Launched in 2019, we have celebrated professionals of all genders and organisations in the FCERM sector, who make a real difference to gender equality in the workplace and across the industry.
ENTRIES FOR THIS YEAR’S AWARDS ARE NOW CLOSED
We are looking for inspiring individuals of all genders and at any stage of their career across the FCERM sector. The submission should demonstrate what the individual has done, particularly in the last 12 months (January to December 2022), to truly champion gender equality, diversity and inclusion and inspire others. You can either nominate a colleague, or nominate yourself with support from a colleague, to recognise these achievements.
What we are looking for
We have two categories:
- An individual who has made a difference in their own organisation, who, in the last 12 months in particular (January to December 2022), has proactively influenced and promoted gender equality, diversity and inclusion
- An individual who has made a difference across the FCERM sector, who, in the last 12 months in particular (January to December 2022), has proactively influenced and promoted gender equality, diversity and inclusion.
Note that an individual can only be entered into one of the categories.
Judging criteria
Judges will be looking for individuals who can demonstrate the following behaviours:
Leadership of gender equality, influenced change and promoted a culture of fairness, inclusion and respect
• demonstrated the highest degree of leadership, innovation and excellence in true gender equality, so everybody has the same opportunities on all aspects of work and career in a way that benefits all.
• acted as a positive role model and demonstrated a great desire to bring more diversity to their workplace or sector
• made an outstanding contribution to promoting a culture of fairness, inclusion and respect in their workplace or beyond
Developing and empowering self and others
• proactively helped develop self and others, provided the resources for guidance, time and advice in a motivational way and shined a light on the great things women can achieve
• acted as a positive role model and empowers others to feel able to ‘be themselves’
Nominations should include specific evidence and examples. Such as what was their contribution and what was the impact of their actions? What difference did it make? What was the end result? What was the reach they had in their organisation or sector (how many people did it benefit, who were these people?), was this above and beyond their day job?
All the nominations will be reviewed and scored on the following scale:
4 – distinguished themselves from their peers, consistently exceeding performance expectations for their level, going above and beyond.
3 – some great examples and commitment, but needs to demonstrate better the difference that their actions made/will make, especially in the long term
2 – some good examples but lacked evidence of the individual contribution they made and/or the impact/difference it made
1 – what we would expect of individuals
