Organized by the Human Resources Development Management Committee of The
Hong Kong Management Association since 1990, the Award for Excellence in
Training 2005 is now open for entries.
It is the only Award of its kind in the Territory giving public recognition
of achievements in training and development to individuals as well as companies,
whether large or small and whatever the nature of their backgrounds or services.
There are two categories for the Award as follows:
Campaign Award
Gold, Silver and Bronze Prizes as well as three Certificates of Merit
will be granted to the top six training entries. In addition, a number
of special awards including Cathay Pacific Airways Best Presentation Award,
Recruit Most Innovative Award and Special Awards for SMEs, will also be
granted to training programmes with excellent performance.
The Campaign Award recognizes those outstanding training programmes that
are not only the best executed but that also clearly fulfill a key business
need in a cost effective manner.
Selection of Campaign Award winners is based on a simple but comprehensive
judging process which includes shortlisting interview, written submission
and final presentation seminar.
At the shortlisting interview, all participating companies will give
a simple 20-minute verbal description (either in English or Cantonese)
of the training they have given, covering all award criteria, to a Board
of Examiners comprising members of the Training Awards Organizing Committee.
Shortlisted entries will be invited to submit a five-page summary of
their training programmes in English. The best six finalists will be selected
and presented their training programmes at the final presentation seminar,
which is a half-day experience sharing seminar, before the Panel of Adjudicators.
Individual Award
The Individual Award, which includes two categories namely Distinguished
Trainer Awards and Outstanding New Trainer Awards, aims to recognize the
outstanding achievement of trainers who have made significant contribution
to the human resources development of their companies as well as the whole
community. An Award will also be given to the best trainer of the year.
All entrants of Individual Award need their companys nomination to enter
the judging process, which includes three stages: written submission,
delivery and interview as well as final presentation seminar.
At the first stage, all entrants will be required to submit a three-page
written submission in English explaining their achievements in human resource
development, a learning process designed by entrants and the evaluation
data from a training event delivered by entrants in the year 2004.
All entrants will be given an opportunity to design and deliver a short
training session and then an interview in either English or Cantonese
to the Board of Examiners. This is to allow the Examiners to see evidence
of the entrants ability to deliver content and manage a training process,
as well as to gain evidence of the entrants contribution to human resources
development of his or her own organization.
Winners of the Distinguished Trainer Awards and Outstanding New Trainer
Awards will be selected by the Board of Examiners. The top three winners
of the Distinguished Trainer Awards will be invited to compete for the
Trainer of the Year Award by the Panel of Adjudicators at the final presentation
seminar.
All winners will be presented with trophies or certificates at the annual
Susan Yuen Memorial Lecture and Dinner, which is one of Associations
most important events in its annual calendar.
Participating in the Award has been beneficial to both the companies
and the HRD professionals and trainers. In addition to an excellent opportunity
for publicity for the winning companies, the Award offers HRD professionals
and trainers the opportunity to have their efforts better recognized by
their organizations, peer professionals and the community. Moreover, the
Award provides additional motivation to HRD and training professionals
to extend their efforts.
