Introduction to Gold Award 2010
The Gold Award for Business Excellence 2010 will be launched at functions sponsored by Cliftons in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth. The Gold Award is a National Award in keeping with AOQ-QLD®'s national presence.
The AOQ-QLD® established "The Gold Award for Quality" to recognise and encourage organisations in the pursuit of excellence, sound Company-Wide Management and overall business improvement. The award has been in existence at State level since 1994. In 2004 the National Gold Award was formulated, rewarding the highest point scorer of the State winners in each category as the Inaugural National Gold Award for Quality winner.
In 2010 the current sponsors are Mercer Management, Progressing Business eZine, and World Conference Systems.
At the launch of the Gold Awards in 2010 companies that have previously won the awards will speak about what winning the award has done for their business. A general overview on the program will be provided as well as information on the application process, important dates and requirements to be eligible to apply for the Gold Awards.
