INTRODUCTION TO THE BREAKTHROUGH AWARD
In line with the changing business landscape, the Breakthrough Award is presented to organisations that demonstrate innovative breakthroughs in their human capital practices.
The Breakthrough Award aims to nurture role models in human capital practices and set the benchmark for other organisations. It hopes to encourage companies to innovate and improve continuously in human capital practices.
AWARD CATEGORIES
To better reflect the various needs of different companies, we will categorise participants into two sectors, large-sized companies and small-sized enterprises.
Small-sized enterprises are companies with an annual turnover of < SGD100 million.
Large-sized companies are companies with an annual turnover > SGD100 million.
JUDGING CRITERIA
ASSESSMENT PROCESS & TIMELINE
Upon receiving your application, the HCBA committee will evaluate your company’s situation, future plans and objectives. A team of assessors will diagnose your organisation’s HC practices, using the HCBA Diagnostic Tool, and develop a set of recommendations to elevate your HC standing among your competitors.
