The Methodology

Invitations are sent out to the companies that figured in each of the two merit lists: BT 500 list of Most Valuable Companies for 2012 and the Business World Real 500 for the year 2012. Apart from this, brochures/advertisements are sent for inviting applications from various organisations in public and private sector organisations in manufacturing, services, trade and other sectors.

The applicants are asked to fill in the attached questionnaire (as part of the application form) listing various HR and business metrics covering various areas of training, learning and development and business performance.

Data provided by the applicants are analyzed by an Expert Panel of cross-functional professionals drawn from various sectors. Wherever required, additional data and presentations are requested by the panel.

Expert Panel then shortlists Top 3 applications; in Private and Public Sector respectively. The esteemed Jury Members finally selects the winners; one each in Private and Public Sector.
