The awards process
The Coaching at Work team pulls together a shortlist of nominees in consultation with leaders and experts in the fields of coaching and mentoring, and suggestions from magazine readers. The shortlist is then shared with the Coaching at Work Editorial Advisory Board members who form the Awards Judging Panel, along with the Coaching at Work team. A decision is based on entry quality, and the number of votes.
