The HR Department of the Year Awards recognizes and honors HR teams in the Delaware Valley who have produced measurable results for the companies and organizations they serve. The awards program offers an excellent way to thoroughly challenge your HR team and reward them for their efforts.
Review a few of our judges’ thoughts on the value the awards can bring to your HR team:
"In my opinion, The Human Resources Department of the Year Award offers a unique opportunity to challenge the strength of your HR program. The thoroughness with which nominees are evaluated provides a meaningful way to validate the effectiveness of your HR function. My team was the recipient of the 2008 award, so I know how in depth the evaluation was, how well it reinforced for us the good work we do and how HR can provide a tangible, measurable impact on a company's business. I would encourage anyone who believes in the value of Human Resources to participate." - Andrew J. McGill, Sr. Vice President, Human Resources & Facilities Management, The PMA Companies
“Human Resources provides leadership in many areas that do not receive the recognition that is earned internally. However, without the strategic leadership and work that is done, most organizations, no matter how well lead at the top, could achieve their strategic goals. People are our most important, valuable and costly asset. The focused leadership by HR professionals makes this asset more valuable to the organization and provides the opportunity for personal satisfaction and career growth. Forthese reasons, the opportunity to be judged by our professional peers and to be recognized is of great value and satisfaction to those performing these valuable services. In the scheme of things, recognition within our profession is the most important recognition of all. We who are recognized have achievedsomething of great value.” - John R. Payne, Director, Human Resources and Corporate Services, WHYY, Inc.
"Being a participant in the HRDOY process and then being a judge the last two years , I can see the advantages of deciding to submit an application. Preparing for the entry required we carefully examined all of our HR efforts. It helped us to clarify our assessment of our strengths and weaknesses. Being a judge you get to witness the tremendous work being done in our field and the great pride the HR professionals have in their work and their organization. The meeting with the CEO gives the organization an opportunity to scrutinize the HR group and see how it functions to accomplish their mission. It definitely is a win-win just by participating" - Ed Dunn, Retired HR Executive
“The awards event was well organized and conducted. It was also attended by participants and a variety of organizations supporting HR functions and organizations throughout the area.” – Dorothy McKelvey, VP, Organization Resources & Development, Project Management Institute, Inc.
