What is new with the HBC International Awards second cycle?
If you know the Harvard Business Council International Awards, you are familiar with the passion and dedication we put into our work. We love spoiling our applicants with a unique service that makes them feel special and valued, precisely as they deserve!
We monitor our previous participants' experiences, expectations, and satisfaction rates to understand what we are doing well and what, on the other hand, should be improved. Based on their feedback, we understood what advancements they would have appreciated for a new cycle, and we did our very best to introduce changes in record times that we are confident everyone will love.
So, what is new with the HBC International Awards second cycle?
1. An innovative e-portal
Our IT team worked tirelessly to design and develop an e-portal for the Awards applications. That means that the process is now fully automated, and our applicants can have complete control over their submissions. Through the online platform, they can monitor the number of applications sent, update their personal or company details, review our criteria guidebook and assessment fees, fill in the application forms at their own pace and convenience, check their applications' status, and download the feedback report.
2. Physical ceremony
One of the perks of our Awards is the international exposure they provide to the participants. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, we could not invite our applicants and winners to a face-to-face ceremony that would have fostered new connections and networking. However, with the pandemic now being under control, we are planning a live physical ceremony on the 10th of November. Of course, we are closely monitoring the global health situation to ensure a safe experience for our applicants. Therefore, we will post updates regularly to inform participants of the status of the ceremony.
3. New International Awards representatives
We understand the importance of providing a tailored service to each applicant. Therefore, we hired and trained new Awards Representatives who will be designated to a reduced number of participants. The new approach should improve our efficiency and efficacy, allowing applicants to receive timely responses and dedicated support.
We look forward to receiving your applications soon!
