People Excellence Award

The future of organisations depends on developing a people strategy that enables them to remain competitive in a global economy. People Excellence is about developing people to excel, to be the best and do their best for customers. It is about engaging people in the business of organisation and challenging them to scale new heights for the organisations and themselves.

Launched in 2001, the People Excellence Award (PE Award) is the highest accolade given to organisations for people excellence. It is conferred upon the best of the best with a total approach to managing people and achieving high performance through its people systems. The Award recognises and celebrates organisations whose outstanding people management capability has contributed significantly to business excellence.

The Award supports SPRING’s business excellence initiative which provides organisations with a framework to develop and strengthen their management systems and processes to achieve high performance and be more competitive. It is based on the business excellence niche standard for people that support the framework which is aligned with the business excellence frameworks adopted for the US Malcom Baldrige Quality Award, European Quality Award, Japan Quality Award, and the Australia Business Excellence Award.
