Past Awards Winners Share Their Experience

“The end result after striving for excellence…”

There are numerous benefits to applying for the HR Department of the Year Award, HR Awards for Excellence, and the new CEO of the Year Award, such as:

- Acknowledging the contributions your HR Department has made towards accomplishing your company’s business objectives
- Making your organization the “benchmark” within the HR industry
- Creating positive morale and team spirit within your organization

Some of our past award winners are happy to share real stories of how these benefits were put into action for their organizations.

"Our team was very proud to receive this award because we all worked hard to improve in many areas over the past few years. Also, this award symbolizes the end result after striving for excellence across all functional areas in order to maximize our value to the organizations we support. This has helped us recruit, develop and retain our HR team because we are all proud to be winners and all employees like to be part of a winning team. And of course, it is even more of an honor when you are selected by others you respect in our profession." – Terry Laudal, SVP Human Resources, SAP America, Inc.

“Participating in the process was a very positive experience. Would say it was invigorating. It provided opportunities to take a view of value, contributions and results that was meaningful for the team and for the organization. Every member of the team gave thoughtful consideration to the impact of our work. One of the most fun parts was planning for the onsite visit by the judges. As a team, we made conscious choices about how to approach it and what was important to us. It was a tremendous honor for the organization and the team to receive the award in 2008.” – Dorothy McKelvy, VP, Organization Resources & Development, Project Management Institute, Inc.

All organizations from small to large are invited to submit an application for the awards online at www.HRAwards.org up until the deadline: September 25, 2009.
