The Presentation Ceremony of the Award will be held on Thursday, 11 September 2008 at the 23rd Susan Yuen Memorial Lecture. 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. Since 2005, the Award has included the 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 judging process of the Award is vigorous and comprehensive. For the Campaign Awards, 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 Awards 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. Shortlisted 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 Distinguished Trainer Awardees would be invited to present before the Panel of Adjudicators at the final presentation seminar to compete for the Trainer of the Year Award.
