The way corporations perceive and use human resources could finally be turning a corner if applications to this year's HKIHRM/SCMP People Management Awards are anything to go by. Judges of the competition concurred that the standard of candidates this year was higher across the board, resulting in a particularly challenging judging and decision-making process.
'The standard of applicants was amazing this year. They were extremely well prepared and put a lot of effort into their presentations. I wish they could all have won first prize,' said Andrea Zavadszky, editor of Special Reports and Classified Post at the South China Morning Post.
