1. Verify validity and accuracy of the data provided: Review submission
against the supporting evidence provided, company reports plus other
information available in the public domain and obtain additional
information or clarification from the company if needed. This occurs
either via email or a company visit;
2. Assess the quality of the submissions against the criteria and their
evaluation questions and assign points;
3. Select winning entries;
4. Provide feedback to all participants: Written feedback from the judging
panel should be sent both to awarded companies, as well as to those
that were not awarded. This way, there is opportunity for learning and
development, as the feedback reports can be used to guide the
company’s improvement efforts. (Example: see in Appendix 1, UK,
Awards for Excellence.)
