The Award for Excellence in Training was introduced by The Hong Kong Management
Association in 1990 with the aim of giving public recognition to trainers
and companies for the contribution that training can make to corporate results.
This year, the award has included a new individual category to give recognition
for individual trainers who have made significant contribution to the human
resources development of their companies as well as the whole community.
The Campaign Award has also been enhanced by adding the “Special Award for
SMEs”.
The judging process of the Award is simple but comprehensive. For the
Campaign Award, the participating companies were required to give a simple
verbal presentation of their training to the Board of Examiners at a Shortlisting
Interview. Shortlisted entries would be invited to submit a five-page
summary of their training programmes. The best six entries would be selected
for the final presentation seminar entitled "Benchmark Your Training
Practices with Some of the Excellent Companies". The six finalists
would deliver a presentation before the Panel of Adjudicators who would
then decide on the winners of the Award.
All entrants of Individual Award needed their company’s nomination to
enter the judging process. They were required to submit a four-page written
submission in English explaining their achievements in human resource
development.
All entrants would be invited to a Presentation and Interview Session during
which they would be given an opportunity to design and deliver a short training
session to be followed by an interview in either English or Cantonese to
the Board of Examiners. The Board of Examiners would decide on the winners
of the Outstanding New Trainer Awards and Distinguished Trainer Awards.
The top three winners of the Distinguished Trainer Awards would be invited
to present before the Panel of Adjudicators at the final presentation seminar
to compete for the Trainer of the Year Award.
