Quintiles India’s entry, ‘Engaging Employees Through A Challenging Transition’ has won the Gold Sabre Award for excellence in public relations programming in the employee communications category at the inaugural 2013 Sabre Awards India ceremony held in Delhi. Instituted by The Holmes Report that provides the most sophisticated reporting and analysis on public relations trends and issues globally, the Sabre Awards are a global benchmark for public relations work. The Holmes Report joined forces with the Public Relations Consultants Association of India to launch the Sabre Awards India to showcase the best of India’s public relations work.
Quintiles India’s award winning entry focused on a carefully orchestrated communication campaign that was rolled out in 2012-13 for the Bangalore office consolidation, an exercise that involved the transition of around 1700 employees from five locations in Bangalore to one facility in the city. It was a communication campaign that combined traditional channels with digital channels via the organisation’s award-winning corporate intranet, iQ, to engage and excite employees. The entries were judged by well known professionals across public relations firms and corporate organisations in India.
“This is fantastic news. I am so glad that the project team’s investment and creativity in using various communication approaches to engage employees from the start of the project to the completion paid off handsomely with this Gold Sabre award recognition,” said Dan Kum, Vice President, Real Estate and Facilities, Quintiles Apac.
