Civil Service HR hopefuls denied awards glory

October 29, 2009

Remember these guys? The HR Validation Group Monitoring team at the Department of Health were up for the impressively vague 'Improvement Award' at the Civil Service Equality and Diversity Awards.

Apparently, they are quite good at getting people to tick more boxes on monitoring forms. Alas, they didn't win. At a (no doubt lavish taxpayer-funded) awards ceremony earlier this week, they were pipped to the post by the Glasgow District 'Move On' Team at the Department for Work and Pensions.

Guru demands an official enquiry! Unlucky guys, there's always next year.

A industry red-tape award in the spirit of the Darwin Awards would be fun :-)

All the best from Brighton,

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
