SHRM MENA STAR AWARDS DECLARATION AND DATA PRIVACY CLAUSE:

The SHRM STAR Awards are the region’s pre-eminent awards, celebrating and showcasing the most effective and inspiring work in HR in the Middle East. We understand that sensitive commercial or other information may be essential elements to a successful award entry submission and effectiveness case-study. Protecting your data confidentiality is critically important to us and we have processes in place to keep your sensitive information safe.

After the awards judging process is completed, the winners of the awards will be announced during the SHRM MENA Annual Conference. Upon submission, the entrant automatically grants SHRM the permission to share details of the winners (including: name of the organization, category for which the award is won and overview of the practice for which the award is won) with the media, on the SHRM website and other relevant platforms. No announcement regarding participant names will be shared (other than the winners).

SHRM may subsequently publish case studies/highlights of the winning organization practices basis the information shared in the forms and the presentations to the jury barring any information marked as confidential by the participating organization. Your participation in the awards implicitly grants SHRM to publish such case studies and make them available to the larger HR fraternity.

SHRM is also creating a database of best practices/benchmarks around HR practices that will be used to identify insights for the HR fraternity in the Middle East. Certain data from the award entry submissions may be used for this purpose. All such data inputs will be anonymised with no reference to the organization and all identifying characteristics consolidated within a dataset operated and owned by SHRM. All data collected will remain confidential and will be aggregated so that it cannot be linked to an individual entry.

By clicking here you accept the above and confirm that all information provided in the application form(s) will be true and complete to the best of your knowledge and belief and that you accept all rules of participation in the SHRM MENA STAR Awards.
