Employee Excellence Awards

Employee Team of the Year Award

A team that achieved more together than anyone expected.

About this category

This award recognises a team of employees in any function whose shared effort, support for one another and results stand out. Judges look for what the team achieved and how its members worked together to achieve it.

Eligibility

Open to teams of three or more employees in any function or organisation.

Judging criteria

  • Results achieved
  • Teamwork and mutual support
  • Overcoming challenges
  • Customer or organisational impact
  • Team culture

Qualitative criteria

A team whose members make each other better.

Metrics

  • Targets met
  • Projects delivered
  • Customer feedback
  • Retention and engagement

Additional criteria

Entries should include a short account of the contribution, supporting figures where they exist and, wherever possible, comments from colleagues, managers or customers. An employee can be put forward by anyone who has seen their work, or can enter themselves. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel, and customer or colleague names can be left out. Judges consider the size of the organisation and the nature of the role, so a cleaner, a driver or a care worker competes on equal terms with a head office professional.
