Telkom Indonesia honored as Organization of the Year

The Stevie® Awards, organizer of the world’s premier business awards programs, announced the winners of five Grand Stevie Award trophies in its ninth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only awards to recognize innovation in the workplace throughout the entire 29-nation Asia-Pacific region. All organizations in the region are eligible to submit nominations to the competition.

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Stevie Award winners in the various categories were announced on 21 April. Those awards were determined by the average scores of more than 100 executives worldwide acting as judges in March and April. Winners will be celebrated during a virtual awards ceremony on Wednesday, 29 June at 2:00 pm KST. Registration for the event is now on sale.

The 2022 Grand Stevie® Award for Organization of the Year goes to Telkom Indonesia, with 61.5 award points. Telkom Indonesia has won the Grand Stevie for Organization of the Year for the fifth time in the nine-year history of the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. The organization won for stellar nominations submitted on behalf of itself and subsidiaries Admedika, Infomedia, Metra Digital Media, Nutech Integrasi, and Telkomsigma. “Telkom Indonesia could offer a master class on how to prepare well-researched, well-written, and compelling nominations,” said Stevie Awards president Maggie Miller.

This award could not be applied for directly. The award is determined by a points system based on the total number of awards won in the competition, with a Gold Stevie win counting for 3 points, a Silver Stevie for 2 points, and a Bronze Stevie counting for 1.5.

Grand Stevie Awards are also presented to the highest-rated nomination from the four nations that submitted the most nominations to the competition:

From Australia: the Silver Stevie-winning nomination for Award for Innovative Management in Business Product & Service Industries - Up to 100 Employees, of their CEO, Amreeta Abbott, by Annature, Camp Hill, QLD. 

From China: the Gold Stevie-winning nomination for Award for Innovation in Brand Development entitled “The Ring is building a genuine ‘Urban Nature Community’,” submitted by Brand Head (Beijing) Consulting Limited Liability Company on behalf of Hong Kong Land (Chongqing) Asset Management Company Limited, Beijing.

From India: the Gold Stevie-winning nomination for Award for Innovation in Customer Service Management, Planning & Practice > Computer Industries, submitted by Cisco Systems (I) Pvt. Ltd, Bengaluru, Karnataka, entitled “Project Life of PI  – Facilitating seamless Cisco Prime Infrastructure to Cisco DNA Center migration.”

From the Philippines: “Project Shelter: Shell Helps 800,000 Filipinos in Pandemic Response,” the Silver Stevie-winning nomination for Most Valuable Corporate Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic submitted by Shell companies in the Philippines, Taguig, Metro Manila.

The 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards have recognized organizations in 20 nations including Australia, Belarus, Cambodia, China including Hong Kong and Macao, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Maldives, Nigeria, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and Vietnam. More than 900 nominations about innovative achievements in the 29-nation APAC region were considered by the judges this year.

This is the first time that two Silver Stevie-winning nominations have earned Grand Stevies in the same year.

“So many of the nominations we received this year address how organizations and people have met the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, so it makes sense that several of our 2022 Grand Stevie Awards will go to nominations that recognize those efforts” said Stevies president Maggie Miller. “We commend all of this year’s Stevie Award winners for their achievements, and we look forward to celebrating them on 29 June.”

Details about the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards and the 29 June awards ceremony are available at http://Asia.Stevieawards.com. 

Sponsors and partners of the 2022 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards include adobo magazine and PR Newswire Asia.

The Stevie® Awards, organizers of the world’s premier business awards programs, today announced the Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie winners in The 14th Annual American Business Awards^SM.

All organizations operating in the U.S.A. – large and small, public and private, for-profit and non-profit - are eligible to submit nominations to the ABAs in a wide range of categories, honoring achievement in every aspect of work life, from customer service and management to public relations and product development.  More than 3,400 nominations were reviewed in the judging process this year by more than 250 professionals, whose average scores determined the winners.

2016 Stevie winners will be celebrated and presented their awards during a gala event on Monday, June 20 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.  Tickets are now on sale.  The presentations will be broadcast live via Livestream.

CallidusCloud (Dublin, CA) is the leader among Stevie Award winners, with 40 wins in a wide range of categories, including six Gold.  CallidusCloud is sure to be among the winners of the Grand Stevie Award trophies, the top overall winners in this year’s ABAs, who will be announced next week.

Winners of four Gold Stevies include CAS (Columbus, OH), Jeunesse Global (Orlando, FL), and MWW (East Rutherford, NJ).

This is the first year in which Stevie winners in The American Business Awards are announced before the awards gala.  In the ABAs’ first 13 years, finalists were announced in advance of the awards gala, but the Stevie winners weren’t revealed until the night of the presentations.   

Every new product or service nominated in The 2016 American Business Awards will automatically be included in voting for the People's Choice Stevie Awards for Favorite New Products, a worldwide public vote. Voting will open tomorrow and conclude on June 3.  People’s Choice Stevie winners will be announced the week of June 6, and will be honored during the June 20 presentations.
