Application and Judging Process

  • Application is completed and submitted via online. (Please be sure to answer all questions thoroughly as you will not have another chance to go into your submission and make changes).
  • Once all application forms have been received and recorded, the judges will begin their analysis which is broken down into two separate stages and takes about one month. 
  • In stage one, the judges will review the application form in its entirety.
  • The second stage includes phone and/or in-person interviews conducted by the judges with the HR department and those stakeholders such as HR department attorneys, accountants, benefit providers, placement and staffing agencies or consultants, who would be able to give relevant feedback on the application submitted. This only applies to the HR Department Award; there are no interviews with the Excellence Award Applications.
  • Applicants and judges reserve a seat at the Awards Dinner and Presentation on Thursday, Nov. 13, 2008, at 5:30 pm. Applicants should urge the department to reserve a seat at the awards dinner where the winners will be announced and presented with an award.
