WorldatWork strongly encourages each of its local affiliates to establish goals and strategic initiatives in support of the HR profession and total rewards, and to meet the needs of HR professionals. These goals and initiatives allow our affiliates to increase their visibility and effectiveness as well as expand impact within the HR community, and they are the basis for WorldatWork’s Affiliate Awards.
"I firmly believe in the synergy between WorldatWork's expertise, and the localized support offered by our Affiliates,” said Elissa O’Brien, VP of Membership, Affiliates and Customer Experience. “The success of human resources and total rewards professionals is amplified through this collaboration. I want to express my admiration for the exceptional contributions of our local affiliates, recognizing their pivotal role in shaping the profession. Today, we joyfully celebrate and extend heartfelt congratulations to our top affiliates, acknowledging the profound impact they consistently bring to our field."
WorldatWork asks affiliates to submit to four award categories to be considered for Affiliate Award recognition: Advancing Human Resources & Total Rewards, Professional Development of Members, Community Involvement, and Member Engagement & Growth.
There are four different award levels that affiliates can achieve based on their ability to meet the qualification for the four award categories: Sapphire (one initiative), Emerald (two initiatives), Ruby (three initiatives) and Diamond (four initiatives).
