People Do Matter Awards Overview
Great employees don’t just happen – great companies create and nurture them. Let us know how your human resource practices enable greater employee productivity and provide increased value to your organization’s customers. By demonstrating that people do matter to your company, you may be recognized as one of the best employers in Southwestern Pennsylvania!
Each year, the PHRA and its partner organizations recognize 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. It’s that simple.
Recognition
We recognize effective human resources practices in three categories:
1. People. Strategies that enable recruiting excellence, retention of a high quality workforce, clear rewards, commitment to diversity, and/or a mutually respectful, flexible workplace.
2. Learning and Development. Strategies to achieve exceptional employee performance through skills advancement, knowledge creation, and knowledge transfer.
3. Work Structure and Processes. Strategies that facilitate positive change, increase organizational and employee productivity, and create value in the marketplace and for the company’s customers.
