The eminent panel of judges, comprising of prominent local and international HR professionals and industrialists, will pay special attention to processes that enhance productivity, promote employee growth and give organisations a competitive, long term advantage in their respective fields of business. The scientifically designed evaluation tool which is in the form of a comprehensive questionnaire will first evaluate the best practices of participants against established norms and benchmarks facilitated by AON Hewitt. Short listed organizations will then be ranked and assessed according to a set process by a panel of independent auditors from AON Hewitt. Points will be given accordingly and the ‘Super 10' Gold & Silver winners will be announced at a formal ceremony, The HRM Awards Night, in July 2012. A key feature of the independent judging process is that strict confidentiality is maintained throughout the evaluation, with organizations being identified by a code number based on points/merit and the names of the participants being released, to judges, committee members and the public, only after the winners have been confirmed.

 

The Awards Ceremony will also coincide with a Learning Conference that will focus on the best practices advocated in the HRM Awards, as well as other topics of relevance with regard to human talent management in the present local and global context. The Learning Conference 2012 will create a platform for business leaders, CEOs, CFOs and Human Resource professionals to deliberate and discuss how HR creates sustainable growth for organizations. Thought provoking sessions on multiplying value through employee brand equity, ROI through high employee engagement, creating the workplace of the future etc., together with power packed technical sessions on HR metrics for efficiency and effectiveness will also be discussed .
