5 TIPS ON WRITING A WINNING ENTRY
1. Keep it clear and concise
Clarity is key. Be specific about your objectives, strategies, and outcomes — and back them up with facts, not fluff. Use simple, direct language and avoid jargon. Structure your answers thoughtfully so each section directly addresses the questions asked.
2. Follow the format
Use only the official entry form and stay within the word limits. Keep branding out of your submission to ensure fairness. A well-structured, narrative-style entry that flows like a story will capture the judges’ attention and make your work stand out.
3. Back it up with evidence
Strong entries are grounded in measurable results. Support your story with clear data — for example, reduced turnover by 18% after launching a career growth framework, improved engagement scores by 25% through a wellness initiative, or achieved ₱1.2M in annual savings from lower absenteeism. Be specific, show the link between your HR initiative and its real business impact, and avoid vague claims.
4. Build a strong business case
Show how your HR initiative drives business results. What problem did you solve? How did your solution create measurable value for the organisation? Demonstrate how HR acted as a strategic partner — implementing initiatives that deliver tangible returns and lasting impact.
5. Start early and proof carefully
Great entries take time. Start early to give yourself space to refine your story, gather data, and polish your writing. Always proofread — small errors can distract from a powerful narrative. The earlier you begin, the stronger your entry will be.
