Seventeen organisations from UAE will be honoured with Stevie Awards this year at the 17th Annual International Business Awards.

 

Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) of Dubai and Dubai Municipality were the big winners in this year’s competition.

 

High-achieving organisations and executives around the world have been recognised as Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners. 

 

Nicknamed the Stevies from the Greek word for "crowned," the awards will be presented at a virtual awards ceremony on Tuesday, December 1. Tickets for the event are on sale now at www.StevieAwards.com/IBA. It is the world's only international, all-encompassing business awards programme.

 

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie winners were selected from more than 3,800 nominations about 200 fewer than last year, from organisations in more than 60 nations. 

 

“Given the extraordinary circumstances in which businesses and other organisations around the world have operated over the past six months, we’re gratified by the number of entries the IBAs received this year and the amazing number of stories of continued business success, individual heroism and selflessness, and increased commitment to the health and safety of employees, customers, and communities,” said Stevie Awards President Maggie Gallagher.  

 

All organisations worldwide are eligible to compete in The International Business Awards, and can submit entries in a wide range of categories, including management awards, company of the year awards, marketing awards, public relations awards, customer service awards, human resources awards, new product awards, IT awards, web site awards, and more. 

 

Dubai's RTA won two Gold Stevie Awards, one Silver, and two bronzes for Technical Innovation of the Year, Best Use of Social Media - Covid-19-related Information, Achievement in Product Innovation, Governance, and Risk & Compliance Solution.

 

Dubai Municipality won two Golds, one Silver, and one Bronze Stevie Award.

 

Ministry of State for Federal National Council Affairs won two Golds for Human Resources Department of the Year and Organisation of the Year - Non-Profit or Government Organisations Category.

 

Other winning organisations are Al Zahra Hospital Dubai, Dubai Municipality, Federal Electricity & Water Authority, Horizontal, HQ Worldwide Shows, Kifaya Thallam (Individual), Public Prosecution Department in Ras Al Khaimah, and Smart Dubai.

 

A total of 174 organisations from the Middle East and North Africa region such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Morocco, Egypt, Jordan and Qatar will be honoured in this year’s award programme.

 

During the week of 21 September the winners of the Best of the IBA Awards, five best-of-competition prizes, will be announced.  Winners will be determined by a tally of the total number of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevies won by organisations, and will be honored on 1 December. -- Tradearabia News Service
