On Tuesday, October 16th 2012, our organization welcomed the evaluation team representatives from the Foundation for Quality Culture and Excellence. Their visit was of formal nature, conducted as a part of the application procedure for granting this national award for business excellence. Upon the first application period, which entailed submission of well prepared contest documents, the PE “Roads of Serbia” was pre-selected for the award, thus fulfilling the conditions for being directly evaluated by the “Awards” evaluation team.
Evaluation team members were presented to the management and the members of the Quality Board. The presentation of excellence and positive characteristics of the organization’s business exceeded the formerly set expectations of being good and professional. All evaluation criteria (leadership, strategy, human resources, partnership and resources, processes, products and services, results-users, results-human resources, results – social community and key results) were presented clearly and in full consent with each of the responsible managers.
National award for business excellence – the OSCAR FOR QUALITY is awarded to profit and non-profit organizations, as an independent and neutral award for top-class results achieved in developing organizational and business excellence, as well as competitiveness.
