European Telework Week Awards 1999Nomination Dossier Categories For 1999 1. Best Example In Large Organisation Nominees in this category demonstrate a wide uptake of telework, integrated in the way of work within the organisation. Criteria to be considered: breadth of uptake (both in number and in categories of staff included), quality of communications and access to information, when not in the office (both in terms of technical support and organisational provisions), clarity of objectives and measured achievements (eg reduction of office space, improved customer service, retention of staff). 2. Best example In SME Over the last six years most new jobs are created in SMEs. New technology allows use of high tech and advanced communications, scaled down to any level of operations. This enables starters and small enterprises to reduce their "time to market" considerably, and supports team working across organisations’ boundaries, with "open" constituencies, at affordable costs. Elements to be considered are: integration of technology use in business process, clarity of objectives and measured achievements (eg width of markets and networks in which the enterprise operates). 3. Best Supporting Public Initiative Telework became known to the wider public in Europe during the early nineties, as a potential contributor to relief of traffic congestion. Before that business did apply telework, but considered its way of working as part of the corporate culture and/or competitive advantage. Today it is recognised that the flexibility offered by integration of the new technologies enhances both competitiveness and quality of working life, when adopted well. Following this many public institutions have taken positive action towards promoting this. In this category the impact of the measure on uptake is very important, as well as the stimulation of a better understanding of new work opportunities. 4. Best Initiative Supporting Disadvantaged On the Internet you see the ability, without being distracted by the disability. The new world of work offers opportunities to previously excluded people, by complementing the available skills of an individual with interfaces that enables a much better deployment of those skills, then was ever possible before. Major element in this category is the proved impact, as well as the potential impact of any initiative that stimulates the participation in rewarding work. 5. Best Contribution To Public Awareness The slogan "Why change the way we work" has put a lot of UK inhabitants to rethink their way of working. This Award winning slogan of British Telecom was just one example of a wide range of advertising campaigns and awareness campaigns that are contributing to consciousness about the changes that are upon us, and are triggering uptake of new technologies. Originality and effectiveness are the most important factors here. 6. Best Supporting Technology Or Service (presentation in Technologies for Telework) New technologies and services, enabling us to work where we want, are coming on the market every day. In this category there are again only winners, although there is just one first price: all nominees will grasp the attention of many teleworkers in Europe and beyond, that tune in for the Telework Week Awards.
