OXFORD, England, July 1, 2011 -
Awards won for
Most Effective Benefits Strategy, Best
Use of CSR in HR and
Most Effective Total Reward
Strategy
RS Components (RS) the world’s leading high service distributor
of electronics and maintenance products and the trading brand of
Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), has won multiple awards for its
innovation and best practice in human resources (HR). At recent
ceremonies in London, the company was awarded Best Use of CSR in HR
and Most Effective Benefits Strategy at the HR Excellence Awards
2011 and Most Effective Total Reward Strategy at the Employee
Benefits Awards 2011.
The company’s total reward strategy, ‘My Reward’, was the
winning innovation for the Most Effective Total Reward Strategy and
Most Effective Benefits Strategy awards. Both categories were
awarded for demonstrating the successful adoption and
implementation of a ‘total reward’ or benefits strategy, including
how the strategy benefited the organisation and met its business
needs. My Reward encompasses every benefit and positive aspect of
working for RS and has given employees greater visibility and
control in the way that they are rewarded. This has helped the
company to improve engagement with its workforce, retain employees,
and attract new talent.
The Best Use of CSR in HR award was presented for demonstrating
the strategic role of HR in the execution of corporate social
responsibility (CSR) initiatives throughout the organisation,
including how it is making a difference to employees and the
business. Through its CSR policy, RS has shown a strong sense of
community responsibility, encouraging its businesses to enhance
relationships with their local communities and increasing employee
participation in activities that benefit these communities. This
has produced numerous successes on many levels both for RS, its
employees and the communities at large.
Ian Watson, General Manager, HR at Electrocomponents, commented:
“These awards are a true recognition of our ongoing commitment to
our employees and a testament to the hard work and effort the HR
team has put in to help support the growth across the company. Our
innovative use of new strategies and activities to improve employee
engagement and increase job satisfaction has been tremendously
successful. We will continue this drive for excellence on our
journey to make RS a great place to work.”
The HR Excellence Awards is well established as the key event
for recognising talent, intuitive thinking and excellent execution
of employee focused schemes in the HR industry. The Employee
Benefits Awards is dedicated to celebrate, recognise and reward
those employers which have made a significant difference to their
organisations through their reward strategies.
