Westpac Waikato Business Excellence Awards 2010

Date: 2010-05-24
One of the greatest promotional and growth opportunities for businesses is the annual Westpac Waikato Business Excellence Awards. The process involves business owners stepping away from the day to day operation and looking at their business from a different perspective, one that considers the plans and strategy for a sustainable future.
Winning a business excellence award provides more than just a trophy. The judging process is generously undertaken by a team of local business people with mana in the region. 
Winning a business excellence award is one of the best marketing opportunities a business can have. Being edified by your peers is a significant and strong testimonial of your ability and excellence.
Looking for great staff or more customers? One of the recent winners says, ‘that winning the award has ensured they have a rich pool of talent to choose from because people want to work for organisations that are successful.’ Customers are the same, positive energy and recognition of excellence is a great draw card. People go where there is energy and other good people.
Some organisations use it as a training ground for the future. When you are working hard in/on your business, time to reflect on systems and strategies is easily re allocated to support your team meeting deadlines or other pressures. The entry process will provide business owners with the information to assist in identifying future opportunities, staff development possibilities and a template for a sustainable and successful future.
Seeing value in this process can only be truly experienced by being part of it. The opportunity to acknowledge your team at the Black Tie Dinner and Award ceremony is great for teamwork and networking. Networking is still one of the most important business tools in this decade.
The Waikato Chamber is proud and acknowledges the support of its category sponsors. The majority of these sponsors have been supporting this Event for the last five years.
We wish all of the competitors well for the Westpac Waikato Business Excellence Awards 2010 and we look forward to a fantastic celebration of diversity, passion and sheer grit with you and your team.

Hamilton is a smart city full of smart people and businesses that provides a significant commercial hub for the greater Waikato.
With good leadership in Councils and committed agencies for business this region is full of opportunity. Opportunity that makes others sit up and take notice.
