2 0 1 7
The winners of each of the HRM Awards are not known until they are announced on stage at the gala ceremony, marking the end of a long journey that commenced much earlier this year. Stage One of the process took place between July and October, with the HRM Awards accepting nomination entries from all HR and related industry professionals. Total nominations, including self-nominations, were limited to eight per company. The second stage occurred in November, with the HRM Awards 2017 team having presented a summary of all eligible applications to the esteemed judging panel for their consideration and review. The judging panel comprises of independent HR experts and thought leaders from a wide range of sectors.
Finalists were notified last month, with the full list unveiled for the first time here in HRM Asia magazine. The third phase involves each of the finalists in each of the categories preparing a detailed report on their candidacy. The reports will be based on specific category criteria, with finalists given over four weeks to compile and submit. The final stage is where the panel of esteemed judges will review all finalists’ submissions. Judges will rely on their years of experience and knowledge to evaluate each of the finalists, and then select the winners. Their adjudications will be kept secret until the gala ceremony on February 24. Next year’s event will see 206 category finalists from a total of 108 organisations. They will stand against each other to be crowned Singapore’s best in each category. Among them, 64 companies will be making their first appearance as finalists in the 2017 HRM Awards. They include Vodafone, Tower Transit Singapore, The Body Shop International (Asia-Pacific), and NBCUniversal.
