Dhabi Police GHQ, Nakheel, ADNH Compass, Marriott International, Babyshop, Cigna
Healthcare, Du, Damac Properties, Rove Hotels, Alef Education, Masafi, and Pinsent
Masons were among the big winners. Inspired by the overwhelming response to that
edition, Plan3Media has added more categories and planned an eventful agenda for the
upcoming gala ceremony in Dubai.

Jatin Deepchandani , CEO, Plan3Media, attributed the success of Employee Happiness
Awards to its relentless focus on upholding transparency and integrity through a merit-
only approach.

“As corporate awards increasingly became self-congratulatory exercises, we seized the
opportunity to set ourselves apart by instilling a culture of meritocracy. Our relentless
efforts to make the Employee Happiness Awards synonymous with HR excellence are
now yielding tangible results, distinguishing our accolades from the rest.” In line with
Jatin's words, the Employee Happiness Awards is validated by a reputable global
accreditation programme called Awards TrustMark.

Employee Happiness Awards has a rigorous and systematic nomination process.
Nominees are expected to initially submit an online form with basic information,
category selection, and a write-up about their competencies. Finalists are invited to
make a 20-minute presentation to an independent jury, which will evaluate the
performance against a few metrics before selecting deserving winners. Plan3Media has
set a nomination limit of three categories per company. There are 22 well-defined
categories for companies and 5 for individuals.

Over 200 CHROs, HR professionals, government officials, and startup founders are
expected to participate in the black-tie gala awards ceremony, scheduled for Friday
(June 7, 2024), where Gold and Silver winners will be announced in each category.
Finalists and winners of the Employee Happiness Awards will receive a trophy
showcasing their competencies in HR strategies and employee experience. Recognized
companies will understandably excel at talent attraction and retention.
