To that end, i4cp turned to its network of member organizations to uncover world class examples of next practices in action. The Next Practice Award showcases the design, implementation, and measurement of innovative people practices that effectively address current business challenges.
Organizations ranging from established Fortune 500 firms to fast-growing brands are among the 10 semi-finalists:
- Abbott

Their submissions, which vary from achievements in performance enablement to diversity & inclusion, and leadership development, will be featured on the i4cp website over the next two months, starting the week of March 7, 2016. The winner will be announced at the i4cp 2016 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.
