national Awards programme

The NZBEF administers the New Zealand Business Excellence Awards which recognise the top performing organisations in New Zealand.  Applicants come from both public and private sector and entry is available to all NZ businesses.  Applicants are assessed under the same rigorous conditions and are evaluated in a similar manner to the prestigious US Malcolm Baldrige Award, which is internationally recognised and respected.

Applicants for the Awards have their organisation evaluated by a team of trained National Evaluators.  At the end of the evaluation process the applicant receives a comprehensive feedback report, which includes their current strengths and opportunities for improvement.  In addition, they are provided with a score of their current performance, which is able to be benchmarked with organisations Nationally and Internationally.
