IF OUR ORGANIZATION SPONSORS THE MYANMAR EMPLOYER AWARDS; CAN WE STILL COMPETE IN THE AWARD PROGRAM?
​Yes you can. The Myanmar Employer Awards judging is a completely separate process and is managed by an independent panel of judges of whom have no conflict of interest or undisclosed association with the Myanmar Employer Awards event. Brands choose to sponsor the Myanmar Employer Awards campaign in order to further enhance their brand awareness among the campaign's target audience.
WHAT IS THE MYANMAR EMPLOYER AWARDS JUDGING PROCESS?
The judging process consists of two stages, the initial shortlisting judging and the final judging. The shortlisting process is taken out by a panel of judges, with a minimum of five separate judges assessing each and every application.
The final judging takes place in a single day in mid-October with over fifteen international and local judges. The judges are allocated a full day to judge the shortlisted applications. This judging day is done under the guidance and auditing of Deloitte Myanmar. The results are then audited and confidentially reserved by Deloitte until the Myanmar Employer Awards Gala night.
HOW DO YOU PROVIDE LEGITIMACY AND A FAIR JUDGING PROCESS?
The Myanmar Employer Awards endeavors to employ judges of only the highest caliber and applicable experience to the HR industry. We carefully handpick a panel of international judges who are not only regarded as thought leaders in the industry but also whom have no previous engagement to business undertaken in Myanmar. In regards to the local judges, there are stringent guidelines in place to eliminate any conflicts of interest. Local judges may NOT assess any applications under the following circumstances;
-
An organization in which they are currently employed, contracting or consulting.
-
An organization in which they have been employed, contracted or consulted for within the past twenty-four months.
-
An organization that is in direct competition with the judge’s current employment, contract or consultation assignment.
