2012 Top Employer Awards
Employee Engagement Award
To be eligible for the Employee Engagement Award, employers should demonstrate a commitment to and strategy for employees to feed back their policy views.
To be eligible for the Employee Engagement Award, employers should demonstrate:
A commitment to and strategy for enabling employees at all levels to feed back their views on policies relevant to working parents, such as flexible working, and a willingness to take the feedback on board. Organisations should be able to demonstrate, through case studies and publications/web material, organisation-wide attempts to encourage employees to voice their opinions, for instance, through women’s networks, return to work networks, annual surveys of staff, etc, and how feedback has been acted upon by the organisation.
Application Process
In order to be considered, all interested employers are required to complete an application covering key areas as outlined in the guidance above.
It is vital that employers include data that is specific and relevant to the category they choose to enter so that the judges can see why they should be considered for a specific Award. Where possible, employers should strengthen their application by including case studies which are relevant to the category applied for as well as evidence that policies are being monitored and developed, such as statistics on take-up of policies.
Employers may choose to enter more than one category. Entries should be no longer than four sides of A4 paper, but supporting evidence can be of any length. Six copies of each entry should be submitted by post.
There will be an initial screening by Workingmums.co.uk and a shortlist compiled. Shortlisted entrants will then be judged by a panel of judges that will include experts on the issues concerned. The application will be judged purely on the application form and evidence supplied – hence the need for a strong, relevant application.
The Top Employer award winner will be selected from those shortlisted for all the other categories. Winners will be announced at the WorkingMums Top Employer Award ceremony in central London in November 2012.
