Big response to Business Excellence Awards 2021
SWISSCHAM Singapore’s Business Excellence Awards 2021 got quite an overwhelming response as companies were eager to be seen and be recognised during the exceptionally challenging times due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
There were 45 nominations for the Digital Transformation Award (DX) and 14 for the People & Skills Development Award. As DX was open to applications from the Asean region, the number of nominations was much higher than those for the other award.
“With the support of our partner Skills Future Singapore, the People & Skills Development Award 2021 received a number of applications from our members and non-members coming from different industries and company sizes,” says SwissCham Singapore chairman George von Wattenwyl.
The jury panel decided to award DKSH Singapore as the overall winner for how the company demonstrated excellence in supporting, training, and developing their employees. Julius Baer and McDonald’s Singapore were also outstanding and were recognised as the 2nd and 3rd place winners. This was the fifth year that the People & Skills Development Award was handed out.
For the second edition of the Digital Transformation Award, SwissCham collaborated with Deloitte to offer a platform to all organisations in Singapore and the Asean region to showcase their digitalisation efforts. The Award recognized achievements in entrepreneurship and digital transformation that were closely linked to Swiss values and success factors.
The jury of experts selected 8 subcategory winners: IDV Concepts for the Advanced Manufacturing Subcategory, ada X SaladStop! for B2C Subcategory, Siemens for the Building & Infrastructure Subcategory, Speedwork Autocare for the Business Services Subcategory, BIZZI for the Financial Services Subcategory, EyRis for the Healthcare Subcategory, Allianz for the Insurance Subcategory and Netcetera for the Cybersecurity Subcategory.
Out of the 8 subcategory winners, Netcetera was the overall winner of the Digital Transformation Award 2021. The award team also gave a special recognition to Child Project Indonesia, as winner of the Non-Profit Organization category. SwissCham Singapore’s Business Excellence Awards 2021 were presented at an event in December last year.
