of the Year at the ISSA Show 2021 North America in Las Vegas.

The trainings were created alongside industry experts and leading behavioral scientists and designed to follow industry best practices in an engaging way via gamification. These trainings are available in multiple languages for a broad reach and improved retention.
