With postal authorities among the world’s largest employers, internal relationships and good people management significantly reflect on the competitive advantage and success of the company. The judging panel of this award will look for examples of

excellence in people management practice in areas such as change management, partnership with unions, motivation, raising performance, training and development. They will want to see effective policies that encourage fairness, diversity and the creation of a culture of customer focus, quality and improvement. Applications must be supported by appropriate measures that show the positive impact an organisation has made by investing in its people.

The employer of choice on the Island of Guernsey received the 2011 award for People Management by implementing a programme that had moved postal administration in a new direction. It was the Guernsey Post which was judged eligible for the top accolade in this category.
