Each year, the PHRA recognizes all types of organizations – large and small, new and established, for-profit and not-for-profit – from across the region. The one thing they have in common is that they are committed to being the best they can be through helping their employees be the best they can be. The People Do Matter Awards Celebration was created to encourage effective practices in human resources, the People Do Matter initiative recognizes southwestern Pennsylvania employers whose human resource practices best demonstrate the importance of providing workers a positive return on their contributions of time, attention, ideas, knowledge, passion, energy, and social networks to ensure productivity, efficiency, and business results.

Learning and Development: Strategies to enhance knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. The focus here is on approaches to link learning with business strategy, measure and value the firm’s investments in learning, leverage intellectual capital, or implement new approaches to training and learning.
Work Structures and Processes: Strategies to facilitate change, improve productivity, and create value in the marketplace. The focus here is on approaches to communicate vision and strategy throughout the organization, align processes and systems with business strategy, adapt to technological change, of harness high involvement to drive change.
