To that end, i4cp turned to its network of member organizations to uncover world class examples of next practices in action. The Next Practice Awards showcase the design, implementation, and measurement of innovative people practices that effectively address current business challenges.
The 11 semi-finalists are:
- BASF
- BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee
- Booz Allen Hamilton
- Cigna
- Ford
- Ingersoll Rand
- Intel
- Prudential Financial
- Sears Holding Corporation
- TIAA
- T-Mobile
Their submissions, which vary from achievements in employee onboarding to career development, and workforce analytics, will be featured on the i4cp website starting in April. The winners will be announced on Tuesday, March 21 at the i4cp 2017 Conference: Next Practices Now, a vendor-free event for senior HR, learning, and talent leaders devoted to both looking ahead to what the future brings and focusing on the people practices that drive market performance now.
