Why applying

There are many benefits in taking part in a professionally organized corporate award initiative, not the least of which is for an employer organization to look to the pursuit of excellence in all it does. As such, the participation to the Best Employer Awards is neither a search for magnificence nor a waste of time. Instead, it is a smart and strategic business consideration that may deliver real value.

Recognition
Participating to the Best Employers Awards represents a multi-directional recognition you get as both an HR department and a corporate organization. Presenting a case or initiative is a sign of recognition and gratitude towards the people who have hardly worked on it. Secondly, it helps gaining the acknowledgment from the entire company’s staff, future talents, clients, suppliers, industry experts, media, etc.

Employer brand
Whether you are a small, medium or large organization, participating to the Awards -and possibly winning one of them- generates visibility and buzz, both internally and externally. Through dynamic communication channels, the Awards are a fantastic lever to employer branding, talent attractiveness and industry recognition.

Governance
Finally, participating to the Awards is a tremendous exercise to validate your people strategy and corporate directions, assess the real HR value and benefits of what you do, benchmark against the best, and enhance your company’s ability to think forward and strive new standards of people centricity and organizational excellence.
