CIPD reveals award winning people management initiatives
July 2007

Eight organisations fought off fierce competition to be short listed as finalists in the running for the prestigious People Management Award. The award recognises cutting edge people management practice and this year it was divided into four categories - learning and development; engagement; talent management; and the role of line managers. These new categories reflect the need for employers to engage and retain staff through effective talent management and learning and development initiatives in order to succeed.

The award will be held for the 12th consecutive year and the winner will be announced on Tuesday 19 September, at the CIPD Annual Conference and Exhibition 2007. This event is being held at the Harrogate International Centre, from 18-20 September 2007, and it attracts around 5000 people management and development professionals each year.

Geoff Armstrong, CIPD Director General, says: "The People Management Award acknowledges the creative initiatives employers are using to improve performance and achieve business objectives. The high quality of entrants this year demonstrates how good people management practice can produce both productive and profitable organisations and positive working environment for employees."

The eight finalists are:

Network Rail
BBC
B&Q
Royal Mail
Legal Services Commission
Malmaison/Learnpurple
Metropolitan Police
Surrey County Council

If they had an ounce of decency they would ask to be withdrawn.

The Metropolitan Police eh?

"I see your up for an award John!"
"My name is Allan."
"Is it really John? Is in really?"
"Yes, and I'm the Chairman of Royal Mail."
"Are you now John! That's very interesting. I'm Detective Inspector J. Davidson of The Met. We think you should be a good boy and pull out of the awards John!"
"Why should we? All our managers are full of initiative!"
"Legs can get broken John!"
"You wouldn't dare!"
"Wouldn't I John? Then there's that little business with the pension fund, aint there? You wouldn't want that getting out, now would you John? And before you think of hopping it to Canada, this is my cousin, Detective Inspector Jean Marsaud of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police."
"You win this time copper, but I'll be back!"
"You've never heard of Derek Bentley, have you John?"

If they win maybe they can send along some of their strike breakers to pick up the award.

And of course the BBC manage their people well - so well in fact that they give them the prizes for phone ins while customers are still on the phone. B&Q staff aren't that well managed - I went into one of their stores and an old guy in a B&Q uniform walked up to me and said "d'yer want deckin' mate ?" So I got the first punch in and ran back out - case comes up on tuesday

I'll get me coat

Network Rail aren't exactly well known for their Man Management either perhaps our resident RMT man can throw some light on that

We all know that these award ceremonies are just an excuse for the execs to have a free lunch and piss up, pat each other on the back and do some 'networking'. I hope :cfo and :lfo choke on a chicken drumstick.

Royal Mail identified a need to transform their HR services in order to reduce costs, exceed customer perception targets and ensure staff were customer focussed and enthusiastic

RM really are a joke, in order to achieve thier target, they reduced the staffing levels by 50% and whilst this was happening they wanted to ensure staff were customer focussed and enthusiastic!!!!!!!

Yeh Right, you are faced with loosing your job but they still want you to be focussed and enthusiastic!

I must say though, it does sound very familiar with what they are trying to do to us now
